Who has tried Cannabis? for pain or spasms

[bass60]

I can't believe no one has brought this up!

only when in amsterdam, helped the spasms I get in my left arm a lot but made me a bit paranoid too.  A good friend of mine from way back in school days has used regularly for many years now and he is noticably affected by it, I'm not going to be trying it again soon, but others with SCI get great benefit I'm sure

Never tried it and don't intend to start.
I have heard all the arguments for and against it.
However, at the end of the day it is still ilegal and still addictive.

Alot less addictive than the drugs the Dr's pushs!
 
 Sure its not legal!
But after being addicted to pain drugs and other drugs and DEALING with all the side affect from these drugs for the past 12years.
One way or another I wasn't going to feel dope sickness just because I'm and hour late taking my drugs!
It got to the point that these drugs numb my mine so much. I was close to calling it game over!
I findly had enough!
And no I'm not in a MMJ State.
Legal or not My Dr's know what strains I'm taking and how much.
You have to be honest with your Dr! or they are just guessing on how to help you!

Everyone has the same choices in life - some choose to do some choose not to do.
Writing as a human first and not a doctor, I can imagine the reaction if I told my doc I was smoking cannabis.

Indeed a neighbour of mine was arrested a few years ago for growing this in the back garden.

I shall stick with what I have got. I am not addicted to my present drugs - only taking them when needed.

I won't say anymore on this one as some are for and some against. That decision is your personal one to make. I have made mine.

i tried it a few times when my neck was at a level 10 of pain.  1=low 10=high for pain.  it really worked great didn't need to take a bunch of pain killers.  I took a few hits of a joint and i was fully out of pain.  If it was pills i could have been fighting the pain for 4-6 hrs.  Me and pot doesn't mix well so i don't smoke it but it does work.
