I want to help cannabis be re-legalized in any way I can. I'm a firm advocate for the full legalization of the cannabis plant; marijuana; pot; whatever you may choose to call it. I've been an advocate ever since the age of 15 after first experiencing the wonders of this beautiful plant that millions of us love for all it can do.

My first time smoking it, I discovered some of the benefits cannabis provides, such as relief of pain and calming of anxiety. Also, I am somewhat socially inept, and cannabis has helped me become more social with people because when I'm high I have lessened social anxiety and gain a better ability to talk to people. I'm more able to relate on others' level instead of being an irritable smart-ass. Cannabis has also helped me with insomnia and cachexia as well, among other things.

I love cannabis and I try to be as open as I can about those feelings on the Internet. I want to share and spread knowledge of its wonders so that everyone can understand why I, amongst millions of others, have chosen to use cannabis as a form of medication for various ailments. I wish the whole world could understand and accept why people like me have used this beautiful and wonderful plant for thousands of years prior to its current illegal status.

I may share a lot of information on this topic, though it's illegal where I live. The State Medical Board here did approve it recently for medicinal use, but the state has yet to change it's laws. So, people are still being busted. That's why you may notice that nowhere on the Internet do I fully disclose my exact current location or legal name, even though I know the authorities could still find me if they really tried to look for me. It's not like I'm a big-time dealer or something, but they may want to jail me because I'm such an advocate. So, if I ever disappear for awhile, it's because I've yet again (4 times so far) become a political prisoner in this ridiculous "War on Drugs" just because of my choice of medication. If they put me in jail though, I will suffer from my ailments for as long as they have me in, and I will medicate as soon as I get back out! Believe that! Just hope that my cachexia doesn't make me starve myself to death while I'm in jail, unable to get high to help my appetite.

The last thing I can think of right now that cannabis helps me with is the best benefit. So, I saved the best for last. When I haven't been smoking, my mind is very overwhelmed with thoughts, feeling sometimes like millions at a time, and many of them in vivid pictures. It can get to a point where I feel like it's going to drive me crazy. This is a problem I've dealt with all my life. I'm not entirely sure why, but many of those visual thoughts are often very evil in various ways, like seeing vicious things happening to myself or other people. Maybe it's due to all the horrible things I've seen in my life. Smoking cannabis helps me to slow and sort my thoughts. I still see thoughts of vividly wicked things, but I'm more able to sort them out and better understand why, thus calming me. Many times when getting high, I've even been able to describe my thoughts through poetic and lyrical form because the thoughts will come out in rhymes every once in awhile. This has been a miracle for me because the combination of music and pot has made my life a whole lot better; a world of difference.

So vote me for Mr. High Times, and make that vote because I need cannabis. I don't think I would have made it to this point in life without it, or if I'd have gone without for too long. This lovely miracle plant keeps me sane, keeps me calm, helps me eat, helps me sleep, eases my pains, and relaxes my thoughts so that I can get my rage out in a lyrical fashion instead of a violent one.
