Ok alittle background first:
My mom was diagnosed with nerve damage 6 years ago causing very bad pain in her left foot. She started taking doctor prescribed meds for the pain and then after 4 years of meds her stomach started to hurt when she ate. She would get this burning sensation after eating and has lost 45lbs in the last two years. She is down to 95lbs. And she wants to eat but the burning is too much.
After over 50 doctor appts. and way more test not one doctor could find her problem or prescribe anything that would help her discomfort.
My mom is 65 years old and knows I smoked pot since I was a teenager but we had an understanding. RESPECT!!! I never did it in front of her or let her into that world.
Well after another disappointing DR. apointment on Tuesday I popped the Question while driving in the car on the way bringing her back home.
" MOm have You ever tried smoking pot for your discomfort?"
No she says why? Well I explain to her the amazing help people get from MJ. She says I'll try anything.
Ok so I pull out of my center console a fake red bull can that i keep my stash in and pour out 3-4 buds of White Widow. I give that to her and she says: " i don't have any papers to smoke it. So I hand her my in the car glass bowl and tell her to keep it.
She imediately packs herself a bowl and sparks it up.
OMG what A twilight zone moment!
I explain to wait until she gets home but it was too late . She blazing away in my truck.
Ok so I can't get her to stop talking so I can go back to work, I finally help her out of my car.
I call her a few hours later to find out how she feels. I ask Mom how do you feel?
" I ate" she says. And she was still waiting for the burning but it hadn't come yet she was relaxed and full burning free. Thank God!!!!!!!!!
So I talked to her today to get an update: She has had the 3 best days in the last 2 years. She has NO burning after she eats and is relax and she says her attitude and outlook are way better. She also says she has finnally met her neibors after 4 years and she says they are nice too. Her and this other old lady were up late last night laughing and talking. She says:" and she wasn't even stoned." LOL
Ok so my wife smokes and now I will be supporting my mom's medication too. I'm ok since it's the ONLY thing that has given her any relief in the last 2 years.
Come on Goverment get with the program.
