Painkillers that come with nasty side effects such as Nausea, Constipation, Appetite loss, and a constant feeling of being sick. To treat the Nausea, they gave me an IV of anti-nausea medication, which didn't do jack shit. They apparently have a medicine for every ailment, but one after another, it comes with a different side effect that makes my pain worse.

Now since marijuana is a pain-killer, I don't see why it has no medicinal value. I have no doubt in my mind if I had marijuana instead, I wouldn't be having such painful side effects. I wouldn't be constipated, I wouldn't have Nausea, I would be eating properly, I wouldn't feel so goddamn sick.

The truth of the matter is marijuana would make many of the drugs on the hospital obsolete and rendered useless. I'm convinced. After all, at the moment, I have private consultants deciding what drugs are best for me. The truth of the matter is, marijuana or hashish could and will do more wonders for me than Morphine, Fentanyl, Dahlia, Ibuprofin, or anything they came come up with.

To say it wouldn't improve my current medical condition is really insulting, and I understand what medical marijuana patients go through now. It's amazing the new perspective gained after contracting a life-threatening disease.
Do you even know the meaning of the word ignorance? I have sympathy for your condition and all, but that is such an incredible minority its not even funny. The vast majority of the world are smoking pot to get high, nothing else.. they do not have your rare condition in which they are all looking to use marijuana as the only way to alleviate themselves.

I've been sick at times too, and I've smoked and it made it all better. Its sort of like the high feeling far overtakes the original sick condition, which is why it works so well. But its hard to justify getting high as a medical treatment.

i think it really is sad the way the government does these things... saying stuff like "medical marijuana is a myth created by potheads to try to get this terrible thing legalized"....all the lies and such... just makes me sad
How is it a lie? All it would take is some simple browsing of this forum to find an endless amount of people who have absolutely no medical conditions, that still push for medicinal marijuana in order for a broader regulation of it. The DEA knows this, and have made it clear that its obviously not going to make any serious impact when it comes to legalizing marijuana. So i think its foolish to still be banking on it. The fact is, most of the world is smoking marijuana to get high, nothing else. I'll say that time and time again.
