I did sign a contract with my first PCP. He did not say Herb was wrong or not to do it. He just didn't want me to doctor shop which is a problem in our state. My New PCP knows that I tried it, and does not object. My PS is wonderful and if in this state it would be approved, I do think he would allow it. We should be a free county people, and we arn't.... The laws are harsh even when pain is the motive. I am 59, and would like to decide for myself what to put in my body. The doctors sure have me swallowing a bunch of other stuff. In my opinion it helps. If it's all in my head, well the jury is still out. However the law terrifies me enough that continuing on wouldn't be worth sitting in jail. I think there isn't any addicting properties, since I did this in my youth, now later as a older woman. MS contin however and all the other opiates are horrible to get off of. It took me almost 8 months of reducing to feel normal again. Like a placebo? I am not sure. I only know I felt better and laughed again. Too bad the law shuts out this kind of therapy. It really ought to be up to the individual. I also think liquor is much more damaging. My dad was alcholic, so I saw it, lived around it. I think a bit of common sense if a person where to try it, would go a long way. ginnie

Dr Oz just had a big special on this subject today. Montel Williams who has horribly painful MS was on telling how this is the only thing that helps keep his pain at bay and he has been using it for 10 years.

He was talking to some doctors who dont think it should be legalized and if looks could kill...Montel would have knocked this one lady doctor out!

I have not tried it myself for this condition but it should definitely be available for us without worrying about going to jail! its no crime to want to be out of RSD pain!

I saw that Dr. Oz program on medical marijuana. It was well moderated by him.

I agree that it needs to be well controlled, but this should be between the doctor and the patient.

Many with different types of "chronic pain" have found relief with the use of this.

I live in Wisconsin,also on a strict pain agreement. When I was not disabled and working as a nurse in the cancer clinic-Years ago(maybe12?) Anyway when I would take a patient to their room's and if I had time to talk to them. I would say back then 50% of the patient's were smoking it. I have read many article's on this. The releif that RSD and cancer patient's is amazing!! If I decided to try it out,then got tested at my DR. Office for any other pain pill's than what I am on I would be kicked out so fast it would make your head spin!! I think it is awfull that with the amount of pain we are in that we should be able to decide if this would be an option!! If they legalize it in a few state's,why not the rest?? Oh well we shall see? Take care-Alway's Breezy55 Politic's,whatever~~~

HI Jim the Sticks for Pot are $6 if you buy 100 ,I say if someone does crank coke etc they dont have RSD or a mind
