I'm so glad you got your neuro appointment bumped up. I hope you'll let us know how it went. I'm sorry you're in so much discomfort, and I appreciate your humorous attitude. I hope you're getting some answers.

After three years and getting my neuro meds bumped up to where I can't stand the side effects (and I still have plenty of pain anyway), I've now just spoken with my neurologist about a medical MJ card. He said he'll sign for it, and I shouldn't pay one of the clinics the 300 bucks they charge, so I'm going to take him the papers tomorrow.

Even though I grew up and went to college in California, I've never used cannabis (and I'm a bit nervous about it). You characterized rightly the way one side worships and the other side demonizes the drug, and there's not much useful information in-between. Your inquiry, though, brought a little useful information in this thread. I'll watch my BP if I go this route.

Interesting info is coming out about CBD -- a canniboid that seems to be under-produced by the MJ's that are bred to produce large amounts of THC. CBD isn't psychoactive, or if it is, it tends to counteract THC, and it has anti-cancer, immune-support, and even neuro-protective properties. More info at the washington post (http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn...103231_pf.html).

Good luck on your journey.
