Thumbs up Vox.com: Why doctors should be prescribing marijuana...

http://www.vox.com/2014/4/28/5661314...rijuana-and-ms

The new review, published today in the journal Neurology, looked at 34 studies on marijuana's effect on a range of neurological illnesses conducted over the past decade.

Here in PA there is legislation that was set in motion today to legalize medical marijuana.
Unfortunately, our governor said if it makes it to his desk he will veto the bill.

I don't understand how non medical persons can make decisions on medical issues. He doesn't even want to listen to any reason. Although, I think I might, I'm not even sure I would use it. I just find it very disturbing that we have a governor that leaves people in pain and children having seizures so he can make his constituents happy and continue to get campaign funds. Just my opinion but I believe that is his reason.

The parents of those children are planning a sit in at the governors office in Harrisburg if the governor refuses to meet with them. Good for them and shame on him! People like our governor should live just one day in the kind of pain we experience. Or better yet in the shoes of the parents of these children.

As with a presidential veto of federal legislation, your governor's veto can be overridden by 2/3 vote of the elected legislature.

U.S. states, veto powers, and override authority

Dr. Smith I did not know that thanks for that information. It leaves a window for hope.

Echoes trust me I'm trying. I have encouraged everyone that will listen to vote someone else in. I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

Hopeful

Default Medical Marijuana for PN, CRPS, and SBS

Hi Beatle, I just joined this neuro board in hopes of communicating and sharing resources with others seeking pieces to this frustrating and painful anatomical puzzle. I spent 18 years navigating through many of the same doubters, dilemma's and lack of knowledge by doctors and society waiting for technology and research to catch up. I had a fall that led to ankle surgery where everything that could go wrong did. Two years after my CRPS was diagnosed my colon and organs began failing until I lost my small intestines to an ileoanal pouch. Each year has brought more surgeries, debilitating diagnoses and new Rx trials all as the result of my original PN to the tune of #33 to date. PN has affected my guts, organs, bones, tissue, skin, hearing, hair loss, and equilibrium, not to mention my mental health and depression. The most benefit I've received to date has been from adding medical marijuana capsules with 28mg of cannabidiol and less than .05% of THC. These capsules have reduced inflammation, nausea, migraines, joint pain and depression. I take Indica MM capsules at night to help me sleep which have worked wonders. The therapeutic benefits of using the entire plant have been documented as far back as 1700's in Europe, Egypt, the UK and other countries. The salves, lotions, and teas also have extensive healing properties with ZERO negative affects on the mind and body. In 30 days my muscle spasms have reduced by 50% as has my nausea, vomiting and inflammation. If we can't cure it why not manage the negative symptoms the best we can. Let me know if you're interested in reading further information on these capsules. I hope your experience has been as positive as mine.
