Why is Reverend Chris high?
Simple. I don’t like pain.
I have a wonderful disorder called Fibromyalgia, you might have heard of it. It causes you to be in pain for no reason at all.
Mine is pretty sever & I am usually in pain every single day. That is pain from head to toe, ranging from mildly annoying, to lying on the floor & crying. Oh, I also have 4 crushed disks in my spine. I also have bad knees & my hands tremble so bad sometimes I can’t even press a button my phone.
So, I used to take opioid pain killers (prescription), but that got too expensive. When new rules hit the medical community, I went from having to go in to the pain doctor every 3 months to every month. Then my Insurance bumped the visits to $50 & the prescription co-pay to another $50.
So, $100 a month was just too expensive, so I quit taking them. I started self medicating for a while with my “2×4” plan: 2 OTC pain killers, 2 neuron inhibitors, 2 muscle relaxers & 2 shots of vodka. This is what I had to do almost every evening to just get through the pain.
And then, they legalized weed. I could now smoke a little bit of weed & feel better for an hour or two. It was amazing & didn’t wipe me out like opioids or my 2×4.
