Yeah, I guess your right. Makes me wonder why we bother to vote on something if the feds are just going to play nanny.

My wife has RSD and smokes marijuana...

She tells me different things at different times. Most of the time is that it helps her muscle spasms and appetite and not her pain. Other times she tells me that if I could keep her in an unlimited supply of medical marijuana she wouldn't have to take any narcotics.

Our biggest issue the cost involved. Marijuana is not covered by insurance and marinol is just not the same. Marijuana is prescribed by a doctor, but not restricted to a certain amount over a certain time period. I try to limit my wife to about an ounce a month ($300 or $10/day). But she always exceeds that by about double...which usually means we have to borrow money from family so my wife can stay medicated.

We could try growing it, but I can already hear my wife saying "this isn't as strong as the marijuana we buy". Which means we would spend a bunch of money on a garden and still having to buy Grade A stuff at the dispensary.

Kind of a vicious circle.

Thanks!
