I am a part time resident of the Villages but also live in Massachusetts where I have my MM card. I do not like to smoke recreational pot because the high makes me paranoid and uncomfortable in social situations. I only take MM products that are very high in CBDs and have little to no THC (which is what gets the user high). I have bad knees and osteoarthritis (many old sports injuries) but I also love to work out and stay as active as possible. Before I discovered MM I was taking ibuprofen (Advil) and naproxen (Aleve) daily to keep me going. I then read about how prolonged use of these non steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs can cause all kinds of stomach issues, as well as increase risk of heart attack and strokes. Since discovering MM I have not taken a single on of these pills in over a year and my osteoarthritis pain is almost completely gone. I do not smoke pot or get high. I either vaporize a MM strain that is genetically engineered to be high in CBD and very low in THC or I take pure CBD by eating tasty CBD infused gummy bears. The CBD dosage is lab tested so you know exactly how many m.g. of CBD is in each gummy. Going to have 1 1/2 gummy bears in a few minutes and go to the YMCA and swim my daily mile and a half and then do the full CYBEX circuit at the gym. Cheers
