Re: FOR ALL OF YOU WHO WANT A CARD but..
Perhaps cramps falls under "chronic pain"...I'll have to look into that. Men don't suffer from those so you have no idea what they are like. Fucking painful! I'd do just about anything to rid myself of those.
Well if you will do anything almost talk to your gynecologist about a Tubal Ligation basically they put you out and insert a ballon like object into your uterus which has a heating element wich heats up and coterizes the lining of your uterus wich will thin out the build up of debris between periods as well as Lowering pain from cramps by 10-20x as well as making your period last 1-3 days in most cases. I only know about this as my wife suffered from severe cramping from her cycle and after her first tubal ligation which has to be done about every 5 years to remain effective but in my wife's case the one treatment was enough as she is now in her mid 40;s and approaching menopause so cramps wont be a problem for her in the near future.
But the point is there is another treatment available and unless you have exhausted all treatments or your Dr feels that any other possible treatments would not be effective or appropriate then MMJ would be a reasonable option but with all cases you have to try everything else before they will allow you to use the most cutting edge and controversial treatments. As for me I have a spinal cord injury which after 9 years of treatment my pain specialist reccomendation was my injury would not benefit from aggressive treatment (surgery)he reccomended Physiotherapy which I went through for 6 months and his oppinion was if the physio did not improve my condition then I would need to be referred to a Pain management Clininc for long term pharmaceutical treatment.
But after 9 years of doing everything the DR's suggested wich was a prescription for 160mg of oxycontin /day and 90 oxycocet per month for breakthru pain, 50mg Toradol (muscle relaxants) also Naproxen,Arthrotec and celebrex when I brought up that marijuana actually has worked better for me for pain and muscle spasms when I eat it I was suddenly taken off the opiates that were no problem for 3 years and suddenly reccomended for methadone maintenance for pain treatment as the Dr explained it is longer lasting and was originally created to be a more powerful pain killer then morphine without the narcotic effects but is a far more addictive and Dangerous drug then oxycontin as it is possible to go cold turkey from oxycontin but going cold turkey from methadone can be life threatening.
So bascially I feel if a person has a problem that MMJ relieves then it should be prescribed only all other treatments have been either tried or discussed and found to be innapropriate. So IMO once you have tried everything else if mmj is the only thing that works then go for it. The best part of thinking this way is given enough time DR's will figure out it is the best medicine for over 200 conditions and will probably become the most widely used medicine in the world again like it was before the creation of the big pharmaceutical companies who have no intrest in seeing a plant that anyone can grow replacing all there expensive drugs. Well unless they get smart and figure out that they can make money by creating a lab where they can cross breed and genetically examine every strain to figure out how to make a super plant that they could sell over the counter as a seed for there customers to grow.
I would look at it this way its like medicine that not every pill will work as not all seeds are viable by nature and if they make it an autoflowering strain and feminised then they have a market where nobody can just buy once clone there product and only need to buy more if there is a catastrophe in the grow room.
Maybe once pharmaceutical companies realize they could sell 30 seeds for 100$ and the cost of creating them once the initial plants breeding has been completed manufacturing would require a large clean room to grow plants for seed. When you consider the cost of growing say 200 plants for bud in a home grow the costs of growing for seeds would be far easier and cheap enough when you consider the enormous amount of seeds you would get if you got 200 female plants fully seeded I imagine the yield would be at least 2 thousand seeds per plant and at $100 for 30 seeds the profit turn over would be huge. I only bring all this up as I truly believe that if a pharmecutical company could be brought on board with this Idea and they could see that by just tending a large warehouse of plants for seed could make massive profits then the end of the road to legalization would be insight as if the big companys could see the massive profits they could make from a plant they would suddenly start producing the info they more then likely already have on how safe ,effective and non harmful of a medication it truly is . Lets face it in this day and age penicilian wouldnt never have been licenced when you consider the research that went into its creation I believe it was 6 trial patients and it was licenced.
