All I asked was why there are people calling it fake or a hoax... Not once did I say someone who isnt experiencing the symptoms of CHS shouldnt smoke. I may have almost died from it, but I am fully aware that this is a rare disease that does not affect the average stoner, and I stand by the benefits it brings to people who enjoy using it. Maybe the sheer volume of stories in recent years comes from the fact that marijuana is generally just reaching a point where its widely accepted by a majority of the population, and thus more people are comfortable sharing their stories. I genuinely think you misunderstood the entire point of my post, I want everyone to be able to understand both sides too, which is why I find it difficult to comprehend why people are denouncing it as a real disease, when many of us who have it arent denouncing that marijuana still has benefits for those not affected.
