isnt pot illegal companion
i’m not really sure what yer question is,. . but if yer asking is you should smoke pot to ease yer pain, i say for sure, it has proven medical uses, i bet if you get trapped with it a judge would be sympathetic and would give you a fine at the most. . .i say, if it helps, use it // excellent luck
I am sorry you are suffering so much. I say you do what you have to do to feel better. No one should hurt every day – it just isn’t honest. I wish I had something to say to help you….
That sounds like alot of pain to b goin through! I say if pot helps do it!
fun fact: in cali, marijuana is really classified as a downer, even though it is not an opium derivative. with election coming up in 2008, i believe we should all petition to a candidate hopeful to legalize it, and solve this problem for other states. most may argue this, but marijuana IS ADDICTIVE. but, most narcotics are much more addictive. at the same time, most narcotics can be prescribed with consent in all states, not every state can say the same about that sticky icky…so my answer is….what huge bro don’t know, don’t hurt ‘em…spark it up. don’t know what to tell you about the taste, eat food to get rid of it, mouth wash and brushing just make the taste worse directly after…….not that i know
I know what suffering is all about. I have chronic psorasis. All I do is itch. Scratching doesn’t help. It really makes it worse. Question your doctor about medical marijuana. I reckon there may even be a thc pill. Question It will never hurt.
sory you are in so so much pain,but pot will as does tend to relax the body.tell your doctor af your situation first.There are legal pot stores,but your dr. has to fill out these forms,there is a pill called MARINOL,cotains thc,tis pill comes in 5,10,25mg,but can only be given to fr. a docters presciption!!I..I too deal inpain from an injury and I do both,my family doctor gave me my perscription,all pain tablets is addictive and over time it does not work,then dosages have to be increased or tablets has to be changed also tablets can cause stomach problems and you sound like you have enough problems with out adding to them,excellent luck to you!!!
I feel absolutely horrible for you…no one should be in continuous pain. I’m not sure what your question is, but, whatever it takes to ease your pain, I say, go for it.
I just did a Yahoo search and came up with a truck load of pain clinics…I found laser, acupuncture and some by area and there were various options. If your Doctors can’t come up with anything more than an electric wheelchair do your own research. Just search for pain clinics, that alone will lead to all kinds of options.
I truly prey you find something helpful
you know, i just answered a dif question of yours and now saw this one. I say smoke the damn pot. It’s excellent for you. At smallest amount when it comes down to what everything’s made from, pot’s mother natures gift to earth. All natural. Pills have all kinds of side effects and why take them if they don’t help?? Screw it.. smoke the mary. it’s probably cheaper anyways. And about the taste, don’t eat afterwards… it’ll make the effects go away quicker. seriously. I know. It gives you the muchies so the best thing to do is eat first, get you a excellent beverage, and smoke the pot, and take drinks inbetween.
If pot helps I sugjest you question your doctor for THC tablets, the smoking of pot constricts the blood vessels and limits the flow of oxygen to your small blood vessels, plus thier is tar and cabon monoxide in the smoke and it’s an iratant to the lungs and nervous system, all drugs are unhealthy pot is no differnert it may make you fell ok for now and in some small times but what happens when you start having to use more to get the same effect? you use more and cause more hurt, plus you don’t know what the pot is laced with, no w you could smoke hash it’s more potent and taks less but it stil hurts the body, and quicker or shortly you wil have to deal with addiction, don’t beliee there is no addiction on pot just question anyone whos smokd it for a couple of years ad se how mean they can get, even robbing freinds a gun point to get it. question your doctor and try rotating different drugs. but I have a question , do you eat meat? do you drink milk? I have known public who did and that was their problem because some chemicals in meat and eggs and milk wil cause the problems you are describing. Also a lack of some ameio acids like glico nutrutions and other dietary problems that your doctors may not be aware of. I hope this opens you up to some ideals to question questions from your doctor or find a doctor who has informatio on these types of answers, most problems are do to a lack of or to much of some substance that they are not aware of thats why the call it practicing medicine.
MArinol, the synthetic THC pill, works quite well. I take it for nausea sometimes. It doesn’t make you stoned, but relaxes your muscles, stimulates your inclination, and relieves nausea. The person who mentioned it before was incorrect on dosages, it comes in 5, 10, and 20 mgs, not 25. Question your pain doc about it. When I take it with my regular pain meds (Oxycontin and Oxy IR) it also bumps up their effects. It’s expensive because there is no generic, but it really works and doesn’t make you high in the same way pot does. If you need an ear to bend, a name who understands and is in the same boat, feel free to e-mail me. I wsh you luck.
try nurofen plus from their website http://www.nurofenplus.com it’s got 12.8mg codeine & 200mg of ibuprofen. It’s really cheap to buy and I haven’t had an issue with it. They also have a really excellent shipping guarantee where they will guarantee that they get it through customs.
I cant use either
Much pain is from muscles below is an example of what may help (based on headaches).
Start with a couple swigs of molasses or a couple of bananas daily – magnesium (which regulates many things in the body) and potassium (a needed building block for muscles).
Drink at smallest amount 1/2 gallons of water per day. In succession a body low on water is like in succession a car low on oil is the analogy the head of neurology at UCDavis told my husband about 10 years ago.
Now to the cause – muscles – your back, neck shoulders and head have tender spots. They are knots in the fibers of the muscles called trigger points. It makes the muscles tight which makes them push on nerves and other things causing the pain.
The cure – start with a professional massage, you will also want to go back over any place you can get to 6-12 times per session up to 6 times per day rubbing (or lightly scratching on your head) every where that is tender in anticipation of the knots go away. The place where the skull connects to the spine push up under the edge of the skull (to get to those muscles).
