Do You Smoke Pot/Weed?

[Pogo]

Does it help you with your pain though? I think using marijuana for your pain is a LOT safer than using those chemical laden prescription drugs.

Some of us just suck it up and deal with the pain.

Some of us understand that the stress of being in pain causes or aggravates the problem.

But then, you seem to enjoy your misery.

I've come to take his posts as complete fiction and fantasy from a dark-minded troll who wallows in his made-up absurdist gloom stories. I doubt he's ever experienced any of the scenaria he posts here at all. I think it's all a game. I doubt he's ever made an honest post in his life.

You are probably right.

Sorry if it upsets you, but many, many people out there are drug seeking individuals. They like to get high on the meds too. That's just a fact. They will even lie about their pain just to get the drugs. Sad but true.

The VA had me on methadone and hydrocodone..But I'm not really into pills and it got to where it was not helping, so I stopped..It's bad enough the Meloxicam I have increases your chance of a fart attack, So I take it sooo sparingly that I take it on 2-4 times a week at most.If I don't work I never take it....Same with the Gabapentin...

Good for you! It must suck to have to deal with pain, but what about other more natural remedies? Have you tried anything like that?

I have a slipped disc, hip bursitis & osteoarthritis in my back & hip & there's nothing more 'natural' than marijuana. it's a plant in its purest form & is what works for me.

From what I heard there are lots of medicinal benefits of marijuana.... So I did minor research from Google and this is what I find.

Short- & Long-Term Effects of Marijuana - Negative Side Effects of Weed - Drug-Free World

I have smoked weed 38 years and yet have none of the so called bad side affects, and neither do the professionals I know...

Does it help you with your pain though? I think using marijuana for your pain is a LOT safer than using those chemical laden prescription drugs.

Yes it helps with my severe muscle contractions from having spinal stenosis, scoliosis, herniated and ruptured disk, used to include crushed disks and my spinal degeneration disease, and anxiety..But the thing it works best is relaxing my Hitler frenzy......

gabapentin did nothing for me except make me gain weight.

that is certainly a biased website with an agenda. I don't think anyone would argue the fact that any drug or herbal supplement is free from side effects & there is always the decision to make about the benefits/risk ratio.

I don't enjoy misery, I just accept it as a natural state of being.

But then, you seem to enjoy your misery.

I don't enjoy misery, I just accept it as a natural state of being.

Why accept it when it can change? No interest in changing?

So glad to hear it works for you! I would like to ask if you have it by prescription?

That you think misery is the natural state of being is simply pathetic. If you are miserable, change your life to find happiness. Not doing so is a waste of your life.

I disagree. I think occasional recreational use is fine. Better than getting drunk.

Guess you missed the part where I posted I haven't touched pot in 35 years but then again I haven't touched alcohol in 20 years. Not against people using either for recreational use it's their choice but someone using one poison then claiming another (proven to be less harmful) is for losers is the real loser.
