It really galls me the way people try to put a stigma on the use of medical marijuana.
- These are some of the saying people who went in their teens and early 20s, they were habitual users of marijuana.
Now that they are in their 40s and 50s, they try to make people feel guilty for using legal, medical marijuana. Some people who are constantly deriding me for my use of medical marijuana, our family members. There is nothing I would like more than to start in on them and bring out all their dirty laundry. I would love to say to them, in front of my parents, what hypocrites they are. I would love to remind them of how are they would skip school so they could hang out on the corners and smoke ill legal marijuana with their friends. Fortunately, I am a better person than that. I take their jeers and off-color comments about my use of medical marijuana, and ignore them. When they were sneaking off in alleyways, puffing on their joints, I was in school to be a teacher. It wasn’t until I had to give up teaching because of cancer that they became self-righteous. I would love to throw us a few choice epithets at them, but it would do no good. Instead, I use my medical marijuana to help ease the pain and the side effects of my medication. I will not bow down to their criticism, nor will I tell them why I use medical marijuana. It is my business why I use medical marijuana and no one else’s.
