Default calling all medical marijuana folks:

nys will officially launch its medical marijuana program in 2016!!! yippee!

i am looking forward to it & hope it will outperform the current crop of pain meds (neurontin, tramadol, cymbalta, lyrica, etal) which have lots of side effects that often outweigh the benefits.

soooo, here are my questions: (1) what benefits do you derive from MM? &
(2) are there any down sides?

I'll tack on another question for possible future use...

I won't smoke anything. (My dad died of lung cancer at 42 having smoked for 30 years.) I'd want another means of ingesting. Is adding it herbal tea an option?

I travel to Colorado. It helps. Must be the altitude.

nys will not permit inhaling. has to be another form of delivery...pill, brownies, etc.

I ate edible MJ. It worked. MMJ should be available to people with neuro issues. Unfortunately for me, it's a long trip and I usually only go once per year. :/

One more comment...because I have autonomic issues, MJ in edible form, seems balance my bodily functions which when you have autonomic neuropathy is a very hard thing to do, and achieve pain relief simultaneously. I don't think, that Big Pharma should fool with Mother Nature. Get reputable MJ from a reputable vendor and leave it at that.

I get it for some kids that they need the cannabidiol and not the THC...and yes, I see the value in that but, really, I recommend a trip to Colorado for a brownie and see how that works.

My state, Wississippi will NEVER legalize. I am seriously considering a move....it's too cold and conservative here now....the cold I could live with.

I just noticed my profile says I am a 'magnate'...OK...what the h does that mean? (Likely when I am sick I spend too much time on the computer...life with Autoimmune Autonomic Neuropathy. ) Who gives a disease a name with two 'autos' in it and that no one can pronounce? :/ It's the disease where you feel constantly hung over and like you weigh 1500 pounds. It's been a nightmare. I am still moving but it's a huge effort and I pay for every minute of activity with major pain. Pain pills will kill me. Oxymoronic disease. :/

There are only certain conditions that qualify as in some other states. Also, it cannot be smoked. Here is a site:
