    Free up jah herbs.. don’t you see the struggle in society with so many people in the mental health ward.?

    Take note the herb is the answer in these times, it’s a medical silverbullet to the torment we live in here.

    It could get worst to the extent folks start acting out frustration and burning the place up!
