how silly...! reply? to what, too many answers for one " loaded " question. Rephase it..? parahrase it?? Calling all " stoners " ? not really, I'm so not on your train of thoughts. I'm so aware of so many people who use any resource, combination to rid themselves of significant pain in daily life..if your on line, you too have amble opportunity to get a descriptive report on the use of marijuana? So what are you really wanting to know? We're all in pain, "YES " were here for you " YES" Two yeses, and a no...ttf = Logic? truth table? it's too early for me to make sense of your initial need to know?

Rather than seeking to smoke it, there's a pill form out there. It's called Setiva, I believe. It does the same thing as smoking it. As you know, all forms of smoking, whether it's marijuana or regular tobacco, are harmful to your lungs, heart, digestive system, bladder, etc., so if you can find a doctor who's licensed to write a prescription for the pills instead, then go for that.

Sorry: I meant to say the pill's name is "Marinol."

Today, walking in the 55 plus community, having two years to go, before it's legit for me to live here? My Edward passes me by a lot. I had the distinct smell, aroma, depending on your likes, " the good stuff " LOL down wind. Caught me by surprise too. Ahh, the smell of " alternative medicine " in the morning. You cant smell narcotics, like Vodka? vicodin breath?
it works for who ever was hitting his/her bong?? LOL Speculating again, bad habit. I hope they have a ravenous appetite now, having brunch on V-day.

I've used cannabis with good success for pain/neuropathy in my lower legs and feet (I've had ms for 30+ years and am also on gabapentin (800mg 4x day) which does not do much). I do not want to use opioids for fear they will aggravate my constipation. I also use the Sativex, which is a sublingual spray (you put it under your tongue) but I have to go to Canada for this product; it is not legal in the US. It works very well, and does not get you "stoned" (though I'm fairly used to cannabis)--I feel confident driving etc. It's a tragedy that this rx (derived from marijuana) isn't available in this country for those people suffering from neuropathy who don't respond to other drugs. You might talk to your doctor about the antidepressant Cymbalta and the antiseizure drug Lyrica, both of which are supposed to work for neuropathic pain (but not for me).
