So I would conclude that MM didn't help with my pain enough to make it worthwhile. It is also expensive. Down here I believe you have to pay $250 annually to stay registered. A little jar, maybe 3 0z of honey mixed with MM is alot. It is unfortunate it is still not accepted by the majority of medical community because in many cases it would help.

Hi Libra - My Moon is in Libra...
I'm not sure what you mean. MM with no buzz? Eghads!! It is expensive and probably less expensive to bake it or make it into butter or whatever yourself. Do you have access to a wide variety of strains(question mark). Do you have tremors (question mark). Cause with regular use it helps me get periods of no shaking, something no other med has done. $250!! Yikes...
Was it hard to get your Dr to sign (question mark). Although I am legal (MMAR) and can smoke in public, to join a medical marijuana club all you need here is a confirmation from DR that you have an ailment. This is just access to your medical records, it is not the Dr prescribing it. To be legal you need a Dr to prescribe it and confirm that a specialist knows, and that nothing else has been effective.
It is expensive but I would like to grow it eventually, when I have the proper place. I am now waiting for a new court decision (only 1 patient per grower overturned) to be implemented and soon will get it free through a collective. Up here growers are willing to provide it if you are licensed, just to be your legal grower.
Yes, it`s ridiculous how many Drs still demonize MM and try to say its dangerous. They refuse to even look at recent scientific research, all positive. And half the meds have terrible side effects and arent effective. There no big money in MM as it`s actually cheap to grow, so the pharmas have no interest, likewise Drs. I think too often university gets in the way of an education.
