Re: Cannabis for pain relief
I know someone who is frustrated that cannabis is so hard to get legally for medical use It is the only thing that works on his chronic pain beyond strong opiates with far worse side effects. Yeah, I agree with you. I take prescription strength cocodamol every morning for my arthritic knee as I can...

Re: Cannabis for pain relief
I’ve used CBD oil for pain relief and while it doesn’t cure it, it lowers it to a 2/10 if that makes sense.

Re: New Zealand Civil Defence website
In the last few years… White Island blew up. Christchurch was flattened. Forest fires every year although not on the scale of Greece or Australia. Tsunami warnings a few times a year when there’s an offshore earthquake like the one that his Samoa a few years back. Mt Ruapehu - an active volcano, the...

Re: What Preps are you doing this week? Part 11
