Didn’t know this part of the forum existed but I want to say how grateful I am for the scientists who discovered MJ and refined it to the point where it has literally been a lifesaver.

I started to take it in September last year and moved up a dose when I felt it wasn’t working as well as it had been. Now I’m taking 15mg (on my second pen of that) and the change has been nothing short of miraculous.

My weight is now nudging 75kg which when you consider I was 118kg is quite the result. I’m off diabetic meds and BP meds and I feel better. Mentally there’s a lag between the reality and the memory but it’s catching up.

I’m likely to have one more 15mg pen before starting to taper off to lower doses in order to find what maintenance is for me.

It’s been self funded and isn’t cheap but it is priceless.
