I have a condition called a hiatal hernia. And a bad case of it. Basically, my esophagus is pinched between a hole in my diaphragm. Pretty much what it does is put me in the most pain and discomfort that I have ever felt, every minute I am awake. I was put on a medicine called protonix. It worked great at first, but quickly quit working. The only thing that helps 100% is cannabis. I learned what I already knew(that it helps) on a medical website that put this condition on a list of conditions treatable by cannabis. The THC dilates the diaphragm, which relieves the pressure on my esophagus. The city I go to school in not only legalized medical marijuana, but even decriminalized all possession under 35 grams; great right! The only problem is that my parents have know that I smoked, and tell me they will test me, and will quit helping me pay for school if I fail. It sucks and I really don't know what to do. If I smoke, I'm fine. Otherwise, I get the most pain anyone could ever imagine.

I'm wondering if anyone else uses cannabis for medical purposes and if so, does your family have any problems with it?
