Chronic Lower Back Pain

[terky]

I have had back pain since High School likely caused by crashing a dirtbike or something of that nature. Anyways i went to the Doc today and he gave me a referral for physical therapy. He said "The pain will never go away but we can try to make it better."

Does this qualify me for MJ? I am in my early 20s in WA state

I know I need a little more history than 1 day but maybe in a year could I get a card?

Go to the NORML website to start reading info on all the laws in wa. st., know what your getting into before you jump in! Like brother smoke said talk to yer doctor or the next one. DR.PYRO had the same problem with my back, tell your docs to look in the lower lumbar region, l-4,l-5,area, magnetic mri showed nothing,. When i lost use of my left leg and they went in thats where they found out what was wrong. Cronic back pain doesn't go away BUT we can live a normal life and enjoy things like them other people. Physical therapy, some scrips, the ones that actually help and Medical Cannnabis, Yes medical marijuana are all needed fer us to maintain a quality of life that we see other people live! Good luck on your search and green thoughts be with ya! If you have documented proof that you have had problems with your back in the past it will make it much easier, dont know how much, to get a recommendation from your doc(s). Be safe and be carefull.- The Chef
