It's amazing how family views change when a member, especially a darling son or daughter, is diagnosed with something like Multiple Sclerosis.

My conservative parents both 100% support the idea of marijuana for pain relief versus pumping the body full of say, opiates. I can sure tell you they are not impressed about me taking a benzodiazepine currently... but it's the only thing that has been somewhat tolerable. Even then, I'm noticing it does cause some side effects, and don't even get me started on dependency...

Sativax would be one to look into for sure! I wonder if my drug plan covers it
