Seems to work for some things if you can find the correct variety and dose.

:clapping:  Well said.  Now if I can just get my doctor comfortable with the idea that not every dose is going to be exactly the same as the last...  Major hangup!!

It would be interesting to see how many docs would change their tune if it WERE made leagle.

My main doc is fine with it due to all the relief it gives me but,,,, my pain mgnt doc is a super prick and since it is illegal and any amount felony were I'm at I have to have meds for any pain relief, yet he refuses to put me on anything but a extra 100mg of lyrica. I was on fentonal 100 patches, hydrocodone and morphine with my last pain dr.!! Was forced off everything cold turkey tried canibus for the withdrawals and never felt better in my life I was able to even walk without the needles up my leg and my limp was even getting better!!  1 state away is Colorado so not like it was impossible to find here in this state. Just due to legality I am forced back to a dr. That doesn't care about anything but a pay check.  My gal is from Hawaii and we are planing on going to visit in March and her family dr already has me set up with an apt. to get a mmj card there so I can enjoy the trip and not be in constant agony the whole time.  The strain that works for me is a pineapple sativa. I just use a tini pinch and it doesn't get me "high" but it does cut the pain enuff to stand up for a hour and sometimes 2 between each puff. Any more than 2 puffs and I get high and don't care for that feeling at all so 1 and go for me. 1 flower will last me 2-3 weeks at that rate so it isn't even as expensive as my rxs to fill each month and 10x the relief!! I seen a oz once and that amount would be a 3-4 month supply for me using it every day! Some addict I am lol. I just enjoy being able to move and tired enuff to sleep.  I hate this back woods state government more and more every day
