I have been a right leg below the knee amputee since 2010 when I first became a amputee , I was diagnosed with severe depression , I was given countless medications and nothing seemed to help. One day a friend and doctor asked me if I had ever thought of trying medical marijuana as a substitute , as I had not at the time , I thought I would try it and see how well it worked , needless to say , I no longer take traditional medicine for my depression , I smoke 2 times a day now and have yet to relapse into a severe depression state , it has now been 3.5yrs . Thank you medical marijuana growers around the world , without you I would be another mindless medicated drone .
