Is medical marijuana legal in your state?
Thu, 06/07/2007 - 15:26Topic: Complementary Therapies
Here in Michigan we vote next election. I hate sneaking around and the price is outrageous. If legal I could grow my own and then I would know what I got. I got acess to 50 acres so I could grow a bunch LOL............m

Yes it is but I'm doubtful I can get any docs to RX it for me here. My primary care physician wouldn't even give me Vicodin for crissakes, and I've had chronic pain for over 20 years from a car wreck and 2 spinal surgeries/fusions. I am going to a pain doc soon so hopefully will get some pain relief. the pain is not helping me 'relax' and that is not helping with my seizure disorder is it.
Guess docs here are too afraid of making us into into Ana Nicoles and forget pain meds are there to prevent suffering for those who need them. :(

I feel your pain. I had a doctor like that he gave out pain pills like the were rationed. I hate the sneaking around and the cost but it seems to be doing a better job on me than any pills did. Good luck to you and I hope you find comfort........m

I know that in California you can only grow so many plants per person who has the specific medical need for it. I can't remember the exact law on it, but I do know that where there are medical marijuana clinics, the price is still pretty high. But good luck!! I hope that it passes there.
