Testimonials of Medical Marijuana treatments

 

Here are some excerpts of testimonials.

I was injured several years ago in an auto accident. Soon after the accident  I developed a condition called Fibromyalgia. I am have been examined by many doctors and have been declared totally disabled by our social security system. I continue to suffer from severe and chronic body pain, frequent migraine headaches, and subsequent debilitating fatigue and depression in trying to cope with these unending cruel symptoms. My physicians do not hesitate to prescribe massive quantities of oxycontin, demerol, methadone, and recently marinol. All of these drugs have had  at first limited, and eventually no success in alleviating my suffering and pain. And all of these drugs if used on a regular basis  reek havoc in my body. The only meaningful relief or success I have had in dealing with my condition has been the several times I have recently used marijuana. The medical personnel I see acknowledge marijuana's effectiveness in helping my condition, but will not write a prescription for me, even though it has become legal on the books in this state (arizona) to do so. Their response in due to the threat by the Federal Government to revoke medical licenses for anyone that has the balls to take such action.  So my present dilemma is in finding a doctor within my state brave enough to help me. Do you or any of the people within your network have knowledge  of qualified medical doctors willing to help me within my area. If so please contact me with such information. Thank you for your efforts, and god bless you for your present actions.

"I have been using marijuana for about 20 years for the control of pain, nausea and stress associated with Rhumatoid Arthritis. The first thing I noticed with the use of marijuana was it seemed to allow me to step back from the pain, resting my mind long enough to enable me to have a break from the pain, which I feel would have broken me were I not able to give my mind a rest from fighting the pain on a daily basis. It left my mind clear enough to function unlike the conventional prescribed pain medications."

"I suffer from medically documented migraine headaches - for which I've been given numerous pills, injectable medication, to lessen the blinding headaches, vomiting, nausea, imbalance, inability to sleep or eat. Without question - a few puffs of marijuana works better to heal the migraine and it's side effects than ANY of the numerous medications that I've been prescribed over the past 5 years, without the debilitating effects of the pain pills."

Here is my accompanying doctors letter: To whom it may concern.
I have determined after careful examination that this patient would benefit from the therapeutic effects of marijuana. My in depth and careful research has convinced me that marijuana used in controlled and limited situations can be of great value to patients suffering from migraines, the traumatic and debilitating after effects of cancer therapies, and nausea associated with AIDS/HIV and its treatment.

If it is possible for patients to grow their own marijuana at home, in small quantities, I indorse this practice. please provide my patient with the means to do so.

Sincerely
Dr. E__ C___, MD

"I suffer from migraine headaches. I have tried every type of pain medication and NOTHING stops the pain from coming on. Finally I was taking Demerol just to stop the pain and sleep.

I was out golfing the other day and a Migraine came on. My vision became blurry and I became disoriented. I knew the headache would come in 20 minutes and I had no medication and was 1 1/2 hours from home. I was going to leave the tournament and get home. Someone offered me a hit of pot (which I do not smoke) I tried it AND FOR THE FIRST TIME IN MY LIFE! the headache was stopped and I finished my day.
Thanks for the seeds"

"I recently began to smoke again due to illness and desperation, my doctor had recommended it to me, but I said no at the time, so I continued on with medications etc. Eventually I became unable to eat any food at all,  I was existing on juice from a juicer as I could no longer eat, obviously one can not expect to last forever like this. My doctors say it is from extensive neurological damage , so a friend got me a little smoke to try. It has helped me alot, I can now eat as many as three times a week after going 4 Months of nothing but juices!  I know this is not your concern but I wanted to honestly say that I think you are doing a brave good thing for people like me and others. Thanks ; )"

Getting a medical note from your doctor is not an easy task, but with recent breakthroughs in the courts, Doctors are becoming more willing to do the right thing.
Many doctors are not fully educated so the first thing you should do is ask them how they feel about the Marijuana Laws as it pertains to Marijuana as Medicine. If they are negative and narrow minded don't waste your time, see a new doctor, or specialist. Once you find a Doctor that is open minded, tell him of the benefits you receive from Marijuana use, teas, or baking with Marijuana. Ask for a note to declare that Marijuana can help alleviate the symptoms of your illness. Find out the local Medical Marijuana laws in your Country, State or Province. There is much info detailing the benefits for Epilepsy, Migraines, MS and Nausea for AIDS patients and Chemotherapy. Studies show that Marinol (synthetic THC pill) does not work! It may be very difficult to get a prescription for Asthma, Depression and Arthritis as well as many other ailments that are not well studied.

In Toronto, Canada, in (June 99) Jim Wakeford won his case to use Marijuana for relief from AIDS. It was determined that Marijuana should be given to those who need it , and the Government will start the process in June, 1999!

To all The Doctors who may be reading this today please educate your peers and yourselves and don't be afraid to honor your oath.
