ridingdirty, I don't personally use it but I know others who use it to prevent pain and spasms with good results. I'm not too sure what the laws are like over there for medicinal marijuana but here we need to get a license for it through doctors recommendation else it's illegal to use. Check out the link Lαrα posted, it's got some good information on the effects of MM.
Hey there mikeb, I went ahead and fixed your quote for you. It's common to quote incorrectly when getting used to the forum so I've created a thread for our members on how to correctly quote found here.
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 thehospital they drugged me right up on Morphine, Laratine's and oxy 's for my pain treatment - wow what a waste of a year of mylife - 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 !
Absolutely helps with spasms, spasticity and nerve pain as well as attitude but had to chill from using when my medical provider started drug testing.....Now it's back to vile opiates, bacflon, etc, which I despise for their vile side-effects....I'd move to Colorado if I could afford it...
Its such a shame that you had to go back to the meds...it makes no sense does it. There should be personal choice of this. It is illegal here in the UK and to be honest thats crazy , i wake during the night now due to spasms and i dont want to take the option of baclofen.

It's too bad you had to stop using it. Do they not even allow the use of it medically where you're at? Over here it's only legal if you have it prescribed for medical reasons but I think that's soon to change once our new (future) government gets into power!
