It helps me want to live. Need i say more?

Thank you, thank you, thank you! I often ponder my life, such as it is, and really don't want to be doing this for 1, 5, 10, 20 or more years.

I would use it if it were legally!!!!!! It would be better than the crap the drs give us!!!

IT REALLY HELPS!!! It needs to be legal in all 50 states! The only natural pain med out there, & it is still not available to those in need.

Hi!...Glad to see some like minded people who know the benefits of MMJ...It certainly helps me with my pain and sleeping issues...I am fortunate that my GP agrees, and has been very supportive and signed my Health Canada papers to allow me to be a liscenced user...this plant is amazing, and highly underrated by the powers that be...and by most people.
I have become a mmj advocate, and hope to see it legalized and restricted the same as alcohol...

You don't need to get high for it to help the pain. I take one or two hits, it doesn't really make me feel high, but it does make me feel better.

It will definately help with the pain. I will admit that I use it occationally on the tough days. It is not legal in my state, but it is decriminalized. Its also easier and sometimes cheaper to get than meds. It helps to get restful sleep too. People like us who have chronic pain, and especially people undergoing cancer treatment should have the right to do whatever they need to to combat the pain, nausea and exhaustion that plauge us daily. You have no reason to feel guilty, just take it easy.

Just for the record, I agree with Jane that it should be legalized and regulated like alcohol, but I just dont see that happening.

Hope you get some relief.

I agree with bigmike2271 and the it's not legal in my state too. However, it sure does help with the pain and helps me to eat. The biggest problem is if it is in your system your pain specilist can refuse you further care and stop all your meds I too get so sick of all the meds they give to suppose to help I don't know how many times I flushed my meds only to realize I'm not able to deal with all the pain on my own. I too feel it should be legal to those in need the only reason it's not is because were not making the system rich from all the meds.

It is legal here in California and I believe it should be made legal federally. Alcohol is so much more harmful than marijuana. I use on occasion, and it does help with the pain and stiffness and helps greatly with my sleep issues. The dispensaries here in CA supply it in many forms, if you do not want to smoke, you can buy brownies, cookies, candy bars, peanut butter cups, etc.

Thank you everyone for your comments. I am considering making an appointment tomorrow, because I want to try something natural.

WebMD has an article that says one puff 3x a day can help with fibro pain. If I decide to go through with it, I will definitely share the results.

For those of you in CA, do you have any idea how it affects drugs screenings such as pre employments ones, if you have a medical maijuana card?

Its a life saver for me. It takes the edge off that the pills leave behind. I dont feel as stiff and I get a lot more done thru the day verses laying on the sofa crying in pain.

I am also thinking about trying this. I have children so I am hesitant. I think of how tired I am already and am afraid it would just make me more tired. Also, I worry about driving. I live in Ca. but do not know all the ins and outs of the law. I need to do some more research.

i too advocate the use of marijuana for our pain. The trouble is it is not legal in my state and the doctors here pull these little surprise urine tests. Recently all patients had to sign a paper saying we would take their tests at any time they requested, includiing calling us in between visits. I told my doctor that i also smoked mj and she asked why. when i told her it really helped with the pain, she just rolled her eyes. this really needs to be made available to everyone with pain, nausea, and other ailments. but until it is legal in your state, (and according to some things i have been reading lately) even if it is legal in your state, you could risk losing your doctor. (The penalty for failing your drug test is that they can dismiss you as their patient) what we need to do is call our congressmen and tell them this is what we want, although it may fall on deaf, uncaring ears. in the meantime, know that there are risks

It really helps with the stiffness, and you only need a few puffs, you don't have to get high.

It helps me, especially to sleep. I prefer to use fresh herb and an electric vapourizer to just get the THC and not the tar. It is not exactly legal in British Columbia, Canada but to date decriminalized and legal on RX. The government is foolishly trying to make it a criminal offence again. It is obvious that they want the control & $$ of it. My doctor will not even consider this type of treatment but quickly offers up some very dangerous and harmful chemical solutions. I have access for my needs alternatively and will try to get a medical MJ licence in the next year. For goodness sakes, I'm past 60 yrs. old and know my body and what's best for me by now.
