Actually it was my neurologist who inquired if I'd tried marijuana. I was so desperate for sleep and something to fix those foot cramps that I went right out and got my official medical recommendation. I found a dispensary and I must say that the person I spoke with there was very professional, compassionate and helpful. It was a very clean, doctor's office kind of atmosphere located in an office building in a decent part of town. I felt quite safe going in there.
When I explained that I am a non-smoker, they recommended a liquid form of marijuana. It works very well. I know that this isn't curing anything. It's just one small medicine that eases a couple of symptoms. When you have PD, any relief is a huge blessing.
Why do sick people have to beg for a medicine that helps them? Shall I sit on a street corner with a tin cup? At whose foot do I need to grovel?

medicinal use of plants should be sacred in society inmho and if they help us to FEEL better than we journey towards wholeness and isn't that what we are afterr anyway?

why, as a culture are we afraid to acknowledge the value of consciousness shifts triggered by MM? of course the pain annd anxiety relief are infinitely valuable but lets not tiptoe around he unifying and enlightening effects too lest we are scorned by those who think they know better yet never having experienced it. anything can be abused...moderation is my motto! seems like the MM clinics that offer advice and counseling are so very useful in guiding us towards wise and beneficial use.
I'm grateful for the perceptual shifts i've experience from pot - they came with a cost tho as i also became less productive. this may not have happened had i had the benefit of counsel from the very clinics that are being dismantled....one step forward -two steps back....
time to occupy a garden madamelash!!

Default agree

i don't smoke marijiuana anymore because i don't have a source. Moderation is, I agree the only way to go with smoking it. i don't have a problem with a high personality and a regular personality. The point is to relax....put aside the heaviness of life, create pain free moments in time during a most difficult life that we share. It borders on ridiculous that the culture in which we live condemns a plant but condones so many chemicals in all aspects of our life.

if i had a source i'd have some. when was it ever ok in Florida?

meanwhile its been over a year and i am sleeping with the use of other chemicals. but for someone who has always had a mild problem with paranoia and went into 100% paranoia mode during post op delirium, I don't let myself go to paranoia with pot. If you must be jugemental , don't be around people who aren't. acceptance and positivity is crucial for this type of relaxation.

the mexican cartel is winning the battle. our enemies all over the world sell and finance atrocities with drugs. but we break the bank accounts and refuse to help those who legitimately need relief in our own country.

Gosh i'm having trouble seeing the positive in anything lately. rehab hospitals are a little like prison but now i'm allowed to leave for 4 hours. going home to do the laundry tomorrow and get a cookie dough blizzard at Dairy Queen.

maybe i'll score some pot on the street; lol....i could volunteer at the junior high and find some......granny arrested in undercover sting at local junior high. the whole world is on drugs but we must not use the plant or something is "wrong" with us. After all, it's illegal.

Default Re: want to yell

When I hear these posts, I get so angry with the system in the country I want to scream and yell. People should not be made to suffer.
Yes, there was a law for a brief period of time In Fla. to let a certain number of people try this under a compassionate law. it was soon voted down, not by us but by those who have the power to do so.
Tax it legalize it, and we would have no national debt. The mexican problem would disapear if it were legalized, instead there are wars and people getting killed over it. We need to have a more enlightened society. This plant has been around for thousands of years, you would think by now we would have learned that it is an exceptable thing to do. Fla. is one of the worst states now with their laws. I take morphine for pain, and I would love more than anything to get off it. I would have tried this plant if given the opportunity, as it is far less damaging than morphine. It just makes no sense to me that they consider pot, more damaging than this drug. It must be about money and power, with the people at the top. I am sorry you all have to suffer. ginnie

I wouldnt smoke it for my pd, but I agree with you..It should be legalize, and taxed..That would put an end to the crime that is associated with smuggling pot into the country

I guess our govt hasn't learned anything from Prohibition..They outlawed alcohol, and it caused crime and violence, and people were still drinking anyway
