I've been looking for a job and I'm hoping to move out west to the golden land of medical marijuana... because like people have been saying, it really blows to be a patient. I've actually had a doctor at one of the pain clinics at UPMC tell me, when I admitted to him that I smoke, that "most of the patients I see wish they could smoke and would probably benefit from it, but they don't have the connections you have." [That was until this summer, when all my good connections went away] I hate that my insurance will pay for the Vicodin and Darvocet I've been taking constantly since I was 15 without a second thought, but that I've had to take on a second job in college to pay for weed because it's the only thing that gets the pain down enough that I can sit up to focus on my schoolwork for the insane amounts of time that CMU demands. Grr.
