Leaving Facebook group Young Stroke Survivors

Don't worry James Cooper, after this response is published I will be removing myself from this group  before I get banned. I assume that this will also be deleted so I will be putting it on my blog where I only have had 1.7  million views. I see no reason to belong to a group where legal research and lobbying possibilities are not discussed. Going down the route of medical marijuana is only useful if that is the only way to take the next step of full legalization. The state statutes I've looked at don't allow use for stroke. With 10 million stroke survivors a year we can easily influence public policy but only if we can discuss the options. If you want to be a part of the problem along with all the stroke associations, neurologists and PMR doctors that is your choice. The status quo in stroke is appalling and the only way to change that is to take matters into our own hands. My post on The Way Forward details my ideas on what needs to be done.

Educate yourself.  I've written 78 posts on marijuana 
20 on medical marijuana
2 on THC
18 on cannabinoid
6 on cannabis
with this one covering covering it most concisely if you want to be enlightened; My 13 reasons for marijuana use post-stroke.  Or maybe this; Treating brain diseases with marijuana  
You can easily dismiss me because I have no medical training, which actually is a plus since our stroke medical professionals have been failing survivors for decades. Good luck on recovery for your children and grandchildren from stroke if WE don't take charge of everything in stroke. I plan on paying it forward, do you?
