it had been 31 years since I returned to Ruatoria April 2021. Its different, so quite, deserted but to see this doco helps me understand a little better. I was shocked when I saw how freely this plant was handled around, but now I tend to understand a little more on how much it does helps people in Ruatoria to survive, many may not understand but then many who dont understand possibly dont live there. I smoke now due to the chronic pain in my knees, hip, back and hands from arthritis it helps me to stay calm and centered. My hat of to Ruatoria for trying to stay above water and help the community. Much love

Can someone from outside your area be available to do your coarse. I feel my illness (Complex Regional Pain Syndrome) can be helped by cannabis.
