[SingPain]

I am 39 years old and suffer from the condiction RSD. From a work injury.The pain can't be explained. Been on all kinds of dangerous pain meds.described and also have a Spinal Cord Stimulator Implant in which without don't think I'd be here today. I don't drink. and get tested @ Pain management for drugs, and if I have Marijuana in my system, I'll be taken off Pain Management. There are 16 states with Med. Marijuana passed, and I have to suffer and have my rights violated. Come on now help us!

Cannabis had been used (still is used really) as a great, if not the best, tool to break alcohol addiction.

@SingPain I also suffer with RSD. No stimulator but many meds and SGB's...and vitamins and supplements...and controlled diet...all with little to no avail. I am cautious about MJ, too b/c of urine tests and not wanting to lose prescription narcotics. My husband and I are involved politically but if PA doesn't get our voices head, it will never pass...
