Something I rarely hear about when talking about using MJ for medical reasons is about how your own "perception" of using weed has alot to do with how it affects you. If you are heavy anti weed before, you are probably not going to have a good result. You know, the old silly guilt thing.
My daughter & SIL used to try to get me to use MJ for pain for a couple of years & I wouldn't because I'm an old recovered addict from
way back. So, even though I believe MJ should be legal & have no qualms about anybody else using it, I didn't think it was for me. Too many negatives associated. But, I tried it eventually & it did relieve the pain. Unfortunately, it also made me feel like some old, stoned, loser & that depressed me. I don't need to be fighting depression anymore than I already do, so that was it for me.
I like Greta's idea. Biofeedback is
really cool & helped me. Acupuncture does amazing things too but it's temporary. It's great if you can afford to go weekly.
For what it's worth, I don't think you'll know if it does or doesn't work until you've tried it. I never really worried about getting caught with, I figured I could use my sweet little ole lady thing to get out of trouble.
Hope you find something that helps & soon!
