Boy, ain't that the truth.

I have no doubt therapy would have been *way* harder on me (and everyone
around me) if not for indulging in herbal refreshment - frequent and often.
Therapy beat me physically, for sure, but I truly believe the weed not only
helped me stay fully compliant to the drug regimen, it kept me sane and out of
jail.

A couple of years ago someone posted a link to a study that *clearly* showed
higher success rates in herbally-enhanced cohorts. Not that I needed the
confirmation, but I nodded my head and said to myself: "Yup. True. True."

Doctor Grey sez: "Smoke 'em if ya got 'em. And if ya don't got 'em, get 'em."

:-)

Cheers - to all viral warriors!

Just tell those around you: "And another thing - don't accuse me of
having Riba Rage... it really pisses me off!!!!!!!(#&()$&#$@#"

The current round of dragonslayer might not be so comfortable speaking
freely on usenet about their smoking habits while others just don't
have a reason to hide it.
This is a good article:

MJ is one of the best ways to combat the nausea, and I agree on the
Riba Rage disappearing if I was where it was at the time!
