    What a great talk by Claudia Little! It’s so good to hear someone that can quote source material while simultaneously engaging the listener.

    Her message deserves a wide distribution. I’ve downloaded the .mp3 for wider distribution.

    Good reference to vapefiend.com FTW

    Thank you for posting this. As a medical user myself, I often am challenged rationalizing my use to those who do not approve or do not understand.
