When is this going to be open and accepted as needed? When is Medical use going to be REALLY allowed? My wife suffers from chronic pain at 30 years of age and has since she was 18. We are just now finaly getting her diagnosed. Right now they have it narrowed down to a few things and the most major one being severe ruhmatoid arthritis. She used to be a dancer (yes, THAT kind of dancer) and made thousands of dollars a night. Now, retired for the last 6 years because there are days she can't even get out of bed. We have a very cool understanding doctor and even though we are in a medical marijuana state, he advises that she uses it, but feels uncomfortable perscribing it. She now takes Dilaudid which is a very strong opiate for her pain. It is highly addictive and very expensive, yet it's legal. It knocks her on her butt too. Stronger than any weed she has ever smoked, and guess what, it also makes her sick enough to where she needs several other drugs just so she can eat. She also has to take other drugs to keep her from being constipated from the opiate. Wow, really? When all she used to have to do was enjoy a little herb?*
For the love of GAWD, let's get this accepted as a useful medicine, for REAL.
*Yes, she does use the marijuana for help still. It's gotten to the point to where she HAS to.
