MattySimone: Boy I sure hope so because I've been on strong narcotic pain medication since June 2005 when Agent Orange started attacking my body. I sure would like to get off of the narcotics. I read recently that there is a bill in SC to legalize medical marijuana and I hope it passes, if it does I will try it. I'm almost 71 years old and an illegal drug has never passed my lips because I don't believe in breaking the law. I was with a Special Operations unit in Vietnam and although I've heard about illegal drugs in Nam there were no illegal drugs in my unit because going on highly classified covert mission being high will get ya KIA in Nam. Knowing SC like I do and SC being in the Bible Belt I'm not optimistic that the legislation will pass here in SC. Since cancer has attack me twice ( first February 2013 and most recently September 2014 ) I've beat it both times with surgery with one more cancer reconstruction procedure December 15, 2014 so it is encouraging for me to read/hear that marijuana helps with cancer and I've read many times that marijuana does in fact help with the pain. I'm so darn tired of the pain every single day since June 2005 except for the times when I was in the hospital for surgery and the hospital staff had me on Morphine by IV have been the only days that I have been pain free. I can't imagine how it would be being pain free by smoking a little marijuana every morning, almost a blessing from God. I'm looking forward to getting our VCIG shares and it is getting so late in the year that maybe getting the shares in January 2015 would be better for not having to pay the taxes on the dividend shares. Sorry for my long bloviating in this post my fellow MCIG investors but I just took a pain pill 45 minutes ago so being pain free for an hour or so I guess I get a little wordy. Y'all have an enjoyable and safe Thanksgiving if we don't get to chat again before that Blessed Day when we thank our Savior Jesus for all that he has provided to us. Most sincerely, Senior Chief
