What 420 means to me.

For so many of us, 420 is a number or phrase to show our cannabis passion, some get it tattooed, some just religiously smoke to the clock by it, and some use it for code (as the original use was for). For me it brings back good memories, some extremely sad ones as well, of past 420 smoke sessions with friends, some indoor and some outside. Some people I still have remained best friends with and some just a fading memory. As a medical user of cannabis I wish I could open the minds of those around me whom think it is nothing but a detrimental drug, in the same class as heroine or meth.

Cannabis doesn't ruin your life, you are responsible of the choices you make in life, and a plant doesn't make them for you. This plant has saved my life in many different ways, between the pain my spine from shitty genetics, my crippled arm from a bad accident, terrible social anxiety and anorexia (which is hard for me to admit, as it is a mental disease. I do not wish to look like a underfed model) this plant has done more for me then my own parents have, and if you knew my parents in real life, you would agree (no I will not bash my parents on the internet).

From calming me during panic attacks, helping me force food into my stomach (and staying there) and making it possible to ride my Beautiful beast horse Nova, whom is the light of my life, I don't think I would be able to look at my past and future with any hope without this wonderful healing plant. This plant can change the world if we help along the message that it is a healing herb and not a monstrous drug like the 'reefer madness' campaign ground into the heads of our parents and grand parents. We can be the change we want to see in the world. Cannabis helps me stand tall by my self and proudly say it is my MEDICINE.

Thank you
