Quick, quick, I don turn prayer warrior be dat. I come dey promise God many tins say, if hm fit prevent dis madness wey wan befall me I no go ever near Indian hemp again……….for where!!!
“Since I’ve been in the world I’ve been smoking marijuana for about 55years now, and I think it’s a tremendous blessing
“As much as I tried some other drugs, I stuck to my Indian hemp because I became a master in controlling my high and making it work for me.
“Infact I make bold to say dat, I started smoking Igbo before Fela, Infact Baba Fela no smoke reach me, the only difference be say, He advertised it a lot, I just kept mine under wraps for a very very long time.
“Smoking weed always made me feel more creative, more probing, and more easy with myself. I always felt happy and free. Empowered and relaxed almost as cool as Ice
Aside from these positive impacts on my medulaoblangarta, cannabis has also helped heal my body in a way none of you can imagine.
“I have used marijuana to help treat some joint pains I have, it has also helped me to deal with my depression and anxiety. Sometimes I have used it to regain my appetite loss. I have always loved marijuana. It has been from time to time a source of joy and comfort to me for many years.
“And I still think of it as a basic staple of life, along with my vegetables, fruits supplements etc etc.
“Remember I was once a vegetarian. Most importantly I have discovered how to slow down my aging process by a concoction I discovered in my private lab many years ago.
The mixture of Indian hemp with some other secret grass has drastically.”
