I'm sorry about the drug tests Oldman, that sucks you can't medicate with cannabis. I told my doctor I also smoked and he was fine with it when I was in pain management, it cut my dosage of pills in half so he thought it was great for both of us (doctors don't like to prescribe lots of opiates, if they are a good doctor anyways lol) , have a talk with your doc and see how he feels about it
I was told if the DEA checked his books he would lose his ability to prescribe
controlled drugs otherwise he is cool with cannabis. This has been told to me by
two other doctors. I need to get to CO or CA then I could use both.
:peace:

Yea, 80mgs 3x a day it sucks but the spinal neuropathy is a bitch I had 3
points of contact between my spinal cord and blown disks in my neck.
They fused c2 - c7 and want to start on t1 - t5. I told them no fucking way.
I have 12 screws and plates with support rods in my neck. And upstate NY
winters really suck when I get cold the pain is almost intolerable.
:peace:
My father in law had a chain brake and a saw log hit him in the neck and drove him in the ground two inches. He has had a bunch of surgeries, and takes opiates for pain.

In NY you have to sign an agreement not to use any illegal or non-prescribed
drugs or go to more than one doctor for pain management and it is coordinated
by computer with the NYS DEPT. of Health.

It's no fun but if he can get off them he'd be better off with high CBD pot
or any med-ables or CBD patches.
Upper spinal pain is no joke I've been close to suicide more than once because of the pain.

Yeah, some docs are a little more loose then others. I had the whole pain contract thing too in NY but was still able to smoke. The main reason they do the drug test wasn't to see if I was using other drugs but to make sure the drugs they gave me were in my system at the proper amounts basically to make sure they drugs are being taken as prescribed and not sold or taken all at once. I always got a mellow Dr somehow though. I wish you had one that could let some mj slip by the radar :( I feel for you man, I had to quit for other drug test reasons and it was a rough few years, I hope the NY law changes soon instead of the bs one that's in place now. Good vibes to you man, things will work out

Thanks Alpha, I get down pretty deep sometimes and I'm sure the oxy isn't helping any.
I wish I could find a pain doc that wasn't so strict, my old family doc was cool about it
But he moved his practice up to Saratoga and transportation is rough.
I've been smoking for 47+ years and this shit really gets to me if pot is so bad for you
how did I run a 8 million dollar a year printing facility for the state? Stoned every day
I supervised pre-press, print floor, warehouse, and shipping dept.'s along with all the
camera work for 25 years.
I'd get high going in, coffee break, lunch and going to my second job every day.
At night I ran an aquarium and pet supply store for a friend of mine, at home I bred rare
tropical fish all done stoned to the bone.
Thanks for letting an old man vent, sometimes I need to it's tough going from a 75 hr.
work week to disabled in a flash.
Thanks to everyone in the 600 for making me feel like a part of something again.
:peace:

I get rx for Percuset (sp?), Vicodin and Norco for pain. I try no to take it at all but sometimes I end up biting pills in half to take just a half during the day. It's just enough to take the edge off of the pain and I can continue working. My Dr kows I use MJ mostly and only take the pills when I feel I have to. He does not typically recommend MJ as a med but he is the one who suggested it to me a few years back. He was really funny about it, in the way he recommended it to me and he later asked I was using MJ for pain. When I asked why he asked, he said he noticed a significant drop in the RX meds I was taking. I wasn't refilling my scripts as often and didn't even realize it, lol.

I didn't like having to drive after taking a pill. They make me feel high but not in a good way. It doesn't bother me at home but if I was to ever take the pills during the day and had to drive, I'd be a little screwed. One pill will put me in the DUI range for sure. I don't notice it with a half pill but I do notice a reduction in pain so I stick to halves if I am still working.
Worst part of having these pills at my disposal is when friends ask me for them. I don't give them away but I always feel bad for saying no. They cost me too much damn money to give them away and I'm not interested in selling them. I typically will only getasked once by someone but every once in a while someone will flip me some shit for being tight with them.

I hear you, my buds do the same shit. I have to go to the dr. every month to get a new script. I'm lucky
I have ins. so my pills only cost $5.00 but it cost for the dr. and gas to go. They also count my pills I have
left and discount leftover pills and piss in the cup! but none of my friends volunteer to drive me to my
appointments and yes a couple have given a ration of shit when I said no, needless to say I don't see them
any more.
I've been thinking about dr. shopping but the ins. co. doesn't like that.
:peace:

Booz and canna for me, can't forget the daily nicotine fixes.

I'm lucky to not be in any physical pain and lucky to have not developed any seriouse drug problem considering the scene I grew up in and my personality. I'm the type of "everything in moderation" fella ;-) Booz is the only one I kinda slip on, not terrible though.

I have insurance but my copays are higher than that. My rx ranges from $15-25 each and I have six to fill every month. There are some others that only get filled as I need them but the six get filled every 30 days or I lose the rx and have to go through a bunch of crap to get them started again. My wife figured out that, even with smoking MJ, I'm spending almost $150/month on rx pills. The ones that only get filled here and there are $45 each.

The docs had me on 60 mg of oxy and when they cut my script I started smoking full time and ended up telling the doc I didn't need the pills anymore. When he asked why I told it was because of the mj and you could see the light bulb go on in his eyes....and I'm over 60, too and in a non mj state.

:peace:

Hey bro, did the mj cut the jonesing back when you stopped?

So I was gifted like 30 low Ryder 2 beans over our honeymoon.

Now I'm not one for autos but if even half of those popped that would be a quick decent harvest.

Maybe all 30 will pop and would have a harvest in by mid November...
