I have been having migraines for 17 years - since I was 11. At 14 they started injecting me with something everytime one started coming on...at 19 I tried hypnosis....at 22 I had this laser surgery that did nothing but cause anxiety...at 25 it finally dawned on me that the only time I could guarantee to be pain free was to smoke a joint as I felt the pain moving n (many sufferers feel or sense the onset of a migraine). This is my excuse for not having a *real* job. I don't do 9-5...I write weekly and I do public relations on a contract basis. I need to basically have the freedom where if I feel the onset of pain, I can stay home, smoke a little and not worry about missing a days work.

I have, on occasion, been without anything to smoke and so I endure headaches that last up to 5 or 6 days.

Anyone who has a license to smoke as a result of these symptoms, you deserve it. I have never applied...mainly because finding an approving dr where I live could be near impossible, and I have no real history with any dr's outside my city. I'll be satisfied buying it and getting occasionally ripped off by punks...this is easier than fighting the system for somethig I believe I deserve, but which would prolly run me a long fight, and way too much public knowledge - I don't know what my clients would think of it, as I assume many of them do not smoke marijuana....
