where do you get the pill and what is it called

Marinol is probably the best known. It is available by prescription only, and only for very specific conditions.

Sativex is a sublingual spray that has been approved in Canada, UK and others.

See: Pharmacologic THC and THC derivatives

I've been a "medical marijuana" user for the past 10 months. Since I quite drinking, marijuana is an excellent stress reducer and I feel much better for you than alcohol. I find marijuana to not have any contraindication with the Effexor and Mirapex that I am taking.
Good luck and happy high.....

I happy to hear is helps you
I however don't get that high that I
am aware of and have experienced it
Legal here in N.J. but in the manner it is
written for it to be difficult to obtain
It does help no doubt
All my doctors are informed
None have an issue rather
helpful sharing


Someone who cares

I have a strong opinion about this. I am allowed Morphine, percocet, but not MJ? Now really, which drugs would cause the most damage?. I can't die from MJ and it may even help. However in my state is it not allowed. So, I involved myself with the legislation in this state, getting some petitions going. I am 61 and feel I most likely will be dead before it is approved in this state. Maybe for future progress this fight must go on. I would try this if it were legal and see for myself if it did me any good. Micro managing of our lives is getting pretty scary.
I'm a big girl now, and would make a choice based on my own experience. I have questioned my doctors, neither would approve of a script even if it was legal. There is a long way to go on this subject. Many many medications are derived from plants, so what is the beef with this one? Is it all about money and who gets it? I think that is part of the issue. Tax it and national debt would go right out the window! ginnie

I think at least some, if not most, might change their answers after it became a legal medical option. It depends partly on their personal politics and partly on keeping their opinions private in a hostile environment.

Indubitably. It is perplexing, and while attitudes are changing as Boomers age, some changes take more time than others. According to my former college professors, societal change takes (on average) a generation (~30 years) to substantially realize. Of course some (like racism) take longer, and others take less. IMO organized activism makes a huge difference.

Now that 2 states have legalized marijuana, undoubtedly more will follow.

I just hope that this issue gets onto a ballot. I wish this would happen in my lifetime, so that I have an opportunity to determine what is good for me. I think if a tomato plant showed some properties that the Gov. didn't like, they would make those against the law too!ginnie
