08-15 Army, 80% disability cannabis is the only thing that helps me with my issues, and I don’t live in a legal state but that’s not gonna stop me because I still need my medicine and it’s hard to find a good source, and expensive. so I decided to just grow my own and take the chance because you just got to do what you Gotta do sometimes. ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/growingmarijuana/original/4X/3/5/5/355a9a805c27765a2ffbc07470e9a3078ede49fc.jpeg) ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/growingmarijuana/original/4X/6/7/5/67599cb8746682ebe8bcfbbace7b793ba53fc5a1.jpeg) ---
