hopefully theres some medusers onboard here

[mal123]

and i'd sure like to see us all posting real soon :D

peace, rob

[Boojum]

I guess I'd call myself a med user, since I smoke to alleviate side effects of medication, but I'm also a recreational user ;)

[NowhereMan]

i am definately a med user
i like a buzz yes but ya know i mostly smoke to allieviate ulcers and stress
helps the mood swings from a bi polar condition
depression is beast,it can calm that beast most days
rapid thoughts are a misery
it can slow them down enough for me to understand them
oh yea,dont know bout anyone else
but it does make me more tolerent of society' percieved flaws i feel.

[HigHAnneXities]

I think sometimes I am a med user, when I smoke because the anxieties are so overwhelming, and it quells the demons, but sometimes when I smoke, the anxieties become overbearing and nothing saves me.

[NowhereMan]

i dont care what they say about it

Dude, if I were you I'd get that address off (I think you can edit your own posts). Posting emails for contact is one thing, but generally it's a no-no to post an actual address on any internet message board (not just ones associated with drugs) - you never know what kinda whacko may be reading. And I'm not too sure about medi weed in california, but if it aint 100% legal, I'd definitely get rid of the address.

Not being para or anything, just think that caution should be the watchword whenever using the internet. Good luck with hooking up.

[roostanz]

hey all,im a med user.i use it to allieviate the pain from my neck i find it works better than morphine and has no nasty side effects.so far the best strain ive used for pain would be the black mamba x ice princess and also pink kush both imo are excellent cheers

[freddy]

I too have found that smoking is better than pills.
I have had 3 back surgeries and neck surgeries plus knee surgery (fell from a fairly high ladder at work), and the doctor has me taking vicodin (10-650), Avinza (90 mg of morphine sulfate), 4 different muscle relaxers, which do not work that well.
But let me get my pipe down, 10 min. later, all is good, all is fine.
Plus, because of the pills, I am now having problems with my liver.
So, as far as I am concerned, nothing beats good ol' Mothernature.

[DirtyB2525]

We are all med users. We all use it to help the pain from everyday life(stress, angry, depression......) cant think of any more am too stoned.

Herb the gift, from the Earth, and what's from the earth is of the greatest worth.

[The Hillbilly]

I'm a registered Medical Marijuana Patient in Nevada. After reading these post I see me in a lot of the replys.

I had my right leg amputated in 1996 due to Peripheral Vascular Disease. At the time I was taking handfuls of pain pills, (Vicoden, Lortabs, etc.). I was also doing Heroin. About two months after my amputation I quit the heroin, and about two weeks after that, I quit the pills. Wasn't easy! Smoking marijuana was a big help in getting through that time.

The third month after my amputation I returned to work. Construction, and I continued to work for another five and half years. In 2002 I was unable to stay on my feet,(foot), long enough to continue working on jobsites so I applied for Social Security Disability. I was finally approved in October of 2002.

I knew I couldn't just lay on my ass and not do anything, so I went to Bureau of Vocational Rehabilition to request assistance with occupational training, and help with the repair, or replacement, of my prosthesis.

About now your probably thinking 'what does this have to do with medical marijuana?'

As it happens, when my counselor learned of my medical use of marijuana, he refused to give me any assistance. I didn't have a registry card at the time, but did obtain one. Interestingly, it was the doctor the BVR sent me to who filled out the medical necessity form to send in to get the card. Nonetheless, the BVR still refused to help me. I have been fighting them for nearly a year and half.

January 15th I had a formal hearing. The judge ruled in their favor. His decision was about six pages of ambiguous banter. I have until Wednesday to file a Petition for Judicial Review.

Now comes the good part! I have since been to another doctor at their request. This doctor also endorsed my medical use of marijuana, ruling out other pain relievers because of my Hep C. When I talked to my counselor the other day, I asked him about the report from the doctor. He said, "Well, it's not exactly what I expected."

BTW, and this part really sucks. I haven't smoked since Thanksgiving. I really need a new leg, and some occupational training, and they tell me I have to have a 'clean' urine test to get assistance.

I know by they way they drag their feet I could be dead before I ever get the judicial review. So I'm hoping to get assistance while I suffer from the pain, and depression, of being a one legged guy in a two legged world.

harsh. where would u get a new leg from anyway? prosthetic?
and btw if ur in canada ask ur doctor to prescribe medical marijuana. then they cant force u to have a clean urin test i don tthink cuz its a medication

Hi all. I am John. Otherwise known as MrFixit. We have a med Mj group in Oregon. That's right. The USA. We have a rockin website that is open to all med users. Come by and visit. We are linking here for our members to come over and check this site out also.

Hope to see you there.

[HEMCY VICTIM]

I use cannabis to keep glaucoma under control.It has worked fine for at least 24 years. Dr. prescribed medicine did not work and only led to laser surgery.
I have also have had diabetes for 39 years and have absolutly no sign of diabetic retinopathy. My brother has been blind for 18 years, a non smoker unfortunatly for him.
Any other diabetics out there who have type 1 diabetes and after years of cannabis use still have eyes in excellent shape like mine.

[knottyganjagirl]

Eww!! I've been hoping to find some "fellow mmj-ers" :D

I have Fibromyalgia. Unfortuately I dont live in a "compassionate" state tho, so it's not "offical"...(although, I did get the "wink & nod" from my doctor)

I find that injesting mj works best to treat my pain...but smoking is best for my anxiety/panic attacks & the "blues" that go along w/ being in pain all the time. I'd love to meet some other "fibro-ites" if there's any out there...[I could use some guidence, I'm rather newly Dx-ed.]...or anyone using medicinally...I could also use some advice as to what strains work best for what symptoms...I hear that the Legend's strain, "ultimate indica" is great for pain...(as are most any indica dom. strain)...& I guess sativa's are best for "cheering you up"....Any opinions????


Have a peacefull weekend!!

Hello to everyone... My name is Rick Maughs the Author of Medical Marijuana Clinics 2004...
We helped 1,023 people get legal Last year if anybody needs to get legal get ahold of us by calling our hotline 1-800-851-3761
We are currently working with 109 Doctors and Clinics.
For more info: http://medicalmarijuanaguide.com/

If you would like to triple your yield. This could very much help the Medical Marijuana Growers.

Mycorrhizal application is brought to you by Rick Maughs the author of Medical Marijuana Guide 2004... See the difference that a mycorrhizal inoculation will make. IF YOU EVER GROW WITH IT ONCE YOU WILL NEVER GROW WITHOUT IT AGAIN... Go To MSN, GOOGLE or any Search engine and type in BUY MYCORRHIZAL...
Do I Need Mycorrhizae?

Medical Marijuana Guide 2004 mycorrhizal inoculants are used as amendments, injectables, hydroponics, and bare root preparations to inoculate plants and trees with live beneficial fungi when transplanting, and for treating established trees in decline. Humic acids, biostimulants, beneficial bacteria, sea kelp, yucca extracts and organic soil conditioners are added to promote rapid root development. To reduce transplant stress and increase watering maintenance up to 80%, and to slow release all soluable parts of our formulation 40 trace elements and micro nutrients are added. A 1/2 cup application applied to the root system will innoculate that plant for the duration of its life. To put it to you straight this one time inoculation will take you through three revegetation cycles of a mothers plant.

Medical Marijuana Guide 2004 mycorrhizal inoculants is a granular material containing mycorrhizal germination fungi that colonize roots and extend into the surrounding soil forming a essential link between plant and soil resources. About 80% of the worlds plant species form mycorrhiza with these beneficial endomycorrhizal fungi. Working together, beneficial mycorrhizal and tricoderma fungi expand into the surrounding soil and greatly increase the root's ability to absorb water, nutrients, improve yields and plant health.


General Discussion
Medical Marijuana Guide 2004 mycorrhizal inoculants are formulated as transplant soil amendments, injectables, and bare root preparations to inoculate landscape trees and shrubs, flower beds, established trees and shrubs and bare root seedlings with live beneficial mycorrhizal fungi. The inoculant contains highly selected strains of low host specificity endo- and ectomycorrhizae fungi that will quickly colonize the roots of new transplants to provide the best possible conditions for the roots to become mycorrhizal during the establishment period and beyond. The mycorrhizal inoculants are combined with humic acids, biostimulants, beneficial bacteria, soluble sea kelp, yucca plant extracts and organic soil conditioners to promote rapid root development. For convenience, consistency, and to reduce waste, transplant products are available in pre-measured, labeled bottles.

What Does Mycorrhizae Do
The full story of what effect mycorrhizal roots have on plants is still evolving. To date we know that some plants cannot live without mycorrhizal roots. We also know there are a few obscure plants that do not need mycorrhizae. Most brassicas, for example, which include broccoli, brussels sprouts, cabbage, and cauliflower do not associate with mycorrhizae. But the fact is that nearly all plant life is dependent on the association of mycorrhizae and plant roots. Mycorrhizae grow through the soil by extending its hyphea, which are the "roots" of the fungus, into the soil or soil-less application. These "roots" are extremely fiberious and engulf every tiny crack and cranny in the soil to absorb water, and nutrients in solution, and give this solution to the roots of the plant. We have seen up to 80% increase in plant roots and micro roots. Bringing you much more oxygen and nutrients to your plants life cycle!!!

The only food source for mycorrhizae comes from the plant. Thus, if anything begins to slow the food source, the mycorrhizae becomes more active, and aggressive, to feed its host - the roots of the plant. This is why plants in stressed conditions benefit from mycorrhizal roots. Regardless of the cause, i.e., drought, heat, high salt, wind burn, freeze, parasites, negative organisms, etc., mycorrhizae has evolved to bring relief to the plant. Mycorrhizae is a natural phenomenon.

To give you an idea of how mysterious this fungus is in 1996, the USDA Agricultural Research Service reported their findings on a study where young trees were planted next to mature trees. The scientist studied where the foods feeding the young trees was coming from. What they discovered was unexpected, yet very natural. A great deal of the food supplied to the young trees actually came from the mature trees through the transfer of foods at the hyphea level between the hyphea of the mature trees and that of the mycorrhizae associated with the young trees. Although no one has yet given good scientific fact for this to have occurred, isn't the parent feeding the child a natural, predictable phenomenon?

Why Inoculate
The reason we need to inoculate is because standard nursery and landscape practices have largely ignored this whole part of a complete plant system. Horticultural classes in our universities and technical schools give little attention to the topic of mycorrhizae - but this is changing rapidly. Commercially speaking our focus has been on quantity, not quality. Because of the pressure the typical nurserymen has to turn inventory, little, if any attention, has been given to the natural health of the plant. As a result of this viewpoint the nursery industry has been producing, and selling, plants that are not naturally complete. Because nearly all plants are not complete without the mycorrhizal association they are relatively fragile and can quickly die if not maintained intensively. We have this perfect system available to us but we have ignored it and instead employed billions of dollars in chemicals to control growth and predators.

Med User ... Grave's Opthamology (eye pressure) and anxiety .. works wonderfully. I've started using it instead of vicodin for pain as Im a bit sensitive to vicodin now.

[DarkKnightH20]

I think sometimes I am a med user, when I smoke because the anxieties are so overwhelming, and it quells the demons, but sometimes when I smoke, the anxieties become overbearing and nothing saves me.
Same here. I get anxiety attacks all the time.

[Sunbunny1980]

I am a MMJ user with a card in the state of Oregon. I grew up with my parents both using for recreational purposes only, but never had an interest in it. I saw how my parents used to buy their weed before they paid bills. Needless to say we moves around a lot. I met my husband in 1999, he was a former pot head, but got clean to join the Marine Corps. I was glad for that. I told him I didn't want him to start back up once he got out. I joined the Marine corps about 8 months after he did and while in I hurt my back and had a major flare up of Migraine headaches. I was on so many pills, none of them did any good. I had a lot of bad side effects so I stopped taking them altogether. I dealt with the pain. I got out of the Marines and one of my husbands friends turned me on to the idea of getting the MMJ card. Less side effects, but offers pain relief. So I tried it one day when I had a headache. It worked so I went and got my card. I don't use everyday, only when necessary, but when it is necessary I have to use quite a bit. My only problem now is I am having a hard time getting my crop growing. Had a 3 month set back last week. On top of that I can't seem to score any from the people I used to get it from, the area is dry. Plus I can't really afford the street cost. I wish we had dispensaries. I don't know if anyone else on this board lives in oregon that knows of someone that grows for MMJ users that sells it cheap. Any help would be appreciated.

I would like to know if anyone has had positive or negative results using cannabis for glaucoma or diabetic retinopathy. I would have thought there would be more medical information here from personal experience.
