medical patients are limited by # of plants

Thanks BTDT. I have suffered from chronic back pain for several years due to two ruptured and degenerated discs. In the past I had not understood fully that weed might help this pain and I have used umpteen painkillers, instead. I use them on occasion, not as a habit, but I really don't like to do so due to liver damage potential - and possible addiction, to which I have admittedly come close to on a couple of occasions.

Too, I always figured that the programs were only for AIDS, cancer, glaucoma patients, etc. etc. I would not wanted to have disrespected or endangered the ability of these folks to get what they need so I never really pursued the program. But, due to this site and reading about MM, I am thinking of trying to find a doctor (I live in Santa Clara Co.) who is open to giving this a try. I know it sounds convenient as an excuse to legally get high, but if the stuff could also provide relief to me for this damn back, I'd be downright giddy with gratitude.

Anyway, thanks to those of you who have posted on this topic.

That's what is all about. Getting off the chemicals and relying on mother natures medicine. It should be covered and it should also make a world of difference for your back. Good luck.

75% of the patients in my state are on the registry for "chronic Pain". I'm in that fun group myself...wooo hoooo!

I spent too many years on the pills. I love em...gotta be honest...but I KNEW they were killing me. Head says "Yeah man...EAT THOSE ****ERS UP,. THEY'RE GOOD FOR YA!"....Body says "WTF are you DOING TO ME?"

Pot is good meds. It won't kill the pain like the narcos do...but it takes your mind off it and allows you to focus on other things.

And...with being "legal"...it's all out in the open in my home. Got plants on the back deck...and that new room in the garage. The kids (boys, almost 15 & 18) support it and would rather I medicate with pot than take the pills and enter the "Dr. Jeckyll and Mr. Hyde" Family FUN Ride. It's AWESOME being out in the open after hiding my grow for over 15 years!

Now I just gotta teach em how to TRIM! LOL.

hey btdt great story thnx for sharing. I too just got my reccomendation and medical card. From both my doctors. I have two boys and they have always known I smoke but now it is in the open and they know I grow. I taught my oldest about osmosis first hand and photosynthisis, and cloning. It is realy cool to relate the scientific side of it all to him and not feel ashamed because it is "illegal" thnx for sharing~

What a great feeling to be able to teach your sons and it be legal. That is excellant.
