@jennsprung Thank you for your info – I am in FL where they have not
passed the laws yet. I would not know how to get hold of anything and
asking for a prescription I will think about, but those meds are very
expensive. You explained it for me, however. It would be the sublingual I
would need when it gets thru our legislature. from @ladyjane85
It is currently legal in 5 States. Colorado, Washington, Alaska, Oregon and California for medicinal use. You would need to look into each state individually to see how it works as there will be different rules for procurement. I’m in Canada- our laws are different here. A script is required, and then you wait for an official licence from the government. Then it has to be purchased from a licenced repository. You can’t just buy it from the street corner.

If the choices are between pain or losing a fell brain cell I will take the marijuana and lose a few cells which by the way we lose functions and cognitive functions as we get older. I do not think it is rapid enough to be a problem but pain untreated can give you immediate cognitive loss and physical discomfort immediately and with dreadful consequences

I second the geneyic testing. I used a test by Assurex. They will cover it on a sliding scale if your insurance won’t. Maximum out-of-pocket expense is $300. Medicare covers it. I got all kinds of info on how my body responds to pain meds, seizure dugs, anti- anxiety meds, adhd drugs, bipolar meds, antidepressants, etc. It also details any imperfections in your liver enzyme profile. All you need is a cheek swab and a doctor or psychiatrist to go over results with you. It was extremely helpful.
That is correct. 4000 mg acetaminophen is the maximum intake per day. Even going over this amount just once can cause damage or create the need for a transplant. Many of my meds contain tylenol, so my doc suggested not using extra strength tylenol, or only taking 1 at a time. Keep track of daily acetaminophen intake if you take opiods, fioricet, and multi-symptom cold/cough medicines. It adds up fast!

Mix any essential oils with a pure base oil, like coconut, before ingesting even one drop. Some oils can be very irritating to your mouth or system. Peppermint oil is helpful for pain as well as gastrointestinal issues. I get migraines from odors, however. So I use a roll-on applicator on the bottom of my feet. It is absorbed extremely efficiently, while keeping the strongest smells as far away from my nose and brain as possible. Good luck!

With my conditions of epilepsy, migraine headaches, pharmacology and
depression prior to my cancer diagnosis and hospice; plus 3rd. stage kidney
disease “I turned the thought of any Marijuana use down, before it had
reached the success it did with Canniblis oil and justifiably so!! When I
can read with significant reseach relative to my health conditions that
“marijuana use before 50 is ok in treating certain conditions, but after 50
can be detrimental, I ask the following? How many are aware that with
marijuana use, they are actually losing certain brain elements, that (being
young–50 or less; most systems can rebuild.” Add that to 50 and above,
when our lives and systems have slowed down in their operation, your not
going to have the systematic tools to rebuild what marijuana has taken
away; since your living and growing at a slower pace.
Many neurologists I’ve also read, have refused to sign on with the
treatment this way. With a doctors training, schooling and experience in
their field or endeavor, many still don’t accept the fact that it has
proven itself as valid as some say. Look at this analogy: “dependant on
the difference between all of our systems and their operations, if you make
a mistake with the brain, there’s no turning back to correct any damage
done.” Think about it.
