Inflammation

Poz people have reached a place where, with medications, they can expect the same quality of life as everyone else. Even so, HIV medications are not a cure all. However the pills don't reduce inflammation to the levels of the general population.

Also, someone with HIVs immune health isn't as strong as others. So these problems and more have led many poz patients to take on HIV with cannabis to combat inflammation.

I started making plasma donations between student aid checks in college at 23 years old. The donations were my way of making additional income while focusing on my degree. Rarely enough for more than Taco Bell but the donations proved invaluable to me at the time. One week I used donation money to help pay for a trip to Denver I had made the weekend prior.

What would happen next would lead to me using cannabis to take on HIV for the first time.
