My lifespan depends mainly on how much cannabis I received as a child to mitigate radiation therapy, and how much I continue to take daily as an adult. I was never offered or even told about medical cannabis as a youth. The only "information" I was given in highschool was drug-war propaganda which has now been proven false. This reefer madness caused me a lot of trauma in life. I've suffered a lot of abuse either for being a cannabis user without "official" exemption, or a user without a current cancer diagnosis.

Late Effects After Radiation Therapy for Childhood Cancer

Some of the people who abused me were ignorant and brain-washed and believed that my medicine was poison. They ironically believed they were preventing harm by stopping my cannabis use. Too bad those people weren't more obsessed with educating themselves than blindly "doing good". The other type of people who abused me were hypocrites: although they are cannabis users, they abused me for personal gain like a job promotion, an easy eviction, convenient slander, etc.

Thank you

to cannactivists who fight for my rights or have given me (discounts on) medicine. Our dedication to the cause has changed social perception of cannabis in Canada and worldwide. And thank you to @Drutter for teaching me how to and growing organic cannabis for me. Unfortunately, now that public opinion has changed, the iron fist of legaLIEsation is clamping down on the rights of medical users along with the personal freedoms of recreational users. Join us as we continue to fight!
