    1st post. almost 30 years with the disease...

    ...though really, the disease was always there, just hadn't shown up yet. At least that's what I believe. Maybe it's easier to deal with and helps explain things from my childhood. I found the link to this site on the cannabis culture website. I didn't know it existed. When the internet...
