I have a friend who here in CA has a medical card for marijuana. I am on pain management for a severe back injury, morphine and percocet are the drugs I’m taking this month. Sometimes if I am at her house and don’t have my pain meds on me and she is smoking, I will take a puff or 2 tops. It takes the edge of my pain and helps me relax until I can get home to my meds. I can’t drive because of seizures so I take public transportation so I’m not driving after smoking it. If I make the connections it still takes me almost an hour to get home from her place. Without that puff or 2 that would be a miserable hour. I have actually been offered a script for marijuana by my doctor but haven’t taken her up on it. I may smoke it 1 or 2 times a month at most. Don’t know what this ads in the long run just to say I am someone who can take 1 puff and stop even though there is more available. And that one puff can do almost as much as my pain meds.
You should. Those "pain management" drugs you mentioned are hell on the kidneys, and highly addictive.
I actually think using it for pain control is not abuse, so you won’t get an argument out of me.
Similar to morphine. I don’t think people who use morphine for pain control are doing anything wrong. I think the people who use it to get high are doing wrong.
I believe you when you say a puff or two helps with pain. The pot today is very strong. Actually your saying that backs up my main point! You smoke a whole joint you are wasted!
