Hello All

  1. I'm new to all of this but want to tell a bit of my story. I'm 44 and have only smoked occasionally until a few months ago. Now, I partake every day and it has allowed me to live again.


    I have a condition called non diabetic peripheral neuropathy. I'm also a musician (mainly guitar) and have my own home recording studio. My medical condition took all of that away.


    A specialist prescribed me a medication called, "neurontin ". It worked up to a point but it levels off as a tolerance is built. Option 2 was narcotic treatment. ..... Same problem....but that one comes with a monkey. I don't want that monkey. BOTH options cause the one thing guys don't wanna deal with.....impotence.


    So I did some research. .... and found my 3rd option. Ganja.


    It does a better job with my condition, doesn't have a tolerance level, and not only does it not cause impotency. ...it actually enhances sexual intimacy for me.


    Which would YOU choose?


    Point blank.....it needs to get legalized across the board. I really want to get involved in the cause buy I'm afraid to draw attention to myself for all the obvious reasons.


    All I know is that I can grow my own medicine. My family is supportive. And the best thing is I can play with my grandkids again.
     
  2. Precisely. People only support legalisation (Maybe not in your case) until they need it, and once they've realised the amazing benefits it has, good to hear you have found a way around it. :)

     
  3. [​IMG]Oh I've always supported it. But the only times I smoked were pretty much after playing gigs. I would always get offered to toke up before a show but I refused because I thought it would affect my performance.
    Kinda ironic that the very thing I would refuse before playing is the very thing getting me back to playing.
     
  4. I should also mention that I'm a sativa guy. I've tried some hybrids that were pretty good, but pure indica just flat shuts me down. Takes care of the pain but......couch lock.


    White Widow is my preference above all others and currently trying to find a way to safely buy those seeds for my grow room.
     
  5. Congrats Op thats great news. Ganja is amazing. Op, how do you indulge in ganja?
     
  6. You're the first person besides myself with peripheral neuropathy (that I know of) on the board. I was diagnosed several months after a severe beating left me hospitalized for weeks. Which also is the cause for my PTSD. I tried every kind of pharmaceutical imaginable to treat my condition but nothing worked until a psychiatrist told me to try Cannabis for my PTSD. Little did I know at the time it would also help with the peripheral neuropathy. Best choice I ever made and I won't go back to pharmaceuticals.


    Welcome to the board. I'm sure you're going to enjoy the time you spend on here. I know I do. :)


     
  7. I can understand and accept that marijuana isn't for everyone. We are at the point now that arguments against it having medicinal value are almost absurd.
     
  8. I'd choose the monkey!

    And somehow white widow is an indica dominant hybrid. One of the best.

    Welcome to the city!
     
  9. Glad you found cannabis again for your medicine. Best of luck OP
