I am 52 and married with two grown-up children. In 1979 I was
diagnosed with arthritis and told I'd be in a wheelchair within
eight years. I was prescribed drugs which were worse than the
disease. After seven years my doctor suggested I try cannabis. I
have had many doctors; the general opinion was that if it helped
I should continue. About a year ago, everybody I knew had trouble
obtaining it and I found I was supplying other sufferers. I am
now in prison and told to expect a three-year sentence.
