Lauren Houston was diagnosed with Interstitial Cystitis (a painful bladder condition) in 2006.  A few years later she began experiencing gastroparesis or stomach paralysis. Lauren feels her gastroparesis was caused in part by the very strong pharmaceutical pain killers prescribed to control the symptoms of her IC. After a new drug Marinol made her feel awful, she researched the drug to discover it was a form of synthetic THC. She knew that THC was found naturally in cannabis, and she decided to use the real thing instead.  She has had tremendous success with cannabis as medicine - eliminating most of her "harmaceuticals". Lauren has become an outspoken advocate for cannabis and frequently makes trips to her state capital to lobby in favor of legalization.
