A well made, high quality, HHC and CBD tincture, 2 drops a day is an actual miracle drug for me.

It doesn’t change who i am or how i function.

It just makes me capable to bridge my functioning to be compatible with how the rest of the worlds functions.

But because you can’t actually get custom cannabinoid medicine in any legal circuit anywhere (I believe) its availability was always going to be temporary… how i miss those days of simply being better.
