If you have a question about something I said, who is best to explain to you my meaning and intention? Me, or EB? Let me assure you that though EB speaks like he is an authority on me, he doesn't know me. And most of the things he knows about me are twisted conclusions that he's drawn on his own, in spite of anything I've said to clarify. He's fighting a fictitious caricature of me. It's actually rather strange if you sit back, be objective, and think about it. The guy tries to "pastor" me over a discussion forum... and I don't know him from Adam. Why would anyone take that seriously? It's almost like a mental illness. (Notice, he'll go off the rails saying I said he had a mental illness. But I don't know him well enough to say that. I only said, "It's almost like", he has a mental illness.) Just watch. He'll do it. lol

Take a deep breath, don't let them fill you with fear or concern, and be assured... I never threatened suicide. I simply asked if I did, would EB care for my children? The point is, EB can say whatever he likes, but vets with PTSD are killing themselves. And if medication can help them manage, is that so bad? After all, EB doesn't have to clean up the mess his ideas can make in real people's lives. It's no different than a televangelist telling diabetics over television that they can cease taking their insulin because God will heal them. If someone dies or is rendered seriously ill, the televangelist doesn't have to live with the fallout. That's all that my statement was designed to illustrate.

Now, as I said before... you can trust me, the one who said what I said, or you can trust EB... who doesn't even know my middle name.

Just be objective, and consider what I've explained above.

P.S.
I have only discussed cannabis as it relates to medical purposes, in contexts wherein it is legal, on a thread that is titled, "Psychotropic Drugs in Religious Rituals", that wasn't even posted by me. No one is promoting recreational drug use or drug abuse.
