>Hi Ed,
thanks for the info. do you know anyone who takes it? i wonder where the good old U.S. of A. is situated on the question of this new drug. do you know? we'll probably never see it or at least it would take a lifetime to get approved.
my neurologist, who is over 60, told me he would never prescribe any medical marijuana product as it was too addictive. it is illegal in Illinois, my state, anyway. i think there are a few states that might allow it, but my state of Illinois is pretty conservative.my pain is such that at times it is pretty unbearable. i have taken muscle relaxers and tylenol #3s, but don't like the side effects.
i used to smoke marijuana when i was a kid, but quit when i was 20. i became a born-again christian and gave all the partying up for a much richer existence. now, at 45, with the MS pain and all, i might be tempted to try it again, but i would not do it illegally. as i said before, i have enough trouble right now w/out breaking the law.... i know a guy who was found with 1 pound of it a few years ago and was busted big-time: a felony.
i wonder what other US of A people think? i have heard one can smoke marijuana in Canada w/out fear of prosecution... is this correct?
you Canadian folks have us U.S. people beat on a lot of fronts.
