Eating it? Ive never heard of that but have heard of suckers that have marij. in them. Its hard at least around here to get a doc to prescribe anything like this.

well, it's illegal here in south carolina, but i seek out whatever works, regardless of what the gov't thinks about it. they have no idea how i feel. i'm curious to know about those suckers though.

by the way, when it's eaten it's usually in some other food, like mixed into brownie batter before baking, or sprinkled on top of pizza.

I have a friend that is prescribed the medical dose and says that she takes the pills.. eating it only if baked works such as "brownies"!
The reason this works for fibro is: it intercepts the brain responses and halts the signals they send to your body forcing you to feel pain levels that are intensified ...
Depending on where you live, legalization may never happen .. it cant be taxed so therefore it wont be legal for the majority of the world...
check your state laws and see about the pill form prescription ?
I do know that it does help....
But where I live which is S.C. when you are administered narcotics.. legally you are drug tested at their leisure and if you test positive for marijuana you will be cut off ...
so you have to consider which helps more because in S.C. you cant do both ...
much love and respect!

I added to the other post and just don't have the energy to repeat it all. check it.

I smoke it. In IL or at least on my end of the state they don't test you for it at doctors to get your scripts.According to Social Security if you are busted with it you will not loose benefits longer than 2 months as long as its kept as misdemeanor offense which in IL is under 1 ounce.

I aint gonna appologize to anyone for smoking it. Its the only thing that helps some days.

I would trust that before i would trust alot of the man made chemicals they are shoveing down our throats...I do not smoke it...have tried it and gave me sever headaches...but did slip some into my moms tea...and managed to fet 22 pounds back on her starving body...No, she had no idea i was doing it...but she would not eat...she was dying...and I just could not sit and watch her go that way...no apologies here either.

I never would have thought of giving it as a way to add wieght but it makes sense, Your mom had the muchies. Beautiful.

I haven't tried smoking or eating it, but I did see a program on public tv or discovery channel about med pot. In California they have storefront that sell it. They interviewed a doctor who would prescribe it for foot pian from wearing high heeled shoes. His answer was, how do I know what kind os pain they're in and that this isn't the only thing that will help. Let's go to California.

It's best to eat it rather than smoke it, as the only danger of moderate use is the smoke damage. Eating it makes it take longer to work, but it poses no risk to your lungs that way.

Marijuana is less dangerous than aspirin, actually. The only real danger comes from smoke, or the dangers involved in buying it and risking trouble with the law.

Always remember that nothing is inherently evil, it is the person who uses it that determines that. A gun can save a life, or end one. Marijuana can relieve pain and depression, or destroy a life.

I won't encourage anyone to use it, but I never look down on those who use it for legit reasons. BTW, I have used it a long time ago, and found it to be more effective than percocet, and it had no side effects.
