Hi Nursegirl, yes I sometimes feel pathetic, but not because I smoke. I'm a medical user (also enjoy being high). I feel pathetic when I fall in the shower, when my hands or legs shake uncontrolably, when I can't sleep because of leg spasms. MJ helps with some of my symptoms. It also helps with the naseua that one of my "legal" medications cause. If you think smoking makes you feel pathetic, think about how you'ld feel if you lost control of your bladder due to muscle weakness and tremors. Just my 2 cents. Best of holidays to you and yours,..............Kuu
