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. |

After nearly 4 years of post- surgical pain following a 9 level spinal fusion I finally decided to try MM for the pain. I've never smoked anything before and my lungs were definitely unprepared. I coughed violently for hours after only a few puffs. Wasn't worth it. I also tried lozenges and tincture - nothing. Not even a "high."
Then recently I was in such pain I was willing to try again. This time it definitely helped but I was so stoned I was worthless. I had to go to bed to keep the word from tilting. Again, only a few puffs. If you try, try it more than once. It was the 5th try before I got relief. |

You can get MM in pill form; you might find that's better for you. Also my doctor warned me MM edibles are stronger than other forms of use. I tried a brownie, at first felt nothing...but then it hit me. Was very pricey but I wanted to try it once. I'm a sweet lover so maybe it's a good thing it costs too much cause that brownie was good tasting.
Also...I am still learning....different strains of marijuana give different results. Some are better suited to relieve pain or anxiety, energy, etc. I reallywish I knew about marijuana years ago when I used to suffer panic attacks. There wasn't a lot of help available years ago and the only option was hypnosis. That helped some but when I finally started on amitriptyline, that got me the relief I needed. I've been on that med for 30 years and thankful every day for the relief it gives me. |
