Guest guest Posted February 1, 2007 Report Share Posted February 1, 2007 There is no point in suffering. If you can get it. Use it. Particularly at night before bed. Turn off that stupid stress inducing TV Turn on the nice soft music, take a hit or two turn off the lights and snuggle up. Sweet Dreams. I have written to all my senators and representatives and all I ever got back from any and all of them is a stupid, thoughtless, empty, ignorant " form letter " stating the " evils " of marijuana use and " public policy " . Some form letters pointed out that there is " no medical evidence " supporting its effectiveness. Yet all the medical evidence I have read states otherwise. Particularly the European studies indicating that the compounds in THC actually reduce the inflammation associated with arthritis..... IF ONLY, these ignorant, reckless, thoughtless, incompassionate politicos should live in our bodies for a few weeks.... (Acually we all know it would only take a few hours for them to get the message, but I'm a mean ol' redneck) My family and friends know that I use this alternative form of pain management and they ALL support it. I've always said, if I get busted I'll take it all the way to the Supreme Court....if can get there, so can I. " Your character is your destiny.

Guest guest Posted February 1, 2007 Report Share Posted February 1, 2007 This subject came up last year and someone said it would take only a drag or two to make a difference in pain level. I managed to find some brownies and I ate a couple of pieces. Apparently they were made using a boxed mix and a handfull thrown in dry. It did nothing for me painwise. I still have them in the freezer because I'm too lazy to throw them out. Does it make a difference in how it's injested or what?

Guest guest Posted February 2, 2007 Report Share Posted February 2, 2007 I have nothing against marijuana morally or ethically. However, as one with asthma, I wouldn't smoke ANYTHING. I would be concerned that while the other properties of marijuana might or might not be helpful, that it might not be wise to smoke something when we have a disease like RA which we know can affect the lungs, and also take meds that can adversely affect the lungs. > > There is no point in suffering. > > If you can get it. > Use it. > > Particularly at night before bed. > Turn off that stupid stress inducing TV > Turn on the nice soft music, > take a hit or two > turn off the lights > and snuggle up. > > Sweet Dreams. > > I have written to all my senators and representatives and all I ever got > back from any and all of them is a stupid, thoughtless, empty, ignorant " form > letter " stating the " evils " of marijuana use and " public policy " . > Some form letters pointed out that there is " no medical evidence " supporting > its effectiveness. > Yet all the medical evidence I have read states otherwise.

Guest guest Posted February 2, 2007 Report Share Posted February 2, 2007 I was told indirectly by my rheumatologist that it was very helpful for a lot of her patients and it is the most helpful for me as well. My rheumy also told me that it is one of the best things for inflammation. For those of us who have lungs problems it's definately not a good idea, but for me who has never had a chance to be in remission as of yet, it has hslped me keepo my sanity.

Guest guest Posted February 2, 2007 Report Share Posted February 2, 2007 I agree, . Smoking anything, tobacco or marijuana, is probably not a good idea if one has RA or another rheumatic disease.

It may not be " wise " to smoke w/ RA but I suppose " wise " depends on one's perspective. I would much rather have a shorter but much better quality of life than a longer, drawn-out poorer, agonizingly painfilled, miserable quality of life.

Guest guest Posted February 2, 2007 Report Share Posted February 2, 2007 In reality it's much better if you eat it, the effect is less phsycological and there's no damage to your lungs.

Guest guest Posted February 2, 2007 Report Share Posted February 2, 2007 Marijuana is a classic example of politicians getting involved in things that should be the realm of scientists. It hasn't been very long that politicians relented and have allowed research to be done on marijuana. As far as people using it as a 'gateway' drug into deadlier drugs. I've worked with clients who were addicted to heroin, cocaine, alcohol, crystal meth, marijuana and a myriad of other drugs. I do not see that happening, I do see it with crystal meth and people into experimenting with drug in general recreationally. If I have to work with a client on drugs, I'll take the pothead anyday, even over the alcoholic who is abusing the legal drug of alcohol. People using marijuana just tend to be nicer. Longer term, heavy use of marijuana does tend to make them a bit forgetful or it could be that they were that way to begin with. California, where I am from, does have 'legal' medicinal use marijuana. The DEA doesn't see it that way and busts the shops regularly. Yeah, like a bunch of cancer patients are a threat to the moral fiber of society. Like I said in the beginning, it's a classic example of politicians getting involved with something that should be the realm of scientists. > > : You are right.

Guest guest Posted February 2, 2007 Report Share Posted February 2, 2007 If lung disease was a quick and easy way out, I might agree with you. But having seen it, it's a long and miserable way to go. Not a trade-off I'd want to make. --- In , " shauna4343 " <Shauna4343@...> wrote: > > --- In , " Randall " <krandall@> wrote: > > > > I have nothing against marijuana morally or ethically.
