As I was saying to SandyC, my pharmacist friend has a location lined up and a grower in place. This was based on AZ passing MMJ, which it did by a very narrow margin. It had passed twice before but now, it is the real deal.

So I am going to get a script and try to render the THC and start cooking. My goal is to find a way to mask the taste and make the cookie/whatever taste good. Maybe I can sell them to her for distribution. Maybe a money maker and doing a good thing for those in need.

Only problem - taste testing!

Took 2/3 of half the 600 gm pills I have =@ 200 grams. Scientist BIL here, ground it up, got correct amount but then we (me) found out it does not mix in liquid, tastes awful in my little cranberry drink and biting it, downing it with water works better. It was better this morning, but still felt drug hung-over this morning for awhile. DH can get some "medicinal MJ from cancer-patient grandma of a client so told him to try. The grandma works to distribute it to those who need it.

Gabapentin or Neurontin
 
I was prescribed Neurontin or Gabapentin and twice I had a build-up in my body and overdosed. Landed in the hospital for 3 days each time this happened.

The first time my dosage of Neurontin or Gabapentin was cut in half. The second time I overdosed I was taken off Neurontin, Klonopin (addicting like Valium, etc.) and Tramadol.

I went through withdrawal and the overdose for 3 days. I couldn't tell my hallucinations from reality. I was told by my doctors Neurontin travels by your nerves and MS affects your nerves thus the build-up then overdose.

I do not agree with giving Neurontin or Gabapentin to MS patients. It's a new drug and too has side effects of different types of cancer I recently found out.

I see my neuro in December and I would like to share my experience w/him (Neurontin or Gabapentin) and too tell him I learned different manufacturers of Baclofen make you extremely tired (all you need to do is ask your pharmacist to switch Baclofen manufacturers).

Take care.

in the Spring when I can get a MMJ card. I am hoping to eliminate Requip and Baclofen to substitute MMJ when needed. Would rather use an herb than a drug.

Should be an interesting adventure. If it does not work, I can always go back to the drug.

Good thing about being older, doctors don't intimidate me. I know how to work them.:)
