Marijuana

Post by Erik M3/ 997 S »

I used to come on this board many moons age. Jumpyowl was the goto guy back then. Not sure if he is still here.

I suffer terribly like others. I have tried a few of the DA's, Mirapex, Sinemet etc.. I had zero luck w/them. I use marijuana on a nightly basis and have for roughly 10 yrs.
I will smoke a bowl in the evening, around 7:00p. I can then function w/ my family, relax, etc.. Then I hit it a little more at bedtime, probly another bowl or two around 10-12:00 then sleep. It does help but I also have 20 mg Methadone's handy that I take 5 out of 7 nights. W/O the pot, my pain killer amts would be sig higher.

Anyone here from S Fla, esp Palm Beach county. I live in Jupiter, Fl.

Welcome back. Jumpy is still around sometimes, although I haven't heard from him in awhile. Yes, as you've found, MJ works great for some people. It doesn't work for everyone, however, and carries a risk that some people are not willing or able to assume. (Mandatory drug testing at work, obtaining it, possession laws, etc.) There are many posts about it in the non-pharm section of the board.
