I have MS, and what amazes me is that nobody seems too concerned with the "danger" involved in the interferon I "shoot up" every other day.
But let someone suggest that marijuana might help, and everybody starts talking about the side effects or how dangerous it might be, when in comparison to what is already prescribed for these conditions, marijuana has minimal side effects.

I watched a documentary about a guy in the late stages of MS. He was incapable of walking. He would take an ecstacy tablet and could literally do headstands. I think if any kind of drug relieves pain or helps stop suffering then it should be used.
I've never used MJ to relieve my spasticity or other MS related problems. The meds work for me, but my disease is stable.
I have spoken with folks in Canada who have thrown away all meds and just use MJ for relief. Their complaint about the new spray form that the Canadian government allows is that it's too strong. It get's them "high", whereas a small dose of the natural MJ doesn't.
Interesting for those who think that people want MJ to be approved as a med for their disease because they want to feel high.
