Top cop my a**. Most of these attorneys general being touted as “top cops” couldn’t pass a pre-employment polygraph to become a police officer.
I started using cannabis in 2015 to treat severe depression & anxiety after decades of taking prescribed Pharma meds.
My quality of life is greatly improved as a result. I’ve lost 80lbs. Gone from a 100% sedentary lifestyle to being very active. I’m thankful & so very happy I discovered this wonderful medicine.
