Is Good & Plenty made with real licorice? Most “licorice” candies are flavored with anise seed extract. Which may be medicinal in its own right.

The only thing I didn't like about smoking the weed was that it got me high. I was not in to that at all. I wish they could isolate the stomach-calming compounds and get rid of the part that makes you high.
It was also very helpful with pain, especially diarrhea cramps. It truly is a wonder drug, but the "druggies" have ruined it for the legitimate patients.
Btw, the "pill" Marinol is really a gel cap-type thing (a round sphere, actually) that is filled with oil. I had no trouble swallowing it and keeping it down, but, as I said, all it did was make me high.

I am very glad you are still with us and got through the ordeal of the illness and its treatment.

Personally I would put the blame on the government for confusing the issue of marijuana use. IMO it should be treated like any ordinary vegetable crop.

Thanks, Mate. It was rough going for quite a while, but I am nearly back to my old self now. Just a few side effects still linger, but nothing like during treatment.
(...and I still keep some weed around for when I have any trouble. I wouldn’t be without it, even though it is mostly just sitting, drying up in my cabinet.)
Freegards,

Dried citrus rind could be a good anti-bacterial for the helobacteria which attacks and destroys the mucosal lining of the stomach.

I decided against it but I did some research online. There are sure a lot of stoners out there growing weed in closets, basements, cabinets, even in old computer towers. These dudes are stealth! But they grow it to get high. I just want the medicine, and it is crying shame I have to fear the law in order to have it.

Make sure that it's dry. If you keep it long term it may begin to mold. Not good for the lungs. Er, someone told me that. lol
The freezer may be the best place for long term storage.
May your recovery continue on an upward trend.

A computer tower? Must be some dwarfish bonsai plants. LOL
I take it you're not in a medical marijuana state!?! Someone will come to your rescue if you really need it again.

I have little sense of humor these days....After rereading your post it was funny. Since I am from NJ I will pass it on. I am sure my friends will enjoy it.

I don’t know.
All I know it’s one of the few kosher candies handy in a movie theatre, that I like it, and it soothed my stomach!
