I’m a 44 year old woman who has tried all kinds of perscription sleeping pills (I'm an insomniac really bad) and each type of pain killer I could get for severe back,ankle,foot and knee pain. I’ve pins and rods throughout my body from a near fatal wreck I was in back in 1997. Percocette,Vicodin,morphine etc just don't work. I also have anxiety attacks and Valium,Xanax,klonopin and other drugs barely help. A friend of mine suggested I smoke pot to see if it helped. This was years ago….. Well,the pot worked wonders. I had no anxiety,the pain was gone and I slept better than ever. Since then I’ve been a pretty regular smoker and I think pot should be legalized in every state for medicinal purposes. And personally,I would much rather be high than drunk. So………my question is how many of you’ll admit to smoking pot for medical reasons & for what medical reasons do you use it for? I have found Jack Herer and Durbon Poison work best. What's your favorite?

Wow Missy we sound as if we’ve a lot in common,just wanted to share with you what's happened to me,I have had six knee surgeries and I also had to have a cadaver bone inserted in to my leg and I was cleaning off the top of the fridge one day and was standing on a chair and I ended up falling off and landed 3 feet from the ground on my right hip,I ended up breaking it and they felt I was too young for a new hip so they put in 3 titanium screws,also fell and ended up breaking 3 ribs but there was nothing that could be done for that.I use to smoke weed back in the days and I haven't in a long time,I mostly live on daily doses of Migraine Excedrin for all of my aches and pains.I'm not much of a drinker myself.I do know a lot of people turn to weed to ease all of their aches and pains and maybe you could get a medical marijuana card for all that you have going on.I do feel that marijuana should be legalized too.When I did smoke I did for all of the pain.I too am on valium each day,I have very high anxiety as well.I was also on antidepressants when I lost both my mom and dad,I just couldn't function any more,since then I pulled myself off of the antidepressants and only take the valium,I also have high blood pressure and ended up being diagnosed with a hyper thyroid and went through hell with that and ended up having to have the gland killed off by swallowing some radio active pills in the hospital and now I'm on a synthetic hormone for the rest of my life.It sucks getting old,I think that smoking weed is far superior than being on all of the drugs.If this is what makes you feel superior then I think that this is the option for you.I too have problems sleeping,I feel stressed the majority of the time as well.I think that you need to do what works for you,just wanted to share and let you know that we seem to have a lot in common,Tomb Raider.
Answer:
It really is an amazing plant, and should legalized, but not only for medical purposes, but also for recreational.
How breathtaking would it be if everyone could have a medical plant growing in there garden, even for a common headache. Makes no sense why the government wouldnt let people grow or use whatever medicine they should feel like.
Jack Herer and Durban Poison are good strains, my personal favourite is an Afghan Indica which I smoked recently.
Answer:
You've listed a lengthy list of serious meds that you claim don’t work, yet recommend weed. I have no complaint with weed. However I think you really need to call a spade a spade. Your a stoner quite simply, so why look for support and reassurance from anyone else. Your fixation with being stoned is not any different to an alcoholic wanting / needing a drink and then having each excuse in the world to justify themselves, as though they were any different to the next substance abuser.
Answer:
Well personally, I think it should be legalized. For medical and social purposes.
It is much superior then drinking, and safer then cigarettes.
Also, most people smoke it because it looks cool, not to feel better.
Although, it is a pretty good excuse, no?
