We are moving to a legal state for my hubby. It helps his cramps and makes him hungry. My brother lives in a legal state and actually got it for his breathing. He uses a vaporizor that does not compust the pot, but releases the medicine within. Also, he uses oils. My husband did well while there and has went down hill without. Most states, including this backward one we live in, have special rules for glacoma and dystroyfies. Any doctor who can perscribe class one narcatics can give you pot.
I for one, think anything that will give my husband another day is a good thing. Since you can't od on marijuana and it is a natural substance, I am all for it. I have read the horror stories of different drugs, but have not found anything bad on pot. For those of you who still believe in "Reefer Madness" try to watch "Super High Me" and look on tv for programs about marijuana. It is not a gateway drug that my parents told me of.
I noticed the report didn't show up. But you can look at it on norml.org and it basically says that THC keeps your nerve endings working, when ALS stops them. If you want to try the brownies, you have to make butter first. Look on youtube and find marijuana butter. Be sure to use the recipes that only use water and butter. The butter can then be used as regular butter, just don't let kids eat it.
I am amazed that there is something to help with ALS and our federal government is not making sure it's availivaible to all with ALS. It is a bonus that it is a cash crop, but when it comes down to it, it helps prolong life in my ALS husband. Before we went to the legal state, his left hand was gone. After a couple of days of THC, he got the use of that hand back. Now that we are back in a non-compationate state, he's lost his left hand. It is killing him to live here. He's 22 years of Army and I think he should be able to get WHAT EVER he thinks he needs no matter where he lives.
We hope to move within 6 months. I do have info for those of you who live in compationate care states on how to grow. We have studied this subject for over a year. ht.com has a great library of books and videos on how to grow. Also 420.com is another good info site.
My father was against pot. Until he was dying with cancer. Then he found out that pot would help him without messing up his head or stomach. It eased his pain and helped him eat when nothing else did.
