I have MS too.
Never tried MJ for my problems, but my meds seem to work.
However, many in the MS community say they can throw half, if not all, their meds away (meds for spasticity, spasms, pain, etc) by just using MJ.
Of course, the pharmaceuticals don't make a penny, but when they can figure out a way (which they're hard at work on as we speak) to make $$$ off marijuana, then it will be legal.
Yes that's true, as soon as they find a way MJ will be legal..
Godd luck with your MS I know it can be painful but manageable and I say if MJ helps you *Screw the Feds! use it unfortunatley discreetly...
Google Sativex®.

Gotta love anecdotal stories.
No major medical organization supports smoked marijuana for MS.
"Based on the studies to date, it is the opinion of the National Multiple Sclerosis Society's Medical Advisory Board that there are currently insufficient data to recommend marijuana or its derivatives as a treatment for MS. Long-term use of marijuana may be associated with significant serious side effects. In addition, other well-tested, FDA-approved drugs are available, such as baclofen and tizanidine, to reduce spasticity in MS."
