Try Cannabis They Say

try cannabis they say
people I did not know even knew the word cannabis
religious people
judgemental people
strict, status quo, black and white people

In my wildest imagination I never expected some of them
To even know what cannabis is
Let alone to recommend it to me
as a possibility.
I thought I knew these people

But life changes things
Pain and cancer brings out new possibilities
Pain and cancer brings new ideas to the fray
Desperation makes cannabis seem okay
And pain brings desperation

I never have figured out why it deserved a bad reputation. I cannot stand the smell but I know it has helped others like a miracle drug.
