Default Medical Marijuana - touchy

I know there are many conflicting arguments out there for this topic.

I figured Id bring this subject up as I was suggested it today by my GP.


Right now im having almost a 5 hour headache every day, plus tingling/pain in my feet and fingertips. My GP is calling it myalgia. He gave me valium for this, and i told him i didnt want any more pills. I also complained about insomnia the prednisone is causing and i cant get off it right now.


Then he suggested medical marijuana. There are different strains that help just for sleeping, and those for more 'functional' high. I know some people with MG think that this would hurt their breathing/make them worse and I think maybe it has a different effect on anyone. But I think i might try it if the insomina/pain due to constant weakness/headaches dont go away. You dont even need to smoke it, they have edibles, vaporizors, etc.


What are peoples thoughts on this?
