Tim Barrus: New York Times PICK

CBD works for me.


Undoubtably conservatives will ruin everything just like they always do. Get it while you can. It’s not about pleasure. It’s about pain. Conservatives insist we be in pain.


I have Avascular Necrosis. Without CBD, I cannot move. Yesterday, I took a walk around the house. I have not even left the house in ages. My bones are dying inside my body. I could never even describe the pain. Today, I am going to make it down the block. I am going to push and push to do it. My doctors prescribed marinol. It helped. I was in less pain.


I am given CDB by the local company that makes it.


One look at how I am forced to live was all they needed. That and poverty…


No Big Pharma company has ever, ever done that. 


Cigna, my health insurance company, said no way. They will not pay for pain relief unless it’s an opiate. They will pay for oxycontin but not marinol. And we wonder about hundreds of thousands of opiate deaths. Marinol is not addictive. No pleasure, Conservatives. Just no pain.


I blame Cigna. Blame whoever you want. I blame Cigna.


One issue is punishment. Conservatives have a burning desire to punish anyone not like them.


Institutional hatred.


One issue is greed. Conservatives own Big Pharma. They make a boatload of money from selling their outrageous, poisonous opiates. They do not care.


I dare not grow marijuana. North Carolina will put you into prison for twenty years. 


 Avascular Necrosis in prison. I would hang myself. Conservatives would laugh to know I am finally dead. It’s in my fingers and my knees and my feet and my hips and my shoulders and it makes being alive unbearable. The only support I get is CDB.
