Cannabis is a gift from God

Dear Editor,

I wanted to take a moment and thank Todd and Brenda at The Loaded Toad for all their help in getting me the medicine I need. I have been treating my own throat cancer because I refuse to go the traditional mainstream medical establishment route of destroying my immune system to kill the cancer cells. The odds are not in my favor and so I decided to go a more natural, God-given route for my treatment and use cannabis.

I had read about all the anecdotal evidence that suggests that cannabis can kill cancer and found information about what is called Rick Simpson Oil or RSO for short. After much thought, research, and prayer, I decided to go the cannabis route and started my treatment back in September of 2021. I had been sourcing my cannabis from concerned friends and family who had given me several ounces of flower, which I processed into RSO and had been dosing it orally, 3x a day. At first, the oil controlled the pain wonderfully, and I assumed it was also killing the cancer.

The Rick Simpson protocol calls for 60 grams of oil in 90 days, which I had done, but I was still experiencing all the symptoms, and they were even worsening. I was needing to take more than the one gram of oil a day just to control the intense pain. I began to get very discouraged and was going downhill fast.

Almost out of desperation, I decided that it might be a good idea to talk to a cannabis doctor, which I did. The doc told me that my treatment was largely ineffective because I was not being more selective in the medicine I was using. In my mind, all I thought I needed was cannabis and the rest would take care of itself. How wrong was I?!?! The doc told me about all the research into cannabis and how the different strains make a difference in the medicine. He got me set up with my Montana state medical card, which was when I found Todd and The Loaded Toad.

When I met Todd, he was very familiar and knowledgeable about all these medicinal properties of cannabis and taught me about Terpenes and how they affect the medicine. He and Brenda then helped me pick strains from his inventory that would have good anti-cancer properties. Todd really knows his stuff!

So with that said, I brought home the flower and processed it into RSO. The first thing I noticed is I got a really good return on the oil at a little over 4 grams per ounce of flower. That was great. Secondly, after taking this oil for about three days, I noticed a huge improvement in my condition. Where the previous medicine had been lasting only about 3-4 hours, this medicine was easily lasting 8 hours and I was even forgetting to take my afternoon dose! While I had to up my dose to 4x a day with the previous medicine, I was able to cut that back to 3x a day again. Today, a little over 3 weeks since I started taking Todd's medicine, I am feeling 1000% better. The pain is back to being fully under control. AND.... the tumor on my neck, which was shrinking slowly using the other medicine, has shrunk to I would say about 25% of its original size and it's even getting hard to see and feel, and I know where it is!

I cannot say that I am cancer-free yet, but I feel strongly that day is coming. Cannabis is a gift from God and I am amazed at how it handles this horrible disease.

Finally, I cannot say enough about Todd and Brenda at The Loaded Toad. These are great folks, who know a lot about cannabis, and they REALLY care about their patients. Meeting them has been life-changing for me and I am very thankful for them. If you need medical cannabis, The Loaded Toad is the place to go!
