Angels Come In All Different Forms...

[badbert]

   Like the title said, Angels come in all different forms. I have been a member here for many years. But for many years I have only browsed momentarily. I follow a different belief system, than some of you do. I don't handle stress very well. So the division of ranks here makes me uncomfortable. As usual I agree with both sides. So I am not here to argue either side.
  Even though I have been a member here since 2008. I only recently got over my fear of being on a government form as a (federally illegal) drug user. So I got my card.

  I tried the dispensary thing. Visited a few just for the freebies. But raising a family on SSDI and trying to acquire meds from a dispensary... All I could really afford was trim. 

  So I did the dreaded Craigslist search... low and behold there was an ad for trim at a ridiculously low price (compared to Dispensarys) Called the guy up and spoke with him for awhile. I told him I had skin cancer. We exchanged blurred pics of each others cards. And decided to meet.
  Up pulls this Santa Clause looking scooter tramp. On a Fired (real flame paint) out Harley Bagger. I knew right away we were gonna be friends. After the usual card and handshake, he opens up one of his bags and pulls out a Shopping bag, tied at the top. He walks over to the open trunk. Where I had my Carry box opened. He drops in the bag and closes it! I still hadn't even seen inside of the bag! I don't even know what I am donating for! I asked him what he thought the proper donation should be. Waiting to be screwed over... With a big bearded grin he handed me his card. And told me there would be no charge, and to call him when ever I needed more.
 I stood there playing 100 different scenarios where I was about to be mugged, murdered, or worse. When it hit me... he was already getting back on his bike. "Wait,please!" I yelled over the sound of that beast roaring to life. Hearing me, he shut the engine off and turned to look at me. I walked towards him my eyes starting to blur over. "Thank you, Brother." I said, "You don't know what this means to me. But please let me donate something". 
He reached his arms out, and I bear hugged him. That's what you can pay me! Karma! 
 The real surprise was when I got home and opened the bag. Inside was a BIG bag of Trim Labeled 'Critical Kush" waste product. Not useable. There were three more bags inside. Zip-lock sandwich baggies STUFFED! All big sweet smelling Frosty buds! They were labeled "Critical Kush" as well!

  He has been my Caregiver for 3 months now and he supplies me with enough to keep me medicated. What a difference health wise. When I got December's supply of pills I noticed a strange anomaly... Out of my usual 120 high strength Pain meds... I had 30 left over! My anti-anxiety meds I had almost thirty left of them! And also my Neuropathy meds had some left. I had 7 days left on one COPD inhaler. And my asthma rescue inhaler had only been used ten times!

Always said there are good folks that advertise on Craigs List. Not the first one I've heard about.

So glad you had such a great experiance.

 

Also very glad to hear you stuck around here and hopefully you we're able to learn a few things and maybe even teach a few as a result as well....

 

Knowledge is power.

reading leads to knowledge.

Expression of emotion can often times destroy the path to knowledge and around here many times that expression becomes passionate.

 

Welcome officially to the forums and thank you so very much for sharing your story it offers peace and strength through good will and these are qualities we all could be more expressive of.

 

Glad you are here.
