I need help

[TidewaterToker]

when i was a kid i got horrible pains in my hands
started when i was about 11 or 12
i would write notes and have to stop and relax my hands because it hurt
i would rub hard on the muscles but it didnt help
always felt like my joints and bones were on fire or cracking
this went on for about 6 months and i didnt tell anyone
even tho my hands would shake like i had been running for hours.....or been doing crack lol

then i started smoking
at first it eased the pain...but i was smoking mids to alright headies at best
didnt really solve the problem
then as i got more into the culture i would get better ganja
mostly widow when i could
it was narcotic and a good body high

and the best part was my hands would cease to shake
i found that certain strains solved my problem perfectly
especially deisel and white russian...i could smoke a fraction of a gram
and i would be fine for the day
although i did indulge sometimes
when i had my own i regulated self medication and it worked wonders

then i got caught
and was on complete lock down
the pain was over powering
i couldnt think about anything else
i thought fingers were going to start coming off

i went to the doctor cause they thought Carpel Tunnel or a Repeated movement thing
but not much showed up on a x-ray

he gave me anti inflammatory medicine but it didnt help
then when i was ungrounded i bought as much as i could and everything was fine

I think it is rheumatory arthritis because my family has a history with it
also i have broken my left wrist, compound fractures in 3 places
had to get surgeory
also fractured my right wrist twice and fractured my collar bone

well now i am on lockdown again for smoking
and the pain is setting in
i try to smoke on occasion but its difficult
i had to resort to hydrocodene and tramadol
but i have a bad history with pain killers
because when i couldnt smoke before i would take vicodin and hydrocodene
and got hooked
i dont like myself on them but it was my last resort...it also gives me cramps and sometiems naseau

i dont want to take pain killers
and i truly need this wonderful medicine
it is the only thing that truly helps me with no adverse affects
only i live in Virginia
so no pot buyers clubs around here
and i want to homegrow....but the penalty is 5 to 10 years
and i have college to think about
i wish people werent prosecuted for the possesion of a plant
i am considering moving to california or a state with medical programs when i graduate, is there any advice from someone who has been in a situation like this
or legal herbal treatments to keep me along
and how would i go about getting medicinal marijuan card when i move

Who's putting you on lockdown? Make sure you complain to them every single minute of every single day!! You shouldn't be the one paying the cost for this thing, if the doctors can't give you relief and you're not allowed marijuana then make sure the people preventing you from using it have to listen to your misery every minute of the day.

There's a company that advertises on Norml's daily audio stash that specializes in getting recommendations: http://stash.norml.org/

Here it is: THCF "the hemp and cannabis foundation" http://www.thc-foundation.org/

Hope it helps man!!

The Hemp & Cannabis Foundation is working to educate the public about the truth concerning hemp and cannabis as well as helping medical marijuana patients. We have several clinics where our doctors help patients obtain a permit for medical marijuana.


We see patients at our clinics in Oregon at Portland, Bend and Medford, in Washington state at Seattle and Spokane, in Hawaii at Honolulu and Hilo, in Denver, Colorado and in Riverside in California. We will soon be opening clinics in Reno and Las Vegas, Nevada. We have helped over 24,000 patients obtain a permit to legally possess, use and grow medical marijuana.

i am being put on lockdown for smoking by my parents
i live here so it sucks
moving out in august
and freedom back by may
i have a feeling this arguement will escalate later
and whenever i bring up the issue they brush it off as nonsense
and call me a user
i think Rhode Island is getting a med program...and something is happening in Mass.
iono i am to wits end

i am being punished for smoking in safe places where i wont get caught
and i never drive messed up
i'm not out doing keg stans and popping oxy like many of my fellow classmates
i have degressed to only marijuana
and not excessively, just frequently
i am responsible about it
if only they would understand

i am a huge advocate for medicinal marijuana
going to the march on May 3rd
and i love to talk about its benifits in a educated and articulated manner
as politely as i can to whoever is interested
its amazing the literally endless number of benifits that come from both
hemp and marijuana




i know this sounds cheesy but i want to major in botanics and agriculture
and move to northern california and grow with Eddy Lep
just a little pipe dream of mine

Yeah, Rhode Island has medi cannabis. That's not far from you.
Yes, cannabis alleviates pain as well as inflammation.

Thank god. I remember back in high school when I had surgery on my leg.
"Fuck vicodin for pain... I'll just smoke a bowl"

This is OUTRAGEOUS! Your parents are taking something away from you and you are having to experience chronic pain because of that. Oh my God, if I was in your situation, I would say, "FUCK no! I'm smoking marijuana, this helps me not be in pain. I don't care what you think, you don't have to endure this pain, so shut the fuck up."

my family has gone through alot in the last 5 years and i always make the argument

hey you had ur bottles and bottles of wine and ur wellbutrin or whatever the fuck you use to help you with ur problems....and now i have very real problems, and ur taking away my vaccine, my medicine, and my life blood

i have switched to smoking right after school before anyone gets home
and my friends have come to rescue me a few times when i really need it
i"m getting a new job and should be moving out the moment after i graduate
so i'm trying to stay incognito and smoke secretly
its just a difficult process for the 40 days that i have left in this hell hole
