Your doctor would likely have to write it for your symptoms such as chronic pain or chronic nausea, etc or if you have any major ''Herxes'' that are covered by it. You really should inquire with your doctor. He may not agree to it until you've exhausted every possible pill beforehands......

I was born with GERD, it did a number on the enamel of my teeth. I went through the entire battery of medication, many of which had unwanted side effects, then I started smoking not to deal with nausea but rather for recreational purposes (I won't BS about that). However, I found that it was the only thing that helped with it; likely because it controlled the spasms in the gut, so I self medicated for a long time. I currently don't smoke, mainly due...

You can also get it for depression in a few of those but in certain states, like Arizona for example, they make you jump through hoops and the only thing they've given out cards for is chronic pain and or chronic nausea. A recommendation means absolutely nothing here, you have to apply to the state and pay for your potential card then if they deny you (which they deny mos...

So if making a small pan of brownies that cut into eight squares then I would say a gram of kief should be adequate. It's usually a good idea to err on the side of caution when trying it out, eating a quarter of a brownie first is probably a good idea. If after an hour you feel it's kind of weak then eat another quarter until eventually you find around what dosage ...

I didn't even want to use the word weak, hence the quotation marks, but to an extent it's an accurate description. It's almost like schoolyard bullies, not entirely the same but there is a direct link to their behavior. Preying on a weakness and trying to exploit it. And we all know how I feel about bullying; I don't think it should be illegal but I got in trouble on the regular all through school, starting in preschool...

They were asking me if medical marijuana could be of use to them. I wanted to strangle them lol I told them, it's not easy to obtain, it can get expensive, it has side effects, some people react badly to it like with any other medication.

It's not even about demonizing it, it's about money. Could they make money hand over fist on taxation from recreational smokers? Of course they could but not with the highway robbery prices dispensaries charge right now. So what happens if they do legalize it?

I can definitely see why your heart rate going up and up could be a very scary experience. Before I got help for my panic disorder, I used to check my pulse several hundred times per day. I was afraid of dying that badly. The heart really is meaning of life and it's an organ that we can feel. It's better now than I take medications for it.

First of all, I'm sorry for your diagnosis. I also have CFS and fibro. I use MM mainly for my fibro pain. It does not seem to make me more tired or more awake really. That would most likely be because marijuana is not a stimulant like coffee or Ritalin for example. I'm not saying that you have to go on these drugs btw. I'm just wanting to give out some info. As for marijuana, there are 2 main types as you stated already: Sativas and Indicas. Most strains are a mix of both with ...

All the drugs specifically using THC are of little significance since THC has virtually no medicinal properties. It's good for some people's anxiety but without CBD it causes extreme paranoia in large doses. There was an experiment done in Britain or Holland (can't remember which) where they injected a woman with a large dose of THC and she felt terrible, like she was going to die and something ominous was hanging ...
