Girlfriend says it's a "no-grow".
We don't have room or the money (especially for the lighting).
Well it makes your job harder...finding the right strain for you. I remember some discussions about nerve pain vs glaucoma and how one strain worked GREAT for the person with glaucoma while another worked TERRIFIC for someones back pain but didn't do shit for the guy with glaucoma. So its a matter of finding out WHICH one fits you.
Until I started growing myself I honestly had NO idea of just HOW MUCH difference there is between strains. Just from the growing experience I've learned TONS about the fact that there really ARE different strains for different stuff....and they really do work that way.
Your mission, should you accept it, is to educate your girlfriend on the many many, benefits, in so many, many ways of mj. Get her to peruse some of the links Granny made that are in the Marijuana and Health section as a sticky. Find a copy and have her read "The Emperor Wears No Clothes" by Jack Herer (I can send you a copy to an IM or something). Be subtle but make sure she understands that "the truth is out there". Above all, keep your humor, man. Laughter is the best medicine.
The really green stuff helps me the best. I figured that it's the sativa.
It's just like the fact that I have to seek the devil to be able to sleep, tonight.
I am going to be the nation's first ghost-grower. I'm going to have invisible pot growing on my walls.
I guess I kinda read that wrong. She's not anti-mj as much as just anti-grow. But that don't tell anyone thing should work (I hope) and I keep hearing how cops aren't interested in small growers but want to bring down money making grow-ops. I hope that's true. Good stealth can fool people standing right next to a grow cab. Oh, and right now Amazon has a 150W security lamp on sale for $50 w/ free shipping. That would do a whole grow and produce fine nugs. You'd probably have to take that baby apart but it ain't hard and there's directions on that around too.Quote:

Markass, I still am not sure which route I will take.
I will let God show me the way (in other words, I'll listen to my heart and wait for signs).
I too worry about renting. To ease my worries, I convinced the landlord into signing me into a lease(1yr). With that simple document, she must give me plenty of notice before entering my premises or sending someone to my residence(worker,inspector). I then followed a simple rule while building my room, Be sure I can dispose/disassemble of all this within 60 mins. It sounds like a race but its not really once you think about it.
I have a year-lease. I have a one-bedroom. I think, having a grow room is out of the question, now. Thanks, Zcomp. It's now a matter of someone else letting my girlfriend let me grow.
Even if you don't grow soon, start reading in the grow rooms. There's a lot to learn. Learning becomes an obsession and never ends and is always tweaking to get it a little better and cheaper. What you can grow far exceeds the best you can get on the street except for ridiculously priced shit.
I hope so. I'll read into the grow rooms because when I get hit by the next car, I'm suing for a house.
I went outside and above the Magnolia Tree, I saw Venus in the same position as the moon was, yesterday in the late afternoon hours.Quote:

Sorry to read of your hell BGIT!!!! I can relate on many levels being disabled myself. As far as the growing goes, think of this: The money spent on lights/etc. would be less than what you spend on bud now. Plus you can grow what you need for your medicating purposses as opposed to having to buy what's available. You do not need a ton of space to do small personal grows, actually very little room is needed. I may be able to help you get started as I have tons of expereince with micro grows. The initial investment can be as little as you want as you can add on later.
I hope things get better for ya fast BGIT, I hate to see this.:hippy::rasta:
Beachguy is exactly the reason that I wish I was a millionaire. Damn a bunch of pain and suffering to HELL! If i were to be fortunate enough to be rich, and have the money to actually physically help someone, BGIT would be the kind of person I would help FIRST. Someone who cannot help their situation and actually NEED the help, as oppossed to just lazy deadbeats wanting a handout.
Beachguy, damn, I wish there was something I could do. All I can offer are words of encouragement and to try and joke to maybe illicit a grin from you, when more is needed.
You know, Elton John said Jesus wanted to go to Venus as well, and leave Levon far behind. Remember that song? LOL... Even with your pain, you STILL have a sense of humor! God bless you my friend.
Oh, and when a car hits you again, get more than a house - get a car, and a boat, and a damned SleepNumber bed, while you are at it! (THAT was a CLASSIS response - I don't think you're brain-slow at all, LOL) Back to the Sleep Number for a sec - I hated to spend that much money on my budgeted income on the thing, but my back pain is over 50 percent better sleeping on that thing, and now that I've restarted my lungs for toking again, I'd say my back pain has been reduced 75 percent (when I am on the weed AND get a decent nights sleep!
My wife says I can't grow on my three acres or inside the house BECAUSE we own the house. Women. LOL...but what would we do without them, LOL? So I also have to find a place to grow. I am currently sneaking into all my neighbors houses while they are asleep and looking for somewhere to hide a grow room. No luck yet, he, he, he...
Stay strong, Beachguy! God bless you.
Thank you, Old Stoner! You know, I saw Elton John in concert.
If I were rich, you would've been smoking (again) long ago!!!
I saw Elton John too! In Atlanta at the Fox Theatre.
LOL, thanks for the weed karma, my friend. It is so nice to be able to toke up again - it's actuallu an honor. I love this shit - I am a recreational fool, LOL...
Okay, here's the update. I deal with the first two hours of the morning by stopping to apply a stress-technique, which I learned when I was younger. I remember seeing my brother doing it while laying on the bed, watching TV.
I don't know how this evolved into my life, but, it used to be done when I was extremely happy. Now I use it out of frustration. I clasp my hands and keep my fingers straight out. Then, as I'm gripping the webs in my hands, I shake my fingers as fast as I can (wiggle), tightening up my grip, then the muscles in my hands, my arms, shoulders, back, even tightening my face.
This takes a little hurt off of my leg, but, of course, after I'm done with that, I can feel pain on my left arm. But, this is nothing compared to my leg.
This helps me retain sanity. No word about any free advice, yet.
I call my mommy
:thumbsup:
I finally convinced her. It's taken me years to gain acceptance from my parents, and, still my dad goes into his heart palpations trying to understand something that he wasn't even in the state, of Virginia, when it was occuring.
Im clueless to how my reply for stress got put here but since Im here lets see
sorry about you delema I grew up in DC, kewl place!
dont have quick answers
keep searching never give up
ty
Lol. Thanks for trying!Quote:

I may have sounded a bit negative when I said it before, but I didn't mean for it to come out that way.. Suing the federal government is the _ONLY_ (legal; besides moving to another state) way to get what YOU need to survive, If you have a good enough lawyer, (may be difficult to find working pro bono) you _DO_ stand a chance. The US has the best lawyers, and they will manipulate the system to suit their needs.
I know a good bit about legal issues, so feel free to ask me anything you like. (If you want it to be private and not on the boards, rep me with your email :thumbsup:)
Edit: Sorry if anything doesn't make sense, I'm high.
I really, really should talk to a lawyer. There's one on the next block.
So go talk to him! It's a fairly good case, your life is at stake. Unless the jury is composed of 12 completely unsympathetic evil assholes, and if your lawyer does his job good enough, you will win. If you need help building a case, again, feel free to contact me.
I need to get it all together. Thanks, r0k.
I hope you do well. I'm sorry you have to fight to get relief. Iv'e enjoy reading your posts in the past. Maybe you should contact NORML, I think at the least they could advise you.
I've written, but, I never asked for anything, except Michael Krawitz forwarded a letter of mine to L.E.A.P. He wrote me five times.
I just told them my story.

Huh. I left for Wisconsin, last November. But, I'm back.
I grabbed my records from the first accident, and will take that with me to the lawyer.
I don't fully grasp that, and have never tried to figure it in to why cannabis helps me.Quote:

So, I went to cannabis.com.
I decided my new goal is to write music for the Virginia Beach Symphony Orchestra to play.
The fifth post contained a mis-quote. Micheal Krawitz said, "Why would you want to lose Virginia?", not leave.
Well, another month in the hole has forced me to cut off our phone, cable, and, possibly, the internet.
I've written Montel Williams.
Wish me luck!
yeh unfortunatly our wonderful governmnet removed the loophole that allowed people to get federal medical exemptions back in the 80's when we were getting tough on drugs. as part of whatever totaly unconstitutional, bullshit bill they signed to kill it they grandfathered in the 12 or 17 (cant remember) people nation wide that had aquired federal permits to smoke cannabis so they wouldnt sue them AGAIN.
im not clear on it but the former loophole was known as "medical nessecity" try googling it. there is a documentary they show on showtime called "in pot we trust" where they interview some of the patients and discuss the medi situation in america.
if you cant move then just keep it in your house. it would take a total asshole cop to bust you for using cannabis for a legitimate medical use (wich i asume is visably evident if you need a cane and have brain damage). just be very courtius and explain it.
also, im going to let you in on a little secret that practicly nobody knows; you dont need to live in a "medical marijuana" state to get a perscription, just a state with a medical clause written into its laws and a really cool doctor. see, in some states the laws that criminalizes drugs or cannabis sppecificly say " ...without the recomendation of a doctor" right at the end. sometimes its a blanked clause that defines the possesion of all drugs, sometimes its the cannabis law specificly. i know new jerseys laws are like that, and so are new yorks. thats why select doctors in new york city have been perscribing cannabis for seriously ill or elderly patients for over a decade and new york state has no medical marijuana program. obviously it is much harder to aquire than in a full blown medical state, but if you have a legitimate, serious illnes and you do some searching for a compasionate doctor you might be able to get a perscription in your state.
Excellent work! Thank you.Quote:

I suffer pain on my "good" side, which I received after a Traumatic Brain Injury. I have contacted a number of people, and, now I need to know if there is anything, in the Virginia lawbooks, which makes it possible for me to gain a prescription. I have moved out-of-state, but, because of my disabilities, could not support myself. If it is possible for you to help me out, I'll be able to find a way out of this daily frustration. I am coming to the end of my rope. I keep getting further and further away from having a goal in life. I am thirty-two years old, was nineteen when the T.B.I. occured (came out of the coma, paralyzed on my strong-side), and, was twenty-seven when permanent pain was introduced to my left-side (which, incidentally, carried my strong-side for the previous eight years). I have even written Montel Williams. I need help finding a way to get a prescription. My primary-care physician knows that cannabis helps me, and, the O.D., M.D., who tried to heal the pain, knows that cannabis is the only thing that works, but, I have have to, "Keep it on the down-low, other than that, there's nothing more he can do for me," which is the same thing that a Neurologist said. Please contact me, as I am currently waiting for direction from anyone. Thank you.
Previously, in this thread, I had said that business managers were trying to cut my MEDICAL EXPENSES, but, things worked out to where I've surpassed that.
I'm still broke. I'm still waiting for an award to be granted, from when I had to go to court to prove that my double-vision is from the accident which put me into a coma. The award is that an ophthalmologist must keep me under his care, until it is fixed (which will be never).
I may have to sue the Federal Student Aid program because they've been giving me problems for several years.
Well, they gave me a pair of $500 glasses and sent me home. This thread was nearly useless. I am, now, doing what I asked if I should do at the beginning of this thread, which is, writing my representative. This will be my fifth letter to her, and, I will be asking her if i have to sue the federal government or if they can send me an application for pot.
Words can't express this: ////*/**-//
Good luck.
