Today's "Medical Cannabis Success Story" is brought to you by my new friend, fellow massage therapist, and cannabis activist, Kathleen Callahan DeCaneva. Kathleen and I met on Facebook over a year ago. Although we have never met IRL or even had an actual conversation, I "talk" to her every day on social media.

Kathleen is typical of a lot of people in this country. She was brainwashed into believing that cannabis was a dangerous drug. She had never tried it until she turned 53. BTW, the average Illinois medical cannabis patient is a white female, in her 50s, with fibromyalgia. Cancer is the second most common condition. Many have never used it before, but turned to it out of desperation after years of enduring the horrible side effects of prescription medications that provide little or no benefit.

Here is a listing of the qualifying conditions from most common to least common:
