Pot is completely legal in Illinois. I don't use it because my youthful experiments with it came to a halt because it gave me terrible headaches. Not worth the pain. It's a great reliever of pain. I did try cannabis cream for my bad knees, but it didn't help. Shots of cortisone into the knee do help.

I had surgery to fix a detached retina in early December. The retina specialist I see is happy with the eye's progress. Now I'm hoping that both eyes start working together adequately so that I can read books again. I did order a pair of reading glasses the other day to help myself along.
Take care of yourself!
