I do live in California and have both a users license and a growing certificate! Right now my allowed six plants are about 4 1/2 feet tall and it looks like I'll be able ago the whole year without having to go to the store. Yes, we have medical marijuana stores in California. it's just a feeling but I'm pretty certain that I would be taking much more methadone and oxycodone if the medical marijuana option wasn't available to me. I pretty much use it throughout the day but then again it's not like I drive a bus for living (or do anything for a living anymore).

For goodness sake Montel Williams is for it, for the MS. he has as well as other things as well, fms being one of them... why are people not listening? anyway, i a respectable person, and would drive back 5 miles back to a store to give back the wrong 'change' but something that isn't hurting anyone? that should be prescribed by a dr. i just don't understand.

pondering again...

Im pondering right with you!

It's like living in the dark ages of medicine. So then what, an 800 mg prescription of Ibuprofin or Depression medication?

Personally I think doctors, especially pain specialists, should be liable for their lack of attentiveness and for procrastination since they're just buying time hoping that the addicts will just leave while the real sufferers have to play their game all the while cope with intense pain.

Me thinks it's time to move to California and set up shop next to Shapiro.

Hi guys,

I am in springfield massachusetts where it turns out there is more drug addicts than doctors and I cant get a doctor to prescribe anything for my FM.I went to the pain management clinic yesterday and they made me do a drug test and I have to see there shrink before they will even consider any meds, and the Doc made it clear narcotics werent the way to go, because of addiction purposes.I tried to explain to him dependancy and addiction were two completely differet things but he just didnt want to hear it.I am also in a state where MJ isnt an option although I would consider it, dang on a good day my pain is a 6 and most days an 8. I had to fight for 30 percocets and they help very little.I dont know if there is anyone in this area but if there is and can recommend a Doc please do.<br><br>Post edited by: jumptolife, at: 09/06/2007 07:36

what sturck me was the procrastination comment, its true i have never thought of it. it has to be done.... well common sense merits the thought, but no one wants to tackle the issue. so it is indeed procrastination! in another words, just another reason to get aggravated.

but no, we'll just put another pill in our livers, and smile.
