HI there. Excellent posts. Thankyou for yours on my blog. I apologize, have written since about the astounding health benefits of so many strains. Have deleted that post, as I did not update it, once we all discovered the profound impact of MM. It pertained to the side effects of not organically grown cannabis. Take care, Gwen McClellan
