RE: [TMIC] Medical Marijuana
I did smoke it and know of others that stated that was the only way to get the pain relief, no clue why. I sure do wish the pharmaceutical companies would research what chemicals in the plant help us and the best way to deliver those chemicals. It is not the THC that relieves pain, it just helps you not to care you are in pain. It may help in combination with another chemical but I don’t know anyone that took marinol that had the pain relief that those of us that smoked had. It took the neurological pain away, all of it and it was wonderful. Marinol is really great for those on chemo that need to eat, if they can keep down a pill. It works really well increasing ones appetite.

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.

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
Seems that those who smoke it get a lot of pain relief. Do you get pain relief with the sleepy effects?

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 subject….as for me I am delighted! Now I just have to get my Dr. to prescribe it! Rob in New Jersey
[TMIC] Medical marijuana use
To those TM'ers in Michigan, Here are sample ballots for Nov. 5th election (1st link) and then some information about medical marijuana use ( 2nd link -appear to be arguments against including lists of groups against it, such as the National Multiple Sclerosis Society). Interesting information and interesting controversy.

Re: [TMIC] Medical marijuana
Can't stand the soreness in my throat. I hate handling cigarettes. Brownies are easy, just add a tsp. of cannabis- start with a tsp then slowly increase. Orally does not work as fast as inhaling, expect an hours wait! Good Luck, F
