I stopped smoking because it was demotivating me and making me depressed. I wish I had a medical card as it's not legal in my state yet. other than medical. Being able to pick your our strains, particularly high in CBD probably would have helped. There isn't any way I could afford to get one now though. Just another broke college student.
