I know some of our people will testify to this and some will say it helps but ..
Thought I would throw it our because I don't usually look at their stuff.  It is a short and easy read.

You too, huh.  I will sometimes skim through their newsletters if I see a good headline but most of the time it just goes into long term storage.  Excellent article and very very hopeful.  Of course, my doc will simply say, meh... too small of a study.  (sigh)  but it gives me a lot of hope. 

Now, if I can just figure out how to afford the stuff.

Fox we are Canadian isn't everything medical free??   

[foxgrove]

...yeah, wouldn't that be nice.  To coin a phrase, the rumours of our medication access have been greatly exaggerated.

Fox we are Canadian isn't everything medical free??   

Yea if you wait long enough!

[foxgrove]

We'll have a looooooong wait before we'll be seeing pot covered under pharmacare.

  Lets start a clinic with drs who actually care about chronic pain patients!  Oh yeah the govt wants to put them in jail for actually treating pain

I told you a while back we had a signature drive to get legal medical pot on the ballot, we needed 69,000 signatures, we ended up with 224,000, yea it's on the ballot. So what does our wonderful legislature do? They decide to pass a bill to put a "alternative bill" in the election. They say it's to make sure that each section of the law is clear and understandable. So what happens, is you have
1. For chronic pain
  A. Do you have chronic pain
    1. is your chronic pain caused by cancer or cancer treatments, or other type pain Then go to Section 1A
    2. is your pain caused by fibromyalgia, fibromyostis etc... Go to Section 2C
Go to section 2C, it goes blah blah blah for 3 pages, then sends you to Section M3. M3 is another 4 pages of circle speak, than sends you somewhere else. Eventually you go through the spiderweb enough times and every one of those different paths takes you to the last page of the book, our bill 10 pages, their bill is over 3000 pages, but you end up on that last page and it says "Your not qualified". So if their bill passes, then not only are we in the same place, but we can't try to change it. ASSHOLES at work. I left messages with my senators and representatives both, and this is what we end up with. I didn't vote for either of the assholes, and won't vote for them next time either, and called back to tell them them that.

When I had tramacet I was high functioning and almost normal for physical strength and exertion but the pain steals all that away. Some of it may related to other health changes but it is all I have to compare with now. Been self isolating for about a year now lol

[Robby]

but the pain steals all that away.

Your preaching to the choir brother. The pain steals everything, including your whole life

Been self isolating for about a year now lol

I've been self-isolating since 2002 I don't know anything else now.

Cannabis is good but i have to find a different was to ingest it. The lungs get kind of sore after
awhile .
Edibles are expencive.
Ive read lots of stuff but it all takes too much money/energy.
