I am actually a Diabetic. I have had diabetes for about 4 years. I actually think I have had it all my life, but was diagnosed in 2004. The doctors are so surprised when I come in. They look at me and say wow...you are really young to have diabetes type II and PCOS. I was 21 when I was diagnosed, and they put me on many many medications. It's very hard to keep up with these at such a young age, and everything coming at me at once. But you live, learn, and get used to it. The medications make me nauseated a good amount of the time. I want to know why the government is keeping such a vital medicinal drug from being used for medicinal purposes from the public. Why do we have to suffer? Diabetics could really use marijuana for medicinal purposes. It not only helps with nausea but also helps with keeping your metabolism low...which is great for diabetics. This is a disease that is sweeping our nation, and I believe that Marijuana could really help these especially those in critical condition. For example some diabetics get so bad that they have to walk around with an insulin pump attached to them at all times. What a way to live? (sarcasm) Some diabetics choose to still drink b/c it is a legal way to relax after a hard day. Does anyone know what alcohol does to diabetic patients? All alcohol has sugar in it, and it is horrible for diabetics to consume. why not marijuana instead? Let me know whatcha think. Thank you for any replies.
