i have had to sit back and watch my mother suffer with FM for many years!! sometimes i walk in her house and she just brakes down crying, when she gets a flare-up she is bed-bound for days/weeks at a time, opiods do not agree with my mother so she takes no pain relief for her FM which is shocking, i think my mother would absolutely 100% benefit from medical cannabis used with a vapourizer.
i think cannabis should be legal for those who truly need it, its been proven to have many medical uses!!??
i've been plagued and did all the meds..nuerontin was ok..tramadol helped some. i like pot, and i gotta say after doing a cup of " shrooms" each afternoon for about a month i no longer need much of anything anymore and i'm not near as miserable..
Not for me I had my fist ever panic attack within a hour of smoking marijuana (although I had smoked it before on occasion), from then on was having 4 or 5 very bad panic attacks every day, lost my job and later developed depression which often is comorbid. I still have them occasionally even after 20 years have passed. Also had severe paranoia when smoking marijuana.
i've had it for ten years..fibro..that is....and been suicidal for most of that time due to the pain.
I have never done 'drugs' in my life...i don't drink either or smoke cigarettes so i was scared...but i finally tried it this week..and i feel better. it might be a coincidence, but i am going to keep using it for a while to see what happens..wish i had tried this sooner.
I have a friend who is suffering and has missed work for almost 3 weeks now. She's covered by our company's medical leave policy but she claims this is worst she's ever felt. She's a religious person so I'm sure she will be opposed to my suggestion. I'm wondering how is it working for you?
@tonester1964 well, long ago as a kid, each time i tried it i got severly depressed and felt terrible. that is why i although i have had fibro for ten years i never thought to try it.
its a long story how i ended up trying it..but i feel it is helping me save my life. for the first time in ten years, i can sleep. i used to wake up in the morning , worse then when i went to bed...but now i don't..it is a miracle..i wish to god i had not been so afraid of it and tried it again sooner.
Ive been diagnosed w/ Fybro 12 years now. I am on 3 different narcotics for pain management. And the pain still persists. I smoke some when I can & personally, it makes me feel better. I wish I had a dr who could prescribe mj for me. Because, I am really not sure of the dosage I should be taking. I just smoke until I feel it is enough. Is there anyone out there that can give me some further tips, I would appreciate it. thx.
im a 26 year old male who also has fibro. im finding it common that most are treated with Cymbalta. my doctor will not prescribe me opiods but thats fine because i'd rather smoke a joint. I recently told my general doctor and specialist that I use marijuana for pain. They were not against it at all, they agreed that yes it is a natural painkiller. Oh god and the MIGRAINES! the only cure for that is marijuana!
I got Fibro too. I'm one of the unlucky GUYS that got the what ever it is. LOL Lyrica is ok Cymbalta is also ok. But neither is as good as smoking some marijuana. I wish there was something that was better but for me there isn't. I live in NY and there working on legalizing but i wont hold my breath. But, good for NY for letting anyone get married just don't forget us chronic pain sufferers.
I'm also a fibro patient. Legislation is going on the table in 2/12 for alabama. Prayers and/or good vibes that we can get it. I wish it for all 50 states.
Amen! Pharms almost killed me, & lowered the immune system of my ex-partner who already had an immune deficiency disease. Medical Cannabis really helps. We need to legalize b/c it takes many many plants to grow enough to EAT it. Smoking it helps, but the ideal method is to eat it for pain & sleep & smoke it too for mental & to touch up the effects of the food. Smoking herbs cuts back on a lot of the pain for me but there's been times when I was able to eat it & smoke it where I was PAIN FREE!
@windbeamproductions ... Pharms wants us to get sick, otherwise people dont return for more! I have bad Arthritis in almost all my joints, its really bad to such an extent that I cant get to sleep because of the pain. I have smoked Medical Cannibis, eaten it and made the oil and out of the 3... the oil is the best. Its the best medicine for pain, it helps me get to sleep, and eases the pain. But the goverments wouldnt legalize it because they dont benefit from it, cant tax.
@4U4U7 I have never used mj for my fibro or anything else, but I'm open to the idea. However, and this is a big...however, I doubt it'll ever be available in Nebraska. Too many people here think meth or forged narcotic Rx scripts is the way to go! And if it ever was federally legalized, the DEA would put patients on such short leashes they'd strangle and the paperwork would overwhelm their doctor's office staff.
@FaerieElfin I have fibro as well.. and live in Nebraska. I hope that someday they will legalize it because the muscle relaxants they have me on make me feel like garbage and sadly we are stuck here because my husband is in the military. Sadly I think I'll be stuck with these pills until he retires in nearly 20 years and we retire to CO :(
Marijuana is a wonderful medicine! I have always had FMS, but back when I used to smoke weed I never had problems. I also stayed thin, when I stopped smoking I gained so much weight. I was never grumpy on weed, but I am on the narcotic drugs!

Not a cure.... but simply a moment without the ever present pain that should be your god given right ........... help spread the knowledge of therapeutic marijuana I see the benefits of this on a daily basis with a large variety of patients with many different ailments. G- Blessed
Got "fibro"? Do yourself a favor and check your medical records to see if you'd taken Cipro, Levaquin, Avelox or any other quinolone antibiotics in the weeks or months prior to your symptoms arising. Doctors give out these terribly poisonous drugs like they're candy, and they are known to cause DELAYED REACTIONS that mimic fibro symptoms nearly perfectly. Because of this delay in reaction time, many people never make the connection between the drugs and their new mysterious health problems.
@inagod Ohh, is that so??? and could you tell me what exactly the these " long term effcts" are?? Because after 25 years of smoking daily.....I have seen nothing. There is alot of speculation out there floating around the media alledging it causes brain damage etc..... but none of this speculation has ever bee scientificaly proven. There is one thing that goes without saying.....inhaling smoke of any kind is going to contribute to cancer
@inagod Nearly all drugs, prescription or not, have long term affects. And I will bet you that weed would have a MUCH LESS long term affect than the concoction of multiple high dosage drugs they are pushing on these poor people you idiot.
please watch documentary RUN FROM THE CURE canadian man Rick Simpson cures terminal cancer with hemp oil and gives it away for free man is a saint not a criminal please watch the best documentary Ive ever seen RUN FROM THE CURE on youtube God Bless
I am 49 and many say I look 35ish. I have a full head of Hair, 6.0 ft 178 lbs. I don't look like I have FIbromyalgia. It takes me one hour to get out of bed. I was playing full court basketball 7 years ago 4 days a week. I can see why people would think I am faking. For years I judged people with carpal tunnel saying "these people want to get attention or get out of work"
I pray God would forgive me and I pray God would forgive those who do not know how FM is relentless. They do no know how wi
lol pot makes anything feel good, so does cocaine, chrystal meth, vicodine, morphene, ect. I have sever Fibromyalgia and there is no medication that has long term benifits! I refuse to use any kind of chemicals for it because it only makes the problem worse! I believe its called hyperanalgesic. When the nervouse system gets over sensitive due to chemicals! Exercise, diet, good sleep, and keeping a healthy attitude is the key! Or just turn into a burned out pothead trying to justify your habit!
@intruder00000 you are a moronic drone who believes all the bullshitt speculation that gets put out there by the cops the media and the gov't. You need to open your mind and realize that there are benefits to smoking marijuanna.... the main reason that it remains illegal is that the gov't would never be able to regulate it or make money off it. I have been using weed for many years(succesfuly) to combat all my aches and pain, anxiety and depression.... and have suffered ZERO sid effects...
thanks for the vid.....may i ask some questions? I have flares that never go away and i've smoked for years but it doesn't help really but its not medical would u say with medical mariuana you are still in pain but function better? or are you really out of pain? I have no help at all for this disease and if this really works i might move to oregon lol
I have terrible headaches and fibromyalgia. I live in pennsylvania, there is no reason for me to suffer as bad as I do. I was taken out of school a year and a half before I could finish. I have gone to so many doctors(15-25)and it wasn't them that figured out I have fibromyalgia, It was me after searching on the internet for hundreds of hours begging people for answers on message boards. I cant suffer like this the rest of my life, Im 18. I really need help and MJ really helps me.
Half the reason that people are against it is because the stigma attached to the word 'marijuana'. The m word is what they want us to call it, along with weed, pot, dope, etc. Stop calling it that and start calling it cannabis and we'll be on the way to legalized. Also it doesn't exclusively have to be smoked and other methods like eating hash oil might be better
I am a recovered fibromyalgic who completely understands this disease from the inside and back out again. Management therapies can provide relief, however they are not a cure. I had to leave the care the medical profession to discover the cause and cure, and am living proof that you can cure this illness and take back your life. Please, do not give up from failed hope. Keep going!!!

I ALSO HAVE FIBRO,I WAS DIAGNOSED 3YRS AGO.I ALSO HAVE BEEN GIVEN MULTIPAL DRUGS,INJECTIONS AND IM SO RUN DOWN.I NEED SOME EXTRA HELP.I LIVE IN UTAH SO MARIJUANA IS NOT AN OPTION,BUT I FEEL SO TERRIBLE THAT I CANT WORK,FUNCTION OR EVEN MAKE MY FAMILY DINNER SOME NIGHTS.I AM ONLY 31 YRS. OLD,AND THIS IS A TERRIBLE WAY OF LIFE,I FEEL LIKE THIS DISEASE HAS TAKEN ME OVER.
im in AR tied here by an exhusband who abuses his SSD and wont work but the courts want to blame me B/C SS doesnt see FMS as disabikity.. he was DUI : our poor "free" country only sounds free if youre rich enough to get to Cali first :(
I have to agree. I have been dealing with the symptoms 12 years or more and just newly formally diagnosed. I know its wrong, but I would much rather depend on herbs to help with my pain than these dangerous drugs I have to take now.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Fake-O-My-Ass-a : A disorder where the nurves of the brain cause widespread lying and fibbing of the mouth. Usually cuased by a need for attention, sympathy, and hugs and kisses that were lacking in childhood. Usually a placebo such as pot can help the symptoms by making people feel more loved by comforting the nurves in a cloud of mary janes love cloud.
@Jesuistouche This is going to be the worst thing I ever say to someone, as I myself have this illness, but I really hope you get it too. =) I hope you wake up tomorrow too stiff to walk and in so much pain they have to haul you screaming to the ER where they will give you pain meds that don't dull it at all. Then, all of us with fibro will laugh at you and call you a faker. :D
My friend has fibromyalagia and before they tried a dozen prescriptions before she realized her best treatment is smoking marijuana combined with a a narcotic that her doctor prescribes, but she only takes half of the dosage because if she takes it all, she feels it interferes with her daily activities. Without the narcotic she has to smoke marijuana more often. But with a moderate use of both, she feels great and works full time and is a single mom. :)
I had it for 3 yrs, I wanted to die. I was healed 7 years ago after an encounter with God. I was ready to check out and take my life if He didn't answer. I don't know how I had the strength, I didn't. All the sudden I knew what I had to do. Toxins are so deep inside the body, toxins from stress, medicine and things we eat and drink. I did a major fast and drank water and sweated them out. Took about 30 days. Ate raw food, cut and soft drinks No caffeine, no sugar. Medicine can't cure this.
Wow! OUr stories sound a lot alike. I was on disability for 6 years because my Fibro was so bad. Very few Dr.s understood (had one tell me that I just wanted drugs! A well known Dr. was going to put me on Oxy's back in 2001; I told him I'd rather try medical MJ. So it worked out for me. One thing I will say is it DOES depend on what you get! I hadn't had a bad flair up in years and had one this year Indica was BAD NEWS for me. Some my try Sativa. I can't find the original stuff I had.
Ive had fibromyalgia for 5 years, Ive smoked Marijuana just about every day for 12 years (even before I had it). It didn't prevent it, or make my pain any better. I have found a combination of Chiropractic, Acupuncture, Massage therapy, Stretching and exercise to be more helpful. Needless to say I still smoke pot reguardless.
Without acupuncture,chiropractic,massage, stretching/exercise and just pot alone it was getting progressively worse. The pot didn't do anything for the pain or anything to slow it's progress, it just helped put me to sleep.
@NinjaRua I think the strain makes a difference for different things. Sometimes Cannabis Sativa is better and sometimes Cannabis Indica is better. I don't know personally, but maybe you could find out since you already smoke it.
@pjwlk There is nothing in cannabis that causes a dependency in any way, shape, or form. Research it a bit more , especially if you are someone or know someone in constant pain. You won't find one negative review. We've had our miracle drug all along. The problem is is that it's cheaper than all the other medication given out, especially since patients can grow their own.
To test the afformentioned theory I stopped 3 weeks ago because someone else brought that up, and actually, I'm starting to improve. It seems like my chiro. adjustments hold longer than before along with the Acupuncture. I still sympathinze with med. marijuana users, just in my case, it didn't really make any noticeable differences using it.
@sturgismom13 It is sick that people have to take the law into their own hands to get some relief from the hell of fibro. To think you can actually go to jail for making yourself well. I could fucking cry!
thanks for this video... I suffer from fibro and disk disease and diabetes.. and arthritis.. wha.. what a combo... I am so happy for you .. this suffering is so awlful.. my doc wont give me anything stronger than tramadol.. and i now added advil to help with hip pain... been flaring for 2 weeks now.. and not much relief... good luck sweet lady... god bless you.. :)
I have lived with it now for about 5 yrs. My housework has gone to shit and so has my relationship. Last night someone told me to check into fibromyalgia and I tell you, this is the first time that I have ever read anything that completely explains my symptoms. I am going to get a doctors app right away and tell him that I think I have this disease. I walked around like I was 90 for the first year but just learned to live with through mind over matter and narcotics. I know this is what I have!
Do yourself a favor and don't mention to your doctor that you found out about this on the internet. Just tell him/her that you want to be tested. We were shut out by a Doctor at the hospital because of our research on the Internet. Until I had some nasty words with him that is.
I'm a severe Fibromyalgia sufferer & vapouriser user for over 25years,ive learnt that less is more,it dehydrates you hence migrains! If the plant isnt flushed or cured propperly=migrains! After just 1 smoke,Im NON tobacco & hate it,BUT if you take a small amount of herb & cure it by warming near a warm fan or near laptop fan it becomes brittle,use a decent grinder to get a powder,then slowly vapourise this in a glass tube adding another tube to inhale the vapour its so clean & NO Migrains!!;)
I tried chiropracty, massage, epidurals, exercise, etc. If you have low back pain, mid-back pain, or WHATEVER it may be, there is a really great read called "Healing Back Pain" by Dr. John Sarno. It conveys the most Responsible Content on the matter that I have ever come across and is NOT "about" anatomy in general. You can google his name, they probably have the book at your local library. P.S. I've had 2 discectomies in the past - didn't know better, and...yeah, it's a really worthwhile read.
My husband is on so many prescription medications that have horrible side effects. He even takes morphine and percocet. He's tried everything to help him sleep, from OTC things like melatonin and sleeping pills to prescriptions that don't work either. He was even put on an antipsychotic to help him sleep. Why, I don't know. But it didn't work either. This one is at least safe and actually works.
Thank you!! My husband has fibromyalgia and this really helps his mood, his pain a little and it really helps him sleep. This is probably one of the safest medications out there with the least funding behind it as far as research goes. That's really too bad considering it's increadible medicinal properties.
well hell yes it does, he's HIGH. Don't get me wrong I am ALL for legalized marijuana. I think anybody should be able to do whatever they want to do as long as it does not hurt others.
I have this fibro condition just as others went from no validation of my symptoms to its depression thats the physical pain, to oh you have fibromayalga. pot loosens the muscles up better than muscle relaxors!!! Lifts your mood and makes me want to do aroma therapy after medication,try it sometime , pot also helps sick feeling when driving , or daily nausea, it also acts as a bronchial dialator for the lungs!!! Puff on!!!!!!!!!!
not necessarily true. many doctors believe that it comes from a respiratory pathogen called mycoplasma, i agree with them and so does my primary care giver.
I also have fibromyalgia, i've had it since I was 17 nothing has helped me (not even 100mg. morphenes like the trmendous almost instintanious relief I get from medical marijuana, it saddens me that fibromyalgia is not a disease listed in the benefits of medical marijuana I hope someday soon it will be. -meical marijuana patient-
I also have fibromyalgia. I was diagnosed when I was seventeen. They told me anti-depresents helped fibromyalgia(HA!HA!) Narcotics have not helped me, they don't help fibromyalgia. I am a medical marijuana patient for nausea although It has tremendously relieved my fibromyalgia however it saddens me that fibromyalgia is not a condition covered in the medical marijuana act!
This is so hard because of the stigma that goes along with marijuana. I suffer every day and am on 450mg of Lyrica. I have been to soo many doctors I have lost count. I tried ingesting marijuana and I do have to say that it is almost a miracle.
I also take oxycodone, hydrocodone and that does not even help. The side effects from these medications are insane. So I think if this really works for people then they should be able to do it. To each there own.
that doesn't explain why these plants are legal to sell. (tobacco, barley, ferns, roses).
And by the way. Marijuana is a billion dollar industry that the government is missing out on taxing. Just because the gov't ain't getting profit, doesn't mean no one else is.
for medical use they cant patent marijuana and if people who were sick could just grow it and make oil them selves the medical companies would lsoe tons of money, and fuck who ever gave me a thumbs down, what i said is true dumb ass's.
No one can patent anything they didn't create. Unless they invented cannabis they can't patent it.
And yes coorporations can sell marijuana and make a profit because it takes months to grow a marijuana plant from a seed to an adult. and even then there's no guarantee you're going to grow a female which creates the flowers people smoke.
Tomato companies and apple companies still make money despite the fact people can grow the fruits in their gardens because not everyone can/does.
Our govrnment has a patent on the medical Properties of Marijuana. yet they say it has no medical properties. but the Bush admistration went out and was awarded a patent on it # 6630507
but the government has a medical patent allready on The Cabanoids of Marijuanpatent # 6630507 .. please visit my account and look at video titled Medical Patients 2
I have this condition too. Also 2 bulging discs, arthitis of the back, depression & acute anxiety. It took 8 years for them to figure it all out. The pot helps me tremendously. The Vicodin are supposed to last 8 hours, but they don't. The pot gives me a lift actually. It's awful living like this. I take antidepressants, pain pills, muscle relaxers, etc. W/O the pot, I feel none of these others work.
All the sick that say it helps, are just telling lies!
It is proven that good health comes from the AWESOME PILLS, made by Government supported Companies, that every one knows might kill us but the adds say only if it last more than 4 hours!
Sorry, but like you I am very frustrated, I have been a LAWFULL USER and GROWER orf MJ for almost 3 years yet still have not harvested a crop cause no one beleves it works!!
I use to think pot helped but actually when I stopped I got more relief. I am glad you found something that helped. I think Pot just gets you sidetracked, instead of using the little energy you have to start walking. Walking helped with the energy level which in turn helped with the fibro.
I am also a college student with FMS/CFS and generalized depression.You'd think, being a 20yr old who has all of her friends smoking weed,that I would join in.I never have for obvious reasons, but mainly b/c im scared how I will react, I can't afford to be even more spaced out. With medical MJ I wonder about short term memory loss, common with all MJ. Fog + STM loss doesn't seem to = good news. I can cope with the nausiating pain, its the fog that destroys me. *shrug*
Great video, I'm a college student trying to manage FM + depression and I completely understand how it can completely disrupt your life, and how frustrating it is when all the doctors want to do is give you more pills. I'm very happy that you were able to find a cure that works for you, and I hope that medical marijuana is legalized in my state someday!
"All truths pass through three stages. First it is ridiculed; second, it is violently opposed; third, it is accepted as self-evident." We are in the third stage!
If cannabis wasn't a relatively safe and effective medicine do you think The American College of Physicians, 124,000 strong, would have released a position paper in Feb 08 endorsing its medicinal value and debunking "Reefer Madness" rhetoric?
To see the paper Google > American College of Physicians Marijuana.
The mainstream media is doing their best to bury the ACP paper so tell all you can about it!
I have been living with FM for 10 years. At first, pot helped but when I became a chronic user I found that it made the pain worse but I didn't care as much about it because it took my mind elsewhere. When you suffer from this disease, you get emotionally overwhelmed, you think you have no life and no hope but weed will make you happy for a while.
did get arrested for a very SMALL amount of marj. used for this. not legal here. currently not using, hoping somex it is legal to use. people, some docs., etc., just don't get it.
as one who suffers with this, people just do not understand how debilitating this illness can be. have had it for a very long time, my daughter will prob. end up with the same she is starting with sim. symptoms as self.
the pain, exhaustion and the depression that comes with a chronic illness is horrible.
been on all kinds of meds, nothing totally takes care of it.
Judith lives in California. Marijuana is legal under California law, but illegal under federal law. Despite the conflict, medical marijuana dispensaries are operating in the state.
You can make Cannabis infused butter and oil in the kitchen. Check out my video "Cannabis Infused Olive Oil Recipe by Doctor Diane" on Youtube. You can make it in a crockpot.
wow, that video was an enlightening but one problem...where do people get legal cannabis?
what upsets me the most is are society would rather sell us pharmaceutical narcs then allowing us to use something which is natural..oops, i forgot they wouldn't make money on us then would they? thanks for responding to my post. cs
The excellent part about making infused cannabis oil is that you make it with the leaf. This is the part that growers usually throw away because it cannot be smoked with any satisfaction. The leaf is very inexpensive, if you can find it.
judith,i have fibromyalgia,and have had it for since 1990.i have been taking percription med.,but still hurt. i have never mess with illegal drug's,but sure would like to try the Marijuana pill.I can't hardly walk,and the pain i can't even start about all the pain. Could you tell me if it is legal in Georgia? gby and thank's.
An excellent alternative to smoked marijuana is baking edible goodies with cannabis butter or cannabis olive oil. With proper caution with the dose, the effects are smoother, stronger and last many hours. Patients report that they can eat a cookie and make it through a typical work day.
I have FMS also and wish I could get slow-release THC tablets instead of having to smoke marajuana. They wanted me to be "dependant" on narcotics as well but the side affects were as bad as the FMS! Just allow us something simple, cheap and safe since it exists please!
i am really at a loss for words. i cant take this pain anymore, willing to do whatever it takes to ease it, so hoping this doesnt hurt my disability cliam
remember to keep all appointments with DRs and make sure that you get a lawyer, ssd is a legal decesion contact ssoffice for lawyers nobody nneeds to know you smoke it has better to just let a few people be aware you smoke but god put it on eRTH TO ENJOY AND GET A RELIGUOS EXPERIENCE OR WISDOM OF MEDITATION AFTER SMOKING . PUFF ON
I completely agree, I have fibro and smoke cannabis. IT WORKS. I am not a lazy unmotivated pothead, and most people who smoke are not either. Lazy people smoke pot, pot doens't make you lazy. It works more than ANY opiate-based pain meds. Screw pharmaceutical options, a natural plant works best for ME.
We need to get all states to legalize medical marijuana. Not just for cancer patients, but for fibromites, cfids and other autoimmune diseases. Anything I can do to help, I am willing.
i have fibromyalgia and know exactley was this lady is saying i am now 37 and sick and tired of narcotics and have a 12 year old daughter and not able to function much at all when I do smoke i feel much more able to live a fuller life but the pain clinic will not allow you to smoke marijuana becouse they piss test you for it and i am also on morphine and oxycodone constantley i say legalize marijuana in all states. i am from wisconsin and sure shit think it should be legalized
If i were you i would move myself to Denver! Its legal up to an ounce. God gave us this beautiful plant. The fact that it is illegal is a sin against god. Don't allow your life to be run by others who think they know whats best for you.
Don't mark Manensol down, a couple here in Sacramento, CA is going to Federal prison for a Minimum of 5 years!! please listen to your hearts and what helps these people not the scare tactics these news stations use on us..
I live with FM myself and cannabis is the only medicine that helps me to have a life. Its also hard to meditate on pharmaceuticals.

i have had to sit back and watch my mother suffer with FM for many years!! sometimes i walk in her house and she just brakes down crying, when she gets a flare-up she is bed-bound for days/weeks at a time, opiods do not agree with my mother so she takes no pain relief for her FM which is shocking, i think my mother would absolutely 100% benefit from medical cannabis used with a vapourizer.
i think cannabis should be legal for those who truly need it, its been proven to have many medical uses!!??

its a long story how i ended up trying it..but i feel it is helping me save my life. for the first time in ten years, i can sleep. i used to wake up in the morning , worse then when i went to bed...but now i don't..it is a miracle..i wish to god i had not been so afraid of it and tried it again sooner.

Ive been diagnosed w/ Fybro 12 years now. I am on 3 different narcotics for pain management. And the pain still persists. I smoke some when I can & personally, it makes me feel better. I wish I had a dr who could prescribe mj for me. Because, I am really not sure of the dosage I should be taking. I just smoke until I feel it is enough. Is there anyone out there that can give me some further tips, I would appreciate it. thx.

im a 26 year old male who also has fibro. im finding it common that most are treated with Cymbalta. my doctor will not prescribe me opiods but thats fine because i'd rather smoke a joint. I recently told my general doctor and specialist that I use marijuana for pain. They were not against it at all, they agreed that yes it is a natural painkiller. Oh god and the MIGRAINES! the only cure for that is marijuana!

I got Fibro too. I'm one of the unlucky GUYS that got the what ever it is. LOL Lyrica is ok Cymbalta is also ok. But neither is as good as smoking some marijuana. I wish there was something that was better but for me there isn't. I live in NY and there working on legalizing but i wont hold my breath. But, good for NY for letting anyone get married just don't forget us chronic pain sufferers.

Amen! Pharms almost killed me, & lowered the immune system of my ex-partner who already had an immune deficiency disease. Medical Cannabis really helps. We need to legalize b/c it takes many many plants to grow enough to EAT it. Smoking it helps, but the ideal method is to eat it for pain & sleep & smoke it too for mental & to touch up the effects of the food. Smoking herbs cuts back on a lot of the pain for me but there's been times when I was able to eat it & smoke it where I was PAIN FREE!

@windbeamproductions ... Pharms wants us to get sick, otherwise people dont return for more! I have bad Arthritis in almost all my joints, its really bad to such an extent that I cant get to sleep because of the pain. I have smoked Medical Cannibis, eaten it and made the oil and out of the 3... the oil is the best. Its the best medicine for pain, it helps me get to sleep, and eases the pain. But the goverments wouldnt legalize it because they dont benefit from it, cant tax.

Got "fibro"? Do yourself a favor and check your medical records to see if you'd taken Cipro, Levaquin, Avelox or any other quinolone antibiotics in the weeks or months prior to your symptoms arising. Doctors give out these terribly poisonous drugs like they're candy, and they are known to cause DELAYED REACTIONS that mimic fibro symptoms nearly perfectly. Because of this delay in reaction time, many people never make the connection between the drugs and their new mysterious health problems.

Half the reason that people are against it is because the stigma attached to the word 'marijuana'. The m word is what they want us to call it, along with weed, pot, dope, etc. Stop calling it that and start calling it cannabis and we'll be on the way to legalized. Also it doesn't exclusively have to be smoked and other methods like eating hash oil might be better

No one can patent anything they didn't create. Unless they invented cannabis they can't patent it.
And yes coorporations can sell marijuana and make a profit because it takes months to grow a marijuana plant from a seed to an adult. and even then there's no guarantee you're going to grow a female which creates the flowers people smoke.

An excellent alternative to smoked marijuana is baking edible goodies with cannabis butter or cannabis olive oil. With proper caution with the dose, the effects are smoother, stronger and last many hours. Patients report that they can eat a cookie and make it through a typical work day.

I have FMS also and wish I could get slow-release THC tablets instead of having to smoke marajuana. They wanted me to be "dependant" on narcotics as well but the side affects were as bad as the FMS! Just allow us something simple, cheap and safe since it exists please!

I completely agree, I have fibro and smoke cannabis. IT WORKS. I am not a lazy unmotivated pothead, and most people who smoke are not either. Lazy people smoke pot, pot doens't make you lazy. It works more than ANY opiate-based pain meds. Screw pharmaceutical options, a natural plant works best for ME.

We need to get all states to legalize medical marijuana. Not just for cancer patients, but for fibromites, cfids and other autoimmune diseases. Anything I can do to help, I am willing.

Thank you kindly to the ma'am who expressed the truth in this video. The answer will come to us soon. People should not have to needlessly suffer.
To those who do suffer -- stay strong. We will get through this.

If i were you i would move myself to Denver! Its legal up to an ounce. God gave us this beautiful plant. The fact that it is illegal is a sin against god. Don't allow your life to be run by others who think they know whats best for you.
