Cannabis

I have MS and I currently use MMJ to relieve a range of symptoms from the mind not shutting down at night, to a constant tremor, to loosening the stiffness that stems from a scared nervous system (have you ever been to the movie theater? If you've been into a movie it is possible your body may have been sitting perfectly still for a period of time that, when you go to stand you may need to take a stretch... I live in this 'stretched' state most of the time).

To be honest, while having the symptoms of MS are never gone - nothing is going to reverse the damage to my system, the MMJ has a valuable benefit for me in that for a moment my body is not reacting to the surroundings as drastically as it does; if it is cold out, I can take some meds and be able to stand the cold a little less stiffly than when not medicated.

So, really the only thing MMJ does for me is that a temporarily buffer of the "barbed-wire-in-my-skin" that is there all the time, 24 hours a day, and never goes away nor will it get any better...

It is a slight betterment of my life I cannot explain completely. And sadly, this only feels like a dying man's final days and he can only stand it if he has the meds from the doctors, however in this case it is a natural substance rather than a highly refines and highly concentrated man-made substances. It's a personal choice and I liken it to a woman's right to choose what goes into or out of their bodies. No man would for a moment accept government telling us how to use our penises... why is the vagina any different? (I don't really care to hear the claims...)

There is many many sights with plenty of websites out there dedicated to the MMJ, if you wanted to search for something called Granny Storm Crow’s List, it has too many papers for any on person to thoroughly review, but because it is a searchable document it is possible to really find good detail on specific information... provided you are technically knowledgeable in the medical fields noted within the doc.

In my view, there really will not be any real documentation until research is able to be completed in the United Sates, but for some reason the research needed is only trickling out to the public, and unfortunately for me I lack the PhD to do the research I'd like to see done myself.

So, I thank the process, California and an earlier version of myself (In 94/95 I was an advocate and collected signatures for the Prop 215 Compassionate Use Initiative (which was not perfect at all, but makes it possible for me to express my right to have the product that I have while expressly retaining all other rights afforded me by the United States Constitution. I say I thank my fellow man for making this available, however it is not the happy go lucky road that everyone might think. I am no longer getting "high" as I did even 10 years ago - it used to be I'd take the first hit after going without for a while and immediately feel the effects of the THC and CBD content of my supplied flower. These days, I am trying to keep my THC/CBD levels at a base in order to keep the barbed-wire and muscle-stiffness feelings at bay while I try to conduct something one would call a decent life.

Unfortunately for me, I started out with somewhat limited room in my brain for the differences between the differing strains that are available. I do know that there is a difference between Indica and Sativa strains. Indica would be the strain that used to leave me and my friends in the couches for hours to recover enough to move, while the Sativa is one that I often associate with a night out under the stars with friends wondering out loud the questions of the universe. It is that curious, inquisitive, creative, thought-provoking kind of high that might lead one to a great discovery.

For me, these days, the difference would only be in the sensation of my eyes getting droopy under the indica while normal under sativa.

Hope this note helps. If you have any questions and if this thread delivery system works I can answer what I can.

Until then Cheers,
Jingy

I just remembered this site, which is a new site dedicated to making the latest research available to the public
