someone just posted about that. If you look through the posts, you'll see it.

I am so sorry, I could have swore it was on this board that we talked about MJ and migraines and now I can't find it. I thought it was here and maybe it was on another D.S. board because people bring up their migraines on various boards.

If I even get around anyone smoking pot, I get a horrific migraine, that is the "go to the Hospital E.R." type of migraine, so I never tried it.

I understand that there is a type of pot that does NOT have the capabilities of getting high, so if your doctor is looking into MJ, you may want to look into that particular type of pot. Otherwise, you may find yourself unable to drive, perhaps unable to be in an office to work because you would be considered "under the influence" and police can pull you over and ticket you and take you to jail. It's like if you took a sleeping pill and then were out driving and not driving well, deemed under the influence, you get ticketed and taken to jail.

My doctor suggested it also. Sometimes, maybe half the time I try it, it's amazingly effective. Sometimes it can make my headache worse. Probably if I lived in a state where medical marijuana were available it would make a huge difference. Buying off the street is like sending someone to get you "an alcoholic beverage"....you have little or no control over what you're getting. I hate the "high" feeling and I won't do it if I have to drive or deal with anyone else that day.

Hi, AsTimeGoesBy - you were right - there was a previous discussion on this board on 3/27/13 - just do a search for "Mary Jane".

RONOMAHANE, I hope you get the info you're looking for.

Take care.

Medical marijuana helps quite a bit for me, but it only helps for about an hour or two and makes me totally not able to do anything else but sleep or lay on the couch and eat a ton of munchies, so I now only use it at night. I know people who swear by it and are able to function on it, but unfortunately I cannot function while high.

When I was a youngster, I smoked pot a few times. It gave me an instant migraine. I know for some it helps. You just don't know until you try it.

Ronomahane,
I am 69 years old. For the last two years I have been using cannibas and it ALWAYS has a very good effect relieving my migraine.

My friend suggested I try it so I went and got a Medical Marijuana Card.
The doctor who examined me said I should EAT it rather than smoke it for my Migraines.
I ate some of a pot cookie and just after 2 bites, I was REALLY STONED AND HYPER! I was so hyper I ran around and did a lot of projects! It did NOT make me tired at all! Just the opposite!

Here is my question?

Was it the POT THAT TOOK AWAY MY MIGRAINE PAIN?
OR,
WAS I TOO HIGH TO REMEMBER I HAD A HEADACHE IN THE FIRST PLACE BECAUSE I WAS SO BUSY DOING DIFFERENT THINGS?

It definitely DISTRACTED ME FROM MY PAIN!

I hope you understand what I am saying?

All and all, I DID NOT LIKE BEING SO HIGH!
I thought it would RELAX me but it acted like SPEED!

P.S.
I ACCOMPLISHED SO MANY THINGS (too many things), MY LOWER BACK HURT THE NEXT DAY - LOL!

Ecca, when I tried it (got my card in Oregon) it didn't actually make the pain go away. What it did was distract me from the pain, kind of putting the pain in a different place, if that makes sense. That could be what happened to you. I didn't like the feeling of not being in control and it was hard to regulate my dosage (I was using a vaporizer). I guess it worked, but it was too unpredictable for me. I never got the "speed" effect, unfortunately.

Ecca, I get that busy, hyper feeling too. But it's a good thing because I've been inactive for a long time with migraines. Biggest problem right now is that the stuff is not readily available to me here in FL. AsTimeGoesB....we may have had this discussion before, in fact a lot of the discussions on here are repetitive, like people asking about Topamax. But that's life.....the migraines are repetitive too. The last ten years of my life have been one after the other. Shoot me if you wish, just please, make it fatal.

I tried it but it caused my asthma to flare up really badly. Not a good side effect. So I stopped.
