"For the treatment of chronic pain in adults (cannabis) (4-1) [...]
"There is limited evidence that cannabis or cannabinoids are effective for:
"Increasing appetite and decreasing weight loss associated with HIV/AIDS (cannabis and oral cannabinoids) (4-4a)"
And yet here we are, every day, having to read about how healthy it is to smoke pot. Keep up the propaganda.
Well, I have chronic pain (I sit on my ass all day long with a heating pad on my neck and back), and I need help with my appetite (I’ve lost 40 lb in the last year, not because of HIV/AIDS, but because I have massive thickening in the folds of my stomach).
I need help. My doc doesn’t want to prescribe tramadol any more (he doesn’t want to prescribe any controlled substance), and I’m at a loss to find something to help me eat (long story).
So, I’m open to using cannabis. I’ve spent a lot of time researching it and I’m willing to try. I toked a lot for a couple of years in the early 70’s and it really messed up my grades because I was stoned all the time. I don’t ever want to be like that again, but I feel like I’m boxed into a corner.
