I am not sure about the medical mj (I know it's not legal in SC)  but there is a

drug out there called Marinol that is made from pot and it is a legal

prescription in most states. It is considered a controlled substance ---It has

the same effect basically - you are just swallowing a gel pill  instead of

smoking. If your doc won't prescribe the medical mj - ask about the marinol

I made an appt with a new ortho surgeon and received a packet of stuff in the

mail to fill out and take with me when I go for first appt. There is a full

page letter in it to patients saying that he will not prescibe narcotics at all

and if you agree to let him treat you, you cannot take any pain pills prescribed

by another doctor. It says he feels there are other ways to deal with pain

besides becoming hooked on narcotics. (Wonder if he'll give me a script for

weed!!!! lololol) It also says he does not prescribe Xanax and will not allow

patients to take it.

I think he and I will have a talk. He may not feel that I need pain meds for

what he's treating me for but he has to take into consideration that I also have

RA and FMS, Anxiety, Depression, bursitis, chostochondritis and a brain tumor!

And if he operates on my neck, I will relieve the pain some how! This

relationship may not last long.....
