Hi Kazzie, I rely on the stuff. I don't think I could cope without it to be honest. Yeh, its not for everyone but I find it helps a lot!

Hiya Kazzie,

I haven't had it since in my teens (26 now!) But i have been having a really crap time of recent and having trouble sleeping etc.. and my mate came round last week and gave me a present lol(spliff) and it's the best night sleep i have had in months and i am seriously considering getting more.
Like verity said it's not for everyone. Take care

P.s if you don't want it in a brew put it in some cakes ;)

Oh god, dont feel guilty! Theres nothin wrong with the stuff. Better than any painkillers Ive had. Plus you dont build up such a large tolerance to it so you get the same effect every time : )

Yeah it's a well known remedy for Arthritis pain !! Sadly even the smell of it makes me retch. When I was about 14 I went to a dance place [ you know the ones older members ] where they just played records and just sold soft drinks. Anyway I was with my older cousin and the place was full of yellowish smoke. When we got on the bus to go home I just started vomiting. Cousin said oh! must have been the weed smoke at the dance !! I said what's that ? [ I was VERY naive ]. Got back home when I was still being sick so Mum made me go outside and gave me a right roasting for supposebly drinking !! I hadn't had alcohol at all !! DOH !!!!!
So like I say I wish I could try it but I smoke fags as well. Don't what I'd do without me fags and cuppa Tea.

Ok, Ive smoked a dfew in the past, just for a giggle, when out with m8s, made my throat so sore, so i use to chew it, cant say it did much for me, but do remember seeing huge big spiders climbing the wall, appprently had some of the black stuff? the only reason Y i wldnt take it is I dont wannna end up relying on it and ending up pararnoid....now i know that happens, cos ive had plenty m8s(close ones at the time ten years ago) and by god they were so angry, paranoia was the prob, if a person looked at my m8s they wld cause a frigging fight lololol...anyway, each to their own, if it helps ya go for it, been thinking about getting some and having a good old chew, kinda like the taste, that way the kids dont know ive got it!! lolol...

Hi,

My doctor actually suggested I try it and I did smoke it for quite a while before bed so my muscles relaxed which had a great effect on my joints. I dont now due to other drugs prescribed drugs i'm taking which tend to make me feel sick and woozy so the combination is not great. I think anything is worth a try though to ease the pain x

Well its kind of contraversial as it is illegal so not sure if you should mention it to your nurses lol if it works it works.

What other meds are you taking if you dont mind me asking?

See what everyone else says re telling nurses hun, my doc was the one who suggested it to me so I was ok discussing itwith him x

There are a few states in the good ol' US of A who actually precribe and dispense marijuana !! Incredible !! And I think in Canada you are allowed to buy it as long as it's just for your own use. A guy I know has had lots of back surgery and he swears it's the only painkiller that works for him and lets him sleep. Who knows ? but as said it's illegal but it seems a shame really as it seems to help a lot of people who are in agony most of the time. I'm sure I've read somewhere you can get it in tablet form from the GP's - or have I just dreamt that ???? Tee Hee

Hey Kazzie, do you like cooking? If not its still ded simple! All you need is one of those brownie or cookie mixes from the supermarket. If you stick an 8th of weed in it before its cooked it does the trick nicely (or just do it a few times and see how much suits you). Im not a big fan of eatin it coz I find i feel a bit emotional the next day (i prefer to smoke). But its pretty good ; )
Where abouts are you in the country hun?

Hi Verity, glad it is working for you. It seems very quick. Guess we are used to things taking a long time to kick in. I'm having a flare up at moment - or am I forever in one long flare up? lol!! Shoulders really bad today but have been eating a lot of rhubarb. My mother said she couldn't eat it but she had osteo nor inflammatory. Will try a day off from it and see what happens. Shame if I can't eat it as have tons on my allotment and I love it.
