Being a Para and using medical MJ as prefered pain treatment

I have been a PARA now for 15 years of those 15 years I have used medical Marijuana for 14 of them - In the beginning...In the hospital they drugged me right up on Morphine, Laratine's and oxy 's for my pain treatment - wow what a waste of a year of my life - I Lived in a bubble as I found these kind of drugs really affect ones place in society - they make you non productive and almost useless... not to mention the Damage over time to your liver -  Ive seen 3 friends whom now have liver and kidney issues from prolonged use of these drugs.  

I took a stance with my doctor and stated that MJ works for me and definitely takes the edge off so the daily pain is tolerable, as well as the added perk of Hunger that comes with it - I know stress really affects my hunger - if im stressed I don't eat as I just don't feel the hunger pain very much anymore.  As well one can fully function and be a productive member of society...meaning getting a JOB

eventually I had to do my own research and find a doctor that supports this form of medication - Dr. Goddard is now my pain specialist for the last 14years and Im telling all of you IT WORKS for me and my life style - I work 10 hours plus a day and thrive outside of work hours  even being medicate It allows me to be very productive - 14 years of it now and my mind is still very, very sharp - I vaporize it...  keeping my health in check !

I'm Curious if other choose this path as well ???
