I am a severe arthritis sufferer. I have had 9 foot and knee surgeries most recently hip replacement surgeries. After trying every type of pain management techniques including at least 10,000 vicodin no doctor on the planet would prescribe anything to me. (just kidding on the amount But I made Rush Limbaugh and Brett Faver look like a joke.
As a staunch conservative I was first against POT, but one day I saw a collective sign here. Pressed the buzzer on the door went in and spoke with the owner luckily he was my age 48. He suggested I get my doctor to write the recommendation. I went back purchased some purple cush. WOW what a difference, my life had been completely been consumed by finding a doctor who would prescribe pain medicine for me.
Now, no more. My usage of medical marijuana is off and on some times just two tokes a day to help me get to sleep.
