It is no longer legal in SC where I live, but I was prescribed Maribol (I think), which is a synthetic marijuana, to stimulate my appetite after surgery because I was losing weight rapidly. It worked great for that, but was also the best pain killer I have ever used. If our legislature and intolerant society would get over the idea that everyone who ever touches marijuana becomes an out of control pothead and then starts using cocaine and heroin and LSD, we would have a plentiful supply of pain killing medication that no one has ever OD'ed from, but I likely will not live that long. Yes @oldkarl, my neuropathy is from diabetes and is still very minor compared to many. I have only been an insulin dependent diabetic since I lost a third of my pancreas and the beta cells residing there.

@gman007 Ignorance seems to reign in the a plutocratic realm where anything that can palliate pain and suffering surely must be outlawed. No matter what, there are always those who abuse that set the rules for the others.

@parus I had to get my dictionary out to make sure I knew what you were saying, but you are spot on. jk about the dictionary as I appreciate a strong vocabulary and attempt to expand mine whenever possible. Thank you.
