It's nice reading that I'm not alone!!! Thanks for the comments everyone. Perhaps the medical stuff isn't quite the same as what's available on the street??? Never having used pot or any illegal drugs, I'd be afraid to try something unknown. Back in the dark ages when I was in high school/college, the "daring" thing to do was smoke a regular cigarette and have a beer! Knowing how I used to be, I probably would have tried mj if it was around! A couple friends have offered to "get me something", but I'm not comfortable with that route.

Isn't one medical version, sativex, a spray? Inhaling like a regular cigarette must not be good for the lungs. I think another one is a pill?

The past couple days here in PA have been beautiful with no snow/rain and it makes such a difference! The pain level is lower and my mood is so much brighter when the sun is shining! If there was something to make me, and others, feel this way most of the time........I'm all for it!!
