[Grownincali420]

lets just say it helps me with LIFE!

i wake up in the morning and feel like crap and want to go back to sleep..i fire one up and i dont even care that i have to go to work.just out the door with a smile on my face.

 

[Grownincali420]

i have ailments and theyve been posted on earlier pages but i thought id throw the most imprortant one out there.

herb gives me the motivation to do the things im dreading the most.

 

[mastersativa]

Its better than prozac, and helps me with the migranes also.

Constant back pain, growing up a southern boy can take it out of you early, and insomnia. Smoke a bowl of some sativa diva, go do my work, my back doesn't bother me at all, not to mention it feels like it only took me 20 minutes to get it all done. Smoke an indica before bed and I'm out like a light. Wake up early the next morning and feel great. No side effects. It's the best way. My doc got me started. I just wish there was mmj in my state so I wouldn't have to do all the under the table stuff.

I take it for my Chronic Back pain...I have insomnia,it helps with it,but thats not why I got it,lol

I was diagnosed with chronic prostatitis at the age of 15, went to specialists, had the ol camera down my snake *ahem*.. went on several different medicines, even some new state of the art ones. Micro antibiotics, Detrol LA, and a few others did absolutely nothing.. Its hard to get medicine to the prostate i guess.. anyway when i was 17 i smoked my first bowl and man.. i was peein' like a child again.. so i find marijuana has strong anti-inflammatory properties so naturally it seems to be my only effective treatment.

 

[powhitetrashomie]

I have several medical conditions for which bud works better than anything else I've been prescribed. A torn rotater cuff, two bad disks in my lower back which cause sciatica pain, anxiety, migranes... My youngest son uses it for his severe TMJ and chronic migranes. He says it really helps with his ADHD as well. We're not legal users yet, working on it.

Recently discovered vaporization and will never go back to smoking.

I never really talk too much about it,
But lately I think that others might be helped when they see that they are not alone.
I contracted Hep C in the military, and am now looking at a liver transplant since I am end stage. I am an insulin dependant diabetic. I take a chemical pacemaker for the pvc's that I throw, I have high blood pressure from portal tension, and I suffer from a thing called varices brought on by the high blood pressure from portal tension. I saw seven surgeries for it last year.
My body doesn't want to do as I instruct it to do any more, mostly cause I beat the crapola out of it all my life. I understand pain very well as I am either allergic to the pain meds, or simply cannot tolerate them. If I go to get some stitches put in, there is nothing to do but grin and bear it ya know ?
The Doctors said I had 3 to 5 years left, and I have beat that 5 year mark by 4 years now. So it's been nine years ago that he gave me up for dead, HA !! I don't think so. I even failed with the treatment for HepC, my numbers sky rocketed, and the interferon was cancelled.
I almost gave it all up when I went through chemo for cancer, but my Gastro said I might want to try rollin some and smoking it, he even said this in front of my wife. I had stopped for a long while as I was a pilot, but seeing as how I was medically retired, and the Doc giving me the long frown as well as the question mark over my head, I went back to smokin.
I know religion like politics isn't really allowed here, but I gotta say thank you God for the MJ you created. It has given me so much of my life back, and I have once again become the loving man that I was. I can endure and laugh again, and that my friends is priceless.

PS. The big C (cancer), and the chemo? I kicked it in the azimuth, I'm a winner, not a loser

I'm a medical marijuana user and activist, who supports many sick people who use it for many different reasons.
Working at our Compassion center we have over 2000 members,who are all sick and use marijuana in different ways. Being a volunteer makes all of us members as well. My sickness is Multiple sclerosis, Which causes Anxiety,pain,stress,depression and sometimes I can't walk.

I smoke over 10 grams a day. About 60% of that is a strong Indica-This reduces pain, muscle relaxant, aids sleep, reduces anxiety and stress
The other 40% is a Sativa- This reduces nausea,fights depression, energizes but most of all muscle spasms.
I'm so happy that Marijuana makes my life easier!

[docfishwrinkle]

i live in a non mmj state, which will be on ballot in nov.:woohoo: i use to relieve constant pain & stiffness in lower back, shoulders, & neck. was in life threating auto accident 17 yrs ago when was teen. had numberous internal injuries that the doc fixed just fine, but chiropractor, doctor, & i come to conclusion that even its been years since-that the lap belt on rear seat of chevette that hit 4' dia. oak tree @ 65 mph is probably the reason for back problems. i haven't been useing for 8 wks b/c trying to get new job & license back (dwi). being 2 months no smoke i constantly have stiff sore neck to where can hardly turn head from side to side. chiro helps but only for a day & vicodin, darvoset, & any other narc just slinks me out & gives me the "itch". im going insane, but have nice grow going so when get life back (DL) ill be jus fine again.:smoke1:

 

[Kupunakane]

Yo Ho docfishwrinkle,
Man am I glad that you mentioned the itch. You know how the Dr's like to experiment with ya ? well every now and then they think that they have found something that will offer pain relief. That is when I get the itch, and it can really drive a person bonkers. Do they have another cure for the itch ? no.
I really don't care for all the bunny trails the doc's take you down, so I just took over my life, and by God I make the decisions now.

Good Luck Dude

I use it because it's better then Alcohol! We all need a vice right?

But seriously, been burning along time. I got my first medical card in Feb' 97 from Dennis Peron himself and the first club in SF. Wow, what crazy thing, a store that sells smoke. I have seen alot of seriously ill folks in alot of different clubs that are very thankful about MMJ. But I also see alot of regular folks using thier rights and getting Dr. recommendations too. It's great.

I've had 3 lower back surgeries from snowboarding back in the day. It does help when that sciatica starts being a pain.

I'm a third year Registered Medical Marijuana Patient and CareGiver. Herb takes the edge off of what's left over after the Rx do their things. I have Guillain Bare' Syndrome and Diabetes Type 1. I take 38 pills and 5 shots of insulin just to be able to see the next day. Have taken over 7000 shots already. Disabled and retired at 54. At least I get early Medicare coverage. My meds run over $2000.00 a month. Thank God for herb because I'm in pain every day since July 2004. Have a nice grow goin' on, may share it later.

Peace

 

[lyfr]

a/c seperation r/shoulder, torn rotator cuff l/shoulder, tendenitis wrists, but i have nothing compared to most patients. pills make my stomach sick and zombie me out. been smokin before injury, if everything magically heals i'll still be smokin. i have a card, for pain, primary doc knows/agrees, but i do not put myself above others. i think everyone has a right to smoke...even if the only reason is "it like gets me really stoned and stuff." like i said, id be smokin if if i felt perfect 24/7!

 

[tcooper1]
