You got me! For four years now I have been using Rick Simpson Oil (RSO) A very poten concoction made from the best strain of marijuana buds! I have eaten, dropped in my drinks and 3 nights a week now I put a drop in my belly button and a bandaid over it. Anyhow, My last cancer visit I was told to keep up my natural treatment routine! At that time because it is a VA Hospital they have to the LAW! I have to say something else here! I'm currently fighting Cancer but I also have Parkinson's! I just had my open heart surgery rescheduled for mid September! Anyhow I will continue my routine! Google Rick Simpson Canada and see what they did to him? He may still be on the Most Wanted List? All for the Love of his Father! A lot of People think oh your nothing but a doper or a stoner! A lot more names are available for sure? Just google that! Thank You for letting me spill my guts on this much appreciated platform
