marijuana

[pigeonca]

Doctor phoned today, said blood tests indicated marijuana use.  "Do you smoke pot?" she asked.  "Yes," I replied, "nobody told me not to."  I mean, she said to give up wine and lose weight.  Now she wants me to give up the weed.  Since I've read that many people use it to help out with sides from treatment, my question is: Is it that really that damaging to our livers?  Thanks in advance,

Hey there, I guess my point and question is: is it better to take 9-15 ibuprofen, or a couple of brownies on the liver.  Does the use of medical marijuana actually help sx like the ache, or just nasueas... (probably won't help spelling...)

brownies heh!  poor thing you! 9 ibuprofens is the norm for us.  I know I take more than that now!  if you stay up late might as well go to pogo.com and try to win the jackpot playing solitaire!
take care sweetie!

anyone lurking down here with the lunkers????  I would never smoke pot, just like I would never drink with hep c......but now them brownies.... I have considered.  Here lately I ACHE, I ache in my long bones, I eat 9 ibuprofen a day, and I can't sleep at night because I ache.  If I thought I could eat two brownies a night (hey, no one can eat just one) and that it would help...I would be all for it.  I noticed Beamer posted a while back that he gets "fired up" easily, and it seems like I do too, just like a major caffeine buzz.  I am not on any form of AD, or sleep aid, so maybe this is a form of anxiety, and I just don't know it....something else wierd, last three Drs. visits my body temp is so low, I might be dead and don't know it.  96 on last two, 95 on the last one... I told my staff if I start to stink, someone bury me...

Everyone give Rev a break, differing viewpoints are valuable, case in point.  Being a long time pothead, I wish it weren't true but he is right.

My previous dr thought it would be fine if I smoked a little too but it looks like there's new information.

Even NORML recommends that HEPC patients not use pot until further studies are done. http://www.norml.org/index.cfm?Group_ID=7010

I think each person needs to weigh the risk/benefit as with any drug.
