Dilemma

[Totah Sam]

Well, I'm registered, have my card and am off the prescription meds. But, no one has cannabis. So, do I hold out and let the meds get out of my system and deal with the withdrawals until there is some available or do I get back on the meds and play the waiting game (jeopardy theme not included)?

I'm not into buying illegally. That just makes we waaaay too paranoid. Plus I don't know anyone that sells (being a good little Mormon boy) and I wouldn't buy if I did. I want to be 100 percent legal.

Stuck between a rock and a hard place. I guess I can get back on the meds and deal with the side-effects. ::sigh:: Come on New Mexico. Get on the ball. We need more dispensaries.

That sucks! I think I would try stepping down your dose rather then just stop taking your med's. Depending on what they have you on this can be a very difficult process.
As far as MMJ goes I really cant help you being out of state but if you were in Colo I could give you a hook up with someone.

Good Luck!

Check your local Craigslist. You might find a grower with extra meds from their own grow.

Hi Totah Sam,

Would you be so kind as to tell us the overall attitude of the Mormon Church and/or membership, when it comes to MMJ.

I met a few Mormons when my car broke down in Utah. They seemed very nice. At the time, I didn't have any reason to consider MMJ, so I didn't think to ask such a question.

Are the Mormons a large voting block here? I hope so if they are for MMJ. :hippy:

I respect you as a man,but you need to get past your religious brainwashing.

You have PTSD right Sam? You have to be real careful how you do this. This suggestion sounds aiiiight to me,rather than dropping all of your meds. If I did that I'd end up in jail or the hospital. Be careful man,really,things can change around you that you won't even notice before it's too late.I DO speak from experience,be well.

[McLuvin]

Dude if the medicine you are on is psychotropic rather then percocet or some other narcotic I would seriously listen to what Chance has to say.
PTSD can trigger at anytime anywhere and without the right meds in your system you could lose it.
If you are having a problem with the med's and the side effects I advise you to see your doctor about changing meds. But do not just stop taking them.
This can lead to a very dark place. I know, I've been there.

BTW, please don't take this wrong, I'm not trying to be an ass, but I have always wondered if there is any truth to the South Park episode about Mormons? Do they really believe that John Smith read the book of Mormon from seer stones in a hat?

The church, being the bastion of conservatism in the southwest, is against legalizing Cannabis. However, having a medical card and following the laws of the state is merely frowned upon.

What can I say coolslayer - I'm a Mormon through and through. :P

Thanks Chance, that's great advice.

McLuvin - it was Joseph Smith and the process was a little more complicated than that. *LOL*

[McLuvin]

Joseph Smith, my bad... Thanks for having a good sense of humor bro!

Sam,

I am in agreement with you on being 100% legal. Some of the kind folks here have given me some sage wisdom in achieving that goal.

HOWEVER, PLEASE be VERY CAREFUL with removing yourself from your medication cold turkey. I have attempted that with some of the medications that I was on and it could have potentially ended in a very bad way.

I really encourage you to speak with your doctor on this. Let him/her know your concerns and that you want to be off of them.

I just want you to be careful!!!!

Take care buddy.....you are in my thoughts here!!!!
