I want to begin this thread because all the time there are people which use cannabis not as medicines. I would like to tell you this story and also to read through yours. . I do not approve of this but there can be someone who will read this thread and will change there mind about the use cannabis.
so..
"It helped with Migraine Headaches, Anxiety, and Depression. Now you may say that duh it helps with depression but that is a very ignorant and uneducated statement. It helps with depression in the sense that it breaks the depression cycle so you can get on with your life and function. It makes you realize that you do have the potential to better yourself and helps you move on in life. I have tried so many anti-depressants and anti-anxiety meds and they have all failed me and some have actually caused worse symptoms which I am still experiencing. Marijuana provides relief and gives you a new outlook on life. It doesn't make you instantly happy by any means. It just gives you the ability to function and then you can realize your full potential. This is called self actualization and is the final stepping stone to success in life."


Comments would be greatly appreciated. Thank You.

Thank you for sharing.

I myself have eplilepsy. MMJ can help me or it can hurt me. I have to be very careful of what I use.

Do I still have to deal with epilepsy? Yes, but it does help control them :). If they are controlled, then I can live a normal life.

I have Anxiety and Depression. Cannabis has helped me forget about all of the irrelevent things and focus on what i need to do to move on and be successful. Its much easier to cope with my stress now than it was before i had a passion/hobby to fall back on. I think thats another big part of the effectiveness of cannabis. If it wasnt so enjoyable to get that relief i just would not be as happy. And thank god for WT. Such a useful website.

I fell down a ravine in 1995 and crushed a section of a nerve in my lower back. After a car accident last year, I was back on Vicodin for a few months but it wasn't helping anymore. After unsuccessfully trying several alternatives while under my doctor's care, I tried MMJ.

MMJ has completely replaced Vicodin as a pain relieving sleep aid and as a bonus has allowed me to dream at night again and wake up alert, unmedicated and ready to start my day.

I use MMJ in treating my back pain caused by severe scoliosis, as well as for the migraine headaches (at least 4 a week) from two previous head injuries.

Whenever I can get my hands on Romulan I get as much as I can afford, because it totally neutralizes my migraines! It is the only medicine that keeps me functioning normally when I have these splitting headaches.

Not to mention the prescription I was told to use for my headaches(pill wise) was 200 for 6 pills!?! Thats just robbery when I can pick up better MMJ that lasts longer!

Hi i have arthritis and a slipped disk in my lower back. MMJ helps with the pain and depression. It is not unusual for someone with chronic pain to be depressed, as a matter of fact its hard not to be. I dont think of myself as a negative person but having pain sucks!!! And if my control slips every now and then its usually because Im out of meds! Also have gone the pill route ( still do from time to time) and its not even comparabile, Nausea dizzyness and a whole host of others. Now with MMJ I feel much better and only use pills when things get out of hand. So heres to WT keep up the good work!
