I don't know if you read the "How to Handle" thread - but sounds like Chrissy is in somewhat the same situation.
Mrs. D made the suggestion that the MJ can magnify the effect of the MS, thus putting you at risk for slower/lower respiration (risk of death) - docs may cite that as a defense.
Sadlly, the abuse of pain medication by those who use it as a "high" has made it tougher and tougher for those of us who need the meds and take dosages as directed to be able to obtain the drugs.
I was warned a couple of weeks ago that here in FL, a new law is going into effect that will make the process more stringent and lengthy. As it is, I must physically see my doc once every 3 months in his office and pick up my methadone prescription monthly. I guess it is going to something like a monthly office visit with urine testing, and some other rigamarole.
Good luck with your fight.
