[TMIC] Medical Marijuana
New Jersey is on the verge of becoming the next state (probably this week) to legalize medical marijuana. Question.have any of you tried it and if so has it provided you with relief? I know how I would answer but perhaps other members will shed a different light on the subjectas for me I am delighted! Now I just have to get my Dr. to prescribe it! Rob in New Jersey
RE: [TMIC] Medical Marijuana
I have used it for many, many years. Dr. Kerr knew and agreed, along with every other neuro I have ever seen. It works so much better than marinal and you do not need to smoke or eat enough to get high to feel the pain relief. I myself don't mind the feeling if I over indulge, some do. I am not sure which chemical in the plant stops the pain, but it is instant, at least it is for me.

INTERNATIONAL DAY OF ACCEPTANCE - January 20, 2010 To achieve social acceptance of disability. To honor the late Annie Hopkins, founder of 3E Love and creator of the International Symbol of Acceptance. 3E Love is a social entrepreneurial awareness experiment. Read detailed announcement at http://3elove.com/blog/january-20th/ Wear your heart on your sleeve on January 20th. Tell the world you embrace who you are; a person with social rights, who has an opinion, who has interests, who has goals and who loves life; a person who is empowered to make a difference in the world and not be without a voice in society. You are not living disabled, you are living. To our supporters: Join us in telling the world that you are accepting of people with disabilities. As our parents, siblings, relatives, spouses, children, lovers, coworkers, teachers, personal assistants, friends, and anyone else - you also have a role in our culture and life.

Ink a temporary tattoo onto your hand. Draw it on if you have to! Ask your friends to join us as well. And for a final touch change your profile picture on Facebook to the symbol. Get people talking! When a person asks about the symbol, What's that mean? Well now it's your turn to tell them your story or what its significance is to you.

Re: [TMIC] Medical Marijuana
Robert, I use SATIVEX: An extraction from Cannibis, made in Britain, sold only in CANADA, but coming soon to the USA. ThisSATIVEX is a spray under the tongue. It lasts about eight hours, has very little euphoria. It costs about $640 Canadian for about 3 months spply (204 doses) I love it because I am able to travel with no problems at customs or with police as SATIVEX is a prescription medication. Frank

RE: [TMIC] Medical Marijuana
All I can say is that it didn't affect my fatigue. Marinol or synthetic THC did nothing for my pain, it did affect my fatigue and gave me the munchies all the time! I would think it would depend on how much you used.

Re: [TMIC] Medical Marijuana
Hello Janice, Medical marijuana is just that---marijuana that one smokes. Marinol on the other hand, is pill form, and Sativex is a mouth spray. Many MS patients smoke to help them deal with pain and spasticity, as do many in the NMO Community.

RE: [TMIC] Medical Marijuana
In a pill form it is called marinol. That is basically synthetic THC and I was prescribed it in '99 and it didn't really take the pain away. It did make me sleep and hungry. I smoked it instead and that took the pain away, helped the spasticity in my muscles, and left me feeling pretty good. I did not need to smoke a lot to get relief.

Re: [TMIC] Medical Marijuana
Seems that those who smoke it get a lot of pain relief. Do you get pain relief with the sleepy effects? Maybe I just finally am just so relaxed that am able to sleep, and it generally takes about 45 minutes or more for the effect to take place.
