I just want to know, out of pure curiosity, what illness do you have? God bless you, man. Hopefully everything will be fine. |
Okay you asked for it cause this is a list to make your head spin.
1. Spinal cord injury causing severe chronic pain and muscle spasms cause by a hit and run while I was a pedestrian leaving me with 3 misshappen vertebrae and 3 disks with are 2 herniated and 1 bulging they are the L1 L4 and L5
2, fibromyalgia
3 sleep apnea
4 chronic fatigue
5 chronic insomnia
6 depression
7 anxiety and stress disorder
8 nausea and lack of appetite due to the pain
9 chronic migraines
The spinal injury is 9 years old now and the only other pain relief that works in opioid pain medication wich over 9 years my tolerance has gotten quite high at the time of accident 40mg of oxycontin could handle the pain but now after years of degeneration my dosage is up to 120mg 3x 40mg /day as well as a prescription for 120 percocets every month , 90 toradol muscle relaxants, paxil,amitriptilyn, Cessamet ( synthetic marijuana capsule) but the main problem is even with the opioids I have to take I still have a pain rating of 3 -4 out of 10 all the time and muscle spasms still drive it up to 8-10 and have caused me to fall down the basement stairs (about 18 steps) about 14 times now each time they had to take me out by ambulance. For the last 2 years I have been buying what MJ i can afford when its high quality to give me some relief when i have an extra 40$ but this is not enough so i spoke to my doctor and told him about how marijuana helps with every problem I have including sleep apnea as when I manage to get to sleep it doesnt wake me up every hour or so in fact in the last 5 years my sleep journal my DR asked me to keep shows I havent slept more then an average of 3.5 hrs per night so basically I dont think there is anything but marijuana left to help me. I did call the medical marijuana access division today just wondering If I had anything to worry about with getting my licence and they said well you have a category 1 illness and all those category 2 illnesses so I dont see the administrators refusing you your licences to use and grow . And I have to be able to grow as I could never afford to pay for it as I am on a Disability pension and MEDI Herb isnt covered especially with my doctor wanting me to ingest at minimum 4 grams per day and inhale up to 4 grams per day ( he wants me to get a vapourizer for this to limit the smoke) but at 8 grams a day there is no way I can afford 240grams per month at 5$ per gram from health canada.
So what do you think ? Will they screw me at first and make me get a lawyer? or will my letter from a PAin specialist who also runs a series of methadone maintenance clinics and knows all about addiction be enough to not make them think twice about saying okay give the man his licence.
