What I was saying is that the MJ helps me sleep, but doesn't touch my pain. At least not at the amount I use it or in the way I do. Then, I am assuming that the ones who get relief are doing so by smoking.

I did not have a problem sleeping so I am not the best one to answer. I can tell you that I do have a problem sleeping now and it has helped, but my sleep problem is not pain at this time.

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.

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.

Have you ever tried it or know anyone who has? How does it help and for how long? Janice From: Robert Pall Sent: Tuesday, January 12, 2010 6:45 AM To: TMIC Subject: [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 subject….as for me I am delighted! Now I just have to get my Dr. to prescribe it! Rob in New Jersey
