Good taste and scent makes me look forward to the next session with so much eagerness. It gives me a boost of energy in the afternoon to finish all the pending work. Its a great joint to fight fatigue and increase your attention.
When I decided to stop taking painkillers to ease my severe joint pain, my wife thought I was going crazy. Till I told her I was going to try something else. When I told her it was marijuana, she was now convinced that I was going nuts. But its really helped me, this MMJ has eased the pain and made me feel like a teenager!
