personality

Default Just a thought

I have had a few friends who live in "legal" states and have tried it with permission from their pain doc and experienced actual increase with some nerve pains. The doc said that was not uncommon. So much for the magical, mystical silver bullet.

My intention is to ask my primary care physician to prescribe it for me. Parkinson's Disease is listed as an "allowable" condition. My concern is that I have not smoked cigarettes in 10 years and hope MM will not trigger a craving for smoking again. I'm someone who loved smoking (40 years) and happy to be no longer addicted because of the insane price of cigarettes.

Actually my state voted to legalize marijuana, not just MM. It will be legal to purchase and smoke it here, but not legal if you cross the state's borders.

CBD, another chemical in cannabis, is very good for nerve pain.
But in general, cannabis has many advantages, but everybody handles it differently. I don't have to take benzos or anti-anythings because pot eases my mind. I still take pain meds, but low doses. If the quality of cannabis is good (I live in northern Ca) it makes a difference.

Parkinson's would be a perfect candidate. In Ca it is basically what helps the patient. Anxiety, to spark hunger, for pain, PTSD ect. Just as long as the physician agrees and writes the perscription.

I have been using MM about six weeks now. I am happy that it has not triggered a desire to smoke cigarettes again. I'm not sure how it's helped the Parkinson's but some other discomforts such as upper arm pain is greatly reduced.

Since I was not familiar with using marijuana, it took me a little bit to learn how to best use it. I ended up finally with a vaporizer and that did the trick for me.
