Advice & Tips: Yes this is a illegal narcotic, but lets get real. When you are very physically ill & have the choice to take several pills to maybe alleviate the situation or smoke a joint & not only find relief physically but also mentally. This should definitly be used in moderation based on your own physical symptoms. If only medicinal Marijuana was mainstreamed in the medical community we wouldn't have to worry about where we're getting it from....Can't help with that but this treatment is truly something I believe in, all politics aside.
