Extreme Back Pain advice appreciated

So I started smoking pot when i was 16 and quit when i was 18 and I only smoked about a bowl a day if even that. I was never going to skateboard high all the time so i gave up weed for a sport i love. Well as it happens 6-8 months back I tried to grind a handrail and landed on the end kink of it right on the lower back. Ever since i havn't been able to skate get a job or do anythink without extreme pain in my lower back so i Ebay and play video games to make a living i'm about to see a docter sometime within the next few weeks. I smoked some weed a couple weeks back and the pain was greatly reduced. I live in colorado and pills like vikodin and over the counter stuff doesn't work for me so is there any way for me to become a medical mariuana patient? Plz comment if you have any thoughts at all. I'm NOT a pot head i just found something that works and i will smoke and grow cannabis but if possible i don't wanna break laws and go to jail for medicating myself

here's where you can read about colorado marijuana laws - Colorado - NORML

colorado has medical marijuana laws enacted so you're in luck ;)

personally, i use sativas for my own lower back pains. does wonders, way better than vicodin or anything like that.

Wow just what i was looking for. This site has tons of info thanks for the link. Yup i'ma see the doc this week and buy some seeds specify for medical use. ( I can understand back pain like this when i'm 50 but not when i'm 20) If someone can just tell me the best kind of seed to buy this thread will be closed. Thanks

There are many care groups in Colorado..mainly in Denver, North Denver and Colorado Springs...Michael Lee runs a clinic there and is licensed by the local law and state registery..if you need any help, PM me..

I been were you are going...:thumbsup:

Pot is really good for pain managment. Taking a vicodin helps but it is a nasty drug to take every day. Colorado has mmj so you are in luck now all you have to do is look for a recomendation.

Pain killers dont work for me either,My doctor was really cool.Since I had on my health records all my meds I took and that it wasnt working,it was pretty easy to get my card.

THCF has clinics in Colorado.
