its a triple conundrum

ITS A TRIPLE CONUNDRUM

thetwistgossip.com

today is 4/20
its thursday

today is the day i go to the utsouthwestern infusion center
to receive my 2nd infusion of the experimental
alzheimers treatment drug made by biogen called
aducanumab

now
after the last one
i was told i needed to schedule the next one
in 29 days
or
two days before that date or two days after that day

i told the researcher
i want to do it on 4/20

ok
she said
not blinking an eye
we will set it up for you

i said
you know what day that is dont you
she said
i think its a thursday

no i said
its 4/20
thats mj day
marijuana day
willies day
the day we celebrate marijuana
the drug that has ruined many a teenagers life
when they were busted with it
sending them into the armpits of our jail and legal system

but
also
this drug marijuana
it has the possibility of helping those who have neurological diseases
like
ms
als
alzheimers disease
severe migraines
diffucult to control seizures especially in kids
chronic pain
anxiety
chemo nausea
chemo appetite suppression
just to name a few

the problem is
there are so much restrictions on its research
researchers find it hard to get approval to get money for research
on mj
and
they are restricted to use only marijuana grown on some farm
in mississippi thats controlled by the feds

the salk institute
a well respected research institution wants to do research on the
cbd component of marijuana
the part that doesnt make you high
but seems to have a lot of benefit in neurological diseases
especially children with uncontrolled seizures

this institution makes its chd from methane gas
the farts of cows
since
they cant access the marijuana plants needed for research
without a lot of red tape and lots of time it takes to get approval

im sorry this just smells bad to me in more ways than one

so
i turned to the researcher
and said
thats why i want to do my infusion on 4/20
to
give my support to chd marijuana research

so
i am making my stand today
in that support
as i sit down
stick out my arm
they insert that needle
giving me later that infusion of that stuff that might
slow my disease down

all i can think is
what if there is something in that marijuana plant
that could be do the same thing
you just vap it or smoke it or take an edible
seems easier to me

yes
i am stoked day
