Paranoid? Not me! I am a member of the Three Rivers Collective and although I haven't known Chet Biggerstaff for more than 6 or 8 months I believe he has the best intentions for us as a group. Not just anyone can become a member. You must meet certain criteria. We are not here to hide anything. We just want to be able to control pain associated with whatever ailments each member may have, and it varies from patient to patient.
I personally have seen that some medications prescribed legally do more harm than good -- that's one reason I've joined this group.
I do not partake in daily use due to physical and financial restraints but do use when available, which has improved my ability to get up and move and actually sleep -- so nice to be able to sleep.
It has its downside too, especially with doctors who will not see you because you are involved in this type of pain relief. Could they be in the pockets of pharmaceutical companies? All in all this is not such a bad thing. Some are for it while some are against it, but until you've walked in our shoes keep an open mind.
