4. My mom almost lost access to her pain meds

because they found traces of THC using an oil that was provided by my Aunt. She would kill herself if she didn't get them. She is a 74 year old woman with an inoperable abscess on her spine. Her insurance company was threatening to cut her off.

Yes she lives in Florida. This is the second time through on this opioid craziness for my family. My dad was at end stage colon cancer with at home hospice. He had those useless rub on pain medicines instead of an IV drip. That was in Louisiana.

It is a far different thing for a 70+ year old taking pain killers for these types of disease than a 30 year old.
