The definition of a migraine is a headache with no obvious cause (like a tumor) and no cure. There is also quite a lot of information online from credible sources that suggests marijuana is a good form of relief for migraines.
Of course Cannabis will help with migraines it can either lower or raise your blood pressure (did you know it could do both?) Don't get hostile with me for giving you my opinion. I know very well what a migraine is and for the record, a brain tumor would be an obvious reason for migraines...and probably would qualify you for an MMJ card. The point i was making was that you do not (around here anyway) get medical marijuana consideration for simple pain, there needs to be a diagnosis to go with it. Generally pain is caused from something...whether you know what that something is or not is another issue.

Unfortunately that's not true because it shows blatant abuse of a system that is in place for people that need it, not people that just want it. That is why the medicinal fight is being lost amongst the propaganda because people take this attitude of it's "my right to smoke it legally,especially if i'm in pain."
It's your right to smoke it sure, especially if you're in pain ...but it's the governments place to say who and what laws are bent and why.
If you have other medical issues that are aided by the cannabis than that should be addressed also...perhaps all of these things are due to something that hasn't been diagnosed yet. Until you're diagnosed with whatever it is that's causing the pain your fight for medical acceptance will be a big one. That's how it is here and Canada has been considered more pot friendly than the States.
My uncle is still struggling to get medical marijuana acceptance and he has many diagnosed illnesses that would obviously qualify him (MS,glaucoma,epilepsy). Even then it is a struggle to find a doctor that is willing to get involved with that aspect of "medication" because of the increasingly hostile political atmosphere.

However don't patronize me for giving you my opinion because yours stinks just as bad.

Best of luck with your medical mission.

Bob.
