The REAL Napster

Cannabis is one of the few 'natural' drugs out there that actually works. Natural meaning un-altered by man or process. My wife has MS and we know all too well about pain and costly medicines. (one of her prescriptions is like $3200.00 for 90 days. No wonder people can't afford to live.
Vaporizers are great not just for Cannabis but also good for Thyme. Marjorum, and alot of other wonderful herbs. Great clip, thanks for posting!

I have MS and my Dr told me to vaporize instead of smoke. He prescribed it, so I tried it and vaporizing is a bit costly to set up but the benefits out way the cost.
