Yes, i've tried it -- the only thing it did for me was relax me a LITTLE. It did NOT take away any pain. I still hurt like #$%$ !!! It just wasn't worth it to me. Not only that, but my doc said that he would take away ALL my meds too if I continued on the marijuana. Heck no!! It didn't work well enough to get rid of the meds - I still need them so that I can WALK!

I wish it had worked. I HATE taking meds. Best of luck. Hugs, Lee
