Im gonna copy & Paste this from 1 of the threads I posted this on. What's goin on guys. Kind of a long read, but i'd appreciate big time if you read it. Just wanted to thank you all for what you guys do. Im 21, I was diagnosed at 14 with Degenerative Shoulder/Bone Disease. I started getting prescribed painkillers at 14 for this painful condition which causes me to wear a straight-jacket to bed every night to prevent dislocations. If you look at me & meet me; you'd never think I had such a serious condition. I look like a regular kid, until I show you the massive scars going through each shoulder from 4 failed shoulder-surgeries. I have seen 8 surgeons this past 4 months; every single 1 of them was cringing & could NOT believe my 6 page MRI/Catscan. A Genetic Shoulder specialist from University of Berkeley walked into the room with a disturbing-interested-smirk on his face & his exact words were "My friend, I have never seen a more disturbing MRI/Catscan in my whole 49 year career. This is something you have to live with. I am sorry". I have had over 1000 dislocations & am now 75% paralyzed in my right shoulder/arm & 50% in my left arm/shoulder. I was reading about some people saying how "Medical cannabis is just an excuse for pure recreational use". This is literally the only thing that lets me live a SEMI-normal-life-SEMI-pain-free & most importantly; a NON-addicted life free from opiates Doctors try to shove down my throat. I have constant nerve pain (as I type, I can barely reach the keyboard). The MMJ Doctor said to me "Besides somebody with a dying condition like cancer, or somebody with no limbs, you are 1 of the only people I have seen that truly need cannabis". I was taken back when she said that! Anyways, since I'm new to this site (not to cannabis forums what so ever though) I just wanted to share my story. My question is, I moved from the east-coast exactly a year ago (Well, about, last June). The second I landed I had my MMJ Appt 1 hour later, then was at the dispensary 2 hours later. Since my condition is so severe & I stopped taking painkillers since I came out here my cannabis intake has gone up quadruple-fold, therefor I can not be wasting the small amount of money I do have on ounces & bullshit dispensary prices. I was walking out of a dispensary around September of October of 2011 after I asked the dispensary if they would do a price cut if; the asshole denied me and said it's whatever the price is, up. That dickhead with pinned out eyes who was for sure a drug addict lost out on 2000$. No wonder his Dispensary got closed. As I'm walking out, an older dude follows me to my car (I was with my mom because I can't drive cause of these fucked shoulders, I'm just a 21 year old college kid living at home, just my mom me and my sister) & he knocked on the window & said "Heard what you said and about your condition my man, that sucks, I can help you out buddy, Humboldt dank." He hopped in the backseat and pulled out like 4 P's of Cheese & Grape Ape. I almost shit my pants with excitement since I don't hang out with many people besides my family (I have major trust issues with people, & ever since I moved out to Cali I promised myself I wouldn't surround myself with sketchy people so I can keep a good reputation, as I am not built for jail what so ever man, just a 21 year old whiteboy mommas boy, not afraid to admit it). I ended up donating him 2000$ for a P of the most bombest boutique Cheese & Grape Ape (got a half of each.) 2000$ was a price i'd pay all day for this. Every single gram of that P went into my lungs, on my mothers life I do not sell at all. I wouldn't sell if somebody offered me 100$ for a gram, I'm not built for trouble. I had my days when I was younger back East, the "game" isn't for me, that is why I respect all of you, there is a lot of fuckin pieces of shit these days in the world. I think theres a lot more "love" out here though in the West opposed to the East. Anyway, after I finished medicating that P (its so nice to not have to worry about running out when you are in the kind of pain I am in..this is the only thing that gets rid of the nerve-side of the pain). I ended up going through him a couple more times, he was an amazing Caregiver. I go to call him a month ago; him and his wifes phone are out of service. My heart dropped. They must of been growing over the limit over in Humboldt & got busted. Im pretty positive they were over the limit too. Now that they are gone, my fuckin Caregiver is gone so I was forced to pay Dispensary forced. Luckily, my mom & I met some other older Caregivers. It's Outdoors though. My question is, I got a P of outdoors for 1000$. Is that a ripoff for outdoors? Any input is appreciated. Again, thanks for doing what you do, because this medicine that you people are putting on the market literally lets me live a semi-normal life with the pain I go through, since I do not have the option to grow even though I can legally because my family can not afford the light bill (my mom gets a percentage off so if i grew we wouldn't get that). Rough time in life man. Always looking for Caregivers for wholesale.
