Eat It to Beat It!

On my birthday, as great timing would have it, I got my expiration date.

My oncologist finally convinced me to have an EGD and a colonoscopy, even with my kicking and screaming, because I am old. You have to do things when you are old. Even if you don't want to. But, since I lived through it, I know now that I was a serious over-actor. Colonoscopies are a very good thing, and now that I have been through the process, I encourage you over 50 to get one.

I was scared, nervous, anxious, didn't want to do the prep. That is such BS. I did a lot of self stress for no reason. It was a piece of cake! So, just do it. A colonoscopy might save your life, that is, if you are in a state that has legal medical marijuana laws. If not, good luck.

On my birthday, I got the "both end" scope diagnoses from the both end biopsies. So, now that I know I have new cancer cells, I want to go back next year for my, not-so-feared scope session, completely cured by eating marijuana.

I know marijuana  kills cancer cells. I know marijuana greatly controls seizures. I know marijuana works great on nausea. I just wish there was more money for research. They haven't even scratched the surface on the benefits of marijuana.

My diet is very healthy, I'm not a vegetarian, like my grandson. I don't diet or exercise, but I stay active and busy. I am in good shape and my lab tests are all good without taking any meds. I just want to be living proof that cannabis kills cancer. Since marijuana will not be on the ballot until 2016, I sure don't want to wait that long to experiment.

I, like everyone else in Wyoming, will be making a road trip to stock up on edibles. I really don't know about smoking for a cancer cure, but I truly believe you can eat it to beat it. Since I can't pick up stakes and move,I am going to attempt to grow it and eat every bit of it. I just know it will take a lot of plants. If they all turn out like my 1st little Charlie Brown baby plant -- I will not die of cancer, I will starve to death.

On a happier note, I know states who make cannabis edibles that will save my life, or at the very least allow me to be my own guinea pig and prove cancer can be cured by cannabis.  I am going to eat it to beat it!

Weed Wyoming

I recently watched the induction of Cheech and Chong into the Hall of Fame. During this, I reminisced about the first time I was introduced to marijuana. I didn't know it was illegal, because I didn't know what it was. I came from a Wyoming family that didn't drink or dance, and since drugs were a part of the "other side of world", never had a discussion on drugs.

After college, I got a job in Houston, the "other side of the world", for three years. That first summer in Houston was a revelation into the brilliant lights that were going to always be a part of my life. I discovered Reggae and Marijuana (what a combo!) and I played my first game of pool. At 25 years young, I was having the best (sex-free) time of my life. But since I hadn't really LIVED, every experience was a wow factor. With my upbringing, everything I was doing was deemed wrong, so there were a few things I wouldn't do out of fear of the unknown. Funny, everything I did was an unknown. I have never done IV drugs or cocaine, because I am totally content with weed. I was able to see other drugs and the effect, and just wasn't interested.

Aren't we all amazed how things have changed since our parents' young adulthood's! (Ha, I mean anyone over 50). On the news this morning, my ears shot forward and my head snapped toward the tv as I heard the word "marijuana". Hooray! Wyoming IS a progressive state! However, mj still has such a stigma, I swear I could hear sarcasm in the announcers voice as he told about NORML working on getting mj on the 2016 ballot. That announcement made my day, and I did a happy dance in the kitchen and hoped I live long enough to smoke my first legal bowl. I will certainly show up to vote!

Thank you NORML and WEED WYOMING. Happy Holidays!
