Pain Meds
I am into week 19 of 48, cleared a week 4, Genotype 4, stage 2.
About week 8 I started getting very severe headaches, nothing worked. Finally at week 16 it was found that I had shingles on my face above my eye. Then last week I found out that the shingles were gone but am now diagnosed with PHN ( the shingles are gone but the pain remains). The PHN can last a long time 3 to 6 more months I

so right! it is the damn DEA, they should go after the drug cartel and leave pain management to the doctors.
I smoked pot once, when I was in College...That **** will make you bring back stuff you didn't even steal !!!
Here, in Canada they decriminalized marijuana...It really makes a lot more work for law enforcement...But, in a country where it is still a felony, how do you go about using "medical marijuana" legally?..

Now this is the crazy part-marijuanna ia illegal b/c its such a powerful drug, b/it is not federally recognized as a potentially helpful drug. So we all agree that it is a naturally occuring drug that is so widely used @ one time or another that it is no longer a deterient to becoming an FBI agent or even president.
The only thing harmful about marijuanna is that it is illegal. currently. If it was legal, people would happily buy it in shops and most likely grow their own. The gov't could tax it like tabacco and alcohol. We could set up programs for people w/probs w/marijuana like we do for fat people, gamblers, coke heads, alcohol abusers, meth heads, sex addicts.
Now if the gov't really wanted to cut off drug profits from the bad guys, legalize marijuana and the 25%+ of the gen population who do and always will smoke can start suporting our gov't not some shadowy underworld.
Here in my state, so much pot is grown outdoors, the drug cops quit cracking down on meth labs to harvest the pot. Pot heads are not carjacking, murdering, robbing, stealing Identities, commiting computer fraud-meth heads are.
As a voting population, it would be to everybodies benefit to legalize and tax pot and use the law resources to root out and cure the much more serious problems in our society.

Medical marijuana is a term used for patients who have received a medical authorization to use marijuana from their doctor. You must live in a state (I think there are 7 states) where an initiative from the votors has approved med marijuana. I live in Washington State where Initiative I-692 was passed in 1998.
I feel so lucky. Also, it must your regular Doctor who you see. I am so happy that my Doctor has an open mind to it. I told her is was hard for me to ask, but came prepared with a copy of the auth. form I downloaded, a copy of the Initiative, and a report that showed that hep c was to be included in the list of ailments included in the initiative(this list includes aids, glaucoma, MS, wasting symdrome etc.)
Non medical marijuana is when the police can hassle you for having pot and confiscate your stuff etc...at the cost of many of YOUR tax dollars.

how and where do you get it, is it sold in drug stores or do you still have to rely on street peddlers?
marijuana is for those who want to use it.
medical marijuana is for those who have convinced others to want them to use it.

PS Research shows that 98% of morbidly obese americans used BBQ grills at sometime in their youth ;-). Sorry to make light, but what a waste of precious energy.
