Smoking for medical reasons...

[blazefor20]

Just wondering, besides myself, who else is smoking for medical purposes? You can be as brief or detailed as you like. Nobody wants to invade your privacy. I smoke because everyday I get headaches since the age of 7. I get migraines too. My doctor gives me all kinds of drugs, even a shot in the large muscle which I have to give. Now if its that bad to a Doctor, ...I rant again. You get me. I also have had about 7 surgeries on one knee and more to come. This list goes on. Anyway, my body, my choice.

I had one and they found no reason for them...they still happen. Good tip on the organics. Hadn't thought of that.

I personally use it to help control my mood swings. I was diagnosed with bi-polar disorder when I was in my early 20's. I never could take the meds because the side effects were horrible. Cannabis then came to my rescue. I can truly say that it has helped me more than any of the crap doctors gave me. Oh yeah did i mentioned i am also diagnosed with depression which marijuana has helped too. 1 medicine that relieves multiple symptoms and ills or several different types to reach the same effect...hmmmmm i will stick with marijuana!

i smoke primaraly to get high and enjoy being stoned, but i have ibs (thought was crones at first thanks fuck it aint) and a colitus in my bowel, and i have to say some strains really help.

so medicinal purposes a bonus for me

for a long time just to get high but for years had a slight groin pain no bother seen doc, chronic groin pain after seeing specialist ,but just mild occasional need for pain killers gave up weed for a month bout 6 month ago an after a few days had yto take more an more pain killers not once linking it to the lack of weed ( silly moo ) after a week or so went back to doctors saying it getting unbearable he prescribed stronger painkillers;( tho right towards the end in general chit chat i mentioned giving up the weed ( was proud u c ) to which his reply was do u think the pain increase could b the lack of it ....to say i went home quickly via a 'friend' was a understatement but here we r 6 moths later i got some ladies on the go an i back to no painkillers god bless the herb!!!!

Being in the medical field, I know first hand the medicinal qualities of cannabis. There are so many benefits to using for symptoms. Having an enjoyable buzz while gaining the desired effects to treat symptoms is just an added benefit. Concerning pain killers...ask yourself, would you rather take a pain killer in pill form and get constipation and nausea or would you rather use herb and relieve the symtoms and enjoy it at the same time? The answer is clear to me (although I have to use both). Unfortunately, I am in a non-legalized State. The Laws make me so mad when our law-makers in the District of Columbia have legalized for medicinal in their District. Whats wrong with this picture?

I use it for chronic depression and anxiety.

Without it I'm a mess.

Litterally can't sleep.

I too suffer from depression and insomnia if i dont smoke, i have tried sleeping pills etc and overdosed on them once and nearly died back in 2000. its the only thing that works for me and the fact i was busted 4 weeks ago and my plants taken has just made things so much worse. Am looking into as much information as possible for my defence if i am caught again as i dont feel i can stop without losing my sanity. bad times unfortunatly surely there must be a loophole somewhere for us to use it medically?
