Lots of restrictions though as to who can get it and who cannot. I believe a person has to have one of nine health conditions in order to get it. But I guess it is a start as many have said.

Cancer, Glaucoma, HIV/AIDs, Tourette's Syndrome, ALS, Seizures, Muscle spasm, Crohn's Disease, and certain terminal illnesses.

Hello,

I am new and have been catching up on the threads about marijuana. NH, where I live has passed mm but has not implemented. I used it for pain associated with RSD, Erythromelalgia and polyneuropathy. I use both a vaporizer for plant and eCIG for oil. Oil does not produce a high but reduces the burning, gnawing pain. Using these devices eliminates all the harsh, cancer causing toxins. Beatle and others, I hope you are getting some pain relief as well.

Thanks! I look forward to following this and other threads!

Thanks, Doc. And yeah, I figured that but hey it's only money. In fact I found an online source for CBD gum and ordered some. No clue whether or not it's a scam but... (see my comment about money). If I get no effect whatsoever from the gum (assuming it arrives, as against the company draining my credit cards and bank accounts....) I suppose I'll consider pursuing a license for MJ, which I can get by walking into a "clinic" here in LA any day of the week.

There's one strain called Charlotte's Web that was developed to help a little girl with epilepsy and it is advertised as containing much more CBD than the normal THC-laden stuff. Would have to figure out a way to ingest it without smoking it so it's a bit more of a project that, as has been noted, might well yield no positive results. I'm not especially keen on the MJ high these days, unlike when I was a teenager, so I'd just as soon not go through all the trouble and expense of buying a vaporizer.

On we go!

Hi kitt
 

I think different states allow it for different reasons. In Fla. if it gets on the ballot it will include all neurological diseases as well. ginnie:grouphug:

You will be lucky if that happens. :winky:

Hi Kitt
 

Yeh I know. I was one who was signing up people to get it on the ballot. Not sure this state can vote this in. Will work later on in the summer to sign people up to vote. All I can do is try. ginnie:grouphug:

So true. :winky:

All my doctors know
How irresponsible for one
not to tell all doctors
As interactions are sure to
happen
Especially before surgery
But it helps me in a vast way
Rather then ever go on Lyrica
or any of the other neuro Meds
NEVER
I will do what helps
Awesome for nausea
headaches burning tingling
and on and on
I know my body like nobody else
Empower oneself
Be responsible
I do believe it on a recreational level
is a gateway to addicition
More info the better choices
Me

No moreso than caffeine, alcohol, or nicotine. Why is it we don't hear much about those being "gateway" drugs? :rolleyes: ;)

Doc

Hi Eva and Doc
 

In regards to it being a gateway drug.....I think it depends on the persons psychological make up to begin with. I never had an issue with it, but there are others who do use it and abuse other drugs. A cop I talked to about it when I was campaigning to get this on the ballot, told me that he never arrested any one for just MJ. It was always some fool on other drugs with it.
No question people should use their heads if they are going to do this. Dependence is in the mind maybe....ginnie:grouphug:
