I dont think that we are going to have to stand up .... IF we can that is .... I talked to the lady that runs the program and she said that they were planning on adding an amendment that allows them to approve cases on an individual basis . She said this would allow them to approve cases for people in pain . She gave me the example that One person with arthritis might need the meds (cannabis type ) because of severe pain but ALL people with arthritis would not be allowed or a whole lot of people would show up with arthritis .

As for only allowing this for a small number of specific problems . Chronic severe pain like we are suffering from is a severe and specific condition . People with aids can live for indefinate amounts of time cant they ? Are they suffering in pain during those years ? What makes aids any worse than the extreme pain that I feel in my lower torso / groin area ? I would submit that pain is the Number one qualifier for this type of medicine . IF a person is suffering in a life of pain , give that person what they need to at least have a life that is not filled with suffering and potentially worth living . I realise that this isnt the case in this one specific state ( oddly enough )


As for recieving morphine , My doctor is pretty anal about giving me these pain meds . There is no chance that he would give me morphine and he makes me feel like I am " lucky " to even be getting these drugs . I am surprised that you have found a doctor that will give you as much pain medicine as you could possibly want .
