User Reviews for cannabis

I have Fibromyalgia,PTSD and anxiety. I used a candy and ate half,then at bedtime I put 2 drops under my tongue. I got a HORRIBLE reaction!! I had anxiety,panic,dizzy,heart palpitations,severe heartburn and my chest felt like it was on fire!!! NO MORE for me!!!

Several doctors have been unable to find the cause of my degenerative neuropathy. Pharmaceuticals help some, but not enough to justify the extreme adverse side effects, including strong suicidal tendencies. Marijuana completely eliminates the pain, without any adverse side effects. The major problem is that I don't want to go around stoned all the time, so I only use it at bedtime so I can sleep. I am eager for my state to approve medical marijuana so I can get the type that eases pain but doesn't have the psychotropic properties.Read More Read Less

I cannot use narcotic drugs. I have a bad reaction to them. My doctor recommended that I try vaporizing marijuana. I had never used it before. After 4 years of use I have found it to be the best for the pain of degenerative arthritis. I grow my own and have found the use of it has helped more than any OTC or RX drug. I use it every evening for pain relief and a restful nights sleep. I take a break from using it every month for about a week.

Helps with inflamation in my joints, and seems to modulate my immune response, which is why I started using medical cannabis. It helps with depression and anxiety associated with having an autoimmune disease. So far I am able to avoid drugs like Methotrexate to treat my MCTD.

Juicing Cannabis leaves gives me complete control over my temporal lobe epilepsy, and partial complex seizure disorder. More effective than any of the dozen or so pharmaceutical drugs I've tried and way less side effects. Only complaint is how much effort is involved in maintaining a daily juice regimen. Although medicinally legal in my state(and 34 others)it is still seen as a "drug" and looked down on, casting a dark shadow across my entire lifestyle. As if epilepsy wasn't hard enough.

i suffer from severe anxiety and depression. i also suffer from an eating disorder. i use cannabis as a treatment and it truly helps me. im able to eat without a severe sense of failure or depression, im able to go out in public without an anxiety attack.. its prevented me from attempting suicide, self harming, purging.. it helps me so much and its basically harmless. i highly suggest this as a treatment. ive been using cannabis for almost 4 years and have never had an issue with it or my health.Read More Read Less

I have had no bad experience with marijuana. It helps me deal with every day stress and anxiety. I have been using this medicine for 3+ years and have had no bad side effects. I really think the side effects on this website needs improvement. Everyone is different and reacts different to every drug out there.

I have used medical cannabis for several years to treat numbness in my thighs and a burning sensation in my feet that interfere with my ability to sleep at night. Smoking or vaporizing help me to get to sleep at night but edibles work better to allow me to sleep through the night as their effect lasts longer. I have taken this with half doses of Ambien or Lunesta but unless I am having a very difficult time going to sleep this is not required. I wake in the morning refreshed and with a clear head. I experience far fewer problems sleeping now. In general my neuropathy has also improved since I began this treatment.Read More Read Less

the only problem comes with finding out just what is the right does.I don't have to keep running back and fourth to my doctor so he can charge me 250.00 for a visit and a drug test which Medicaid doesn't pay for! BTW I've never nearly od'd from taking all my pill all at the same time nights and mornings an I'm on a lot of med now my wife has to give them to me now.

It helps me get to sleep and stay sleeping for 6-7 hours. RA for 8 years.Past 3 years averaging 4 hrs sleep nightly pain and no comfort. Noticeably less tension in shoulders and less stress overall.

After having shoulder surgery, opiate pain killers that were prescribed did nothing to even dull my pain, I could barely move and couldn't sleep at all, I was in agony. Plus I don't like the idea of taking highly addictive opiates. I have a family history of being resistant to pain killers, so I finally I decided to try smoking a little marijuana. Almost immediately the pain decreased to a very manageable level and I was able to get decent sleep.

My pain goes away. It also helps me with nausea. I can do more things. Sometimes it gives me an appetite.

Should be #ReLeglaised and never should've been made illegal while Opiates are pushed. Cannabis has never killed unlike Opiates. Non-addictive and effective while keeping you looking young with all it's anti-oxidant properties. Keeps you healthy and fit while keeping your blood pressure at an optimal level. Recommend 100% before I'd recommend pharma which I won't touch. My Mom's been addicted to over the counter Codine and it's ruined my life, she told me if I can get it legalised she'd consider trying it instead.Read More Read Less

I have used marijuana for 7 years since being diagnosed with HIV and having begun treatment. I had my gallbladder removed as a teen and have suffered with Irritated Bowel Syndrome for decades. These issues made taking the HIV meds a big deal as they wreak havoc even on a healthy digestive system. I tried using pharmaceuticals to stop the nausea and vomiting but if you can't keep the pills down they can't work. Marijuana works so much faster - instant relief, as well as having been inhaled instead of ingested, there wasn't the concern you get with deciding whether it's safe to take another pill after vomiting. As well the marijuana helps to keep my appetite reasonable. This is also an issue with HIV meds. It's hard to stay healthy if you don't eat properly on top of worries that you won't keep down what you do eat. There are three different types of marijuana, the main two being Sativa and Indica. Indicas are the strain you want for nausea control and appetite. I personally don't get much relief from the sativa strain and the third, ruderalis is uncommon. As well, out of the few people that find they get anxiety or paranoia, it is more often than not brought on by a sativa. That brings me to the method of acquiring. Medical marijuana clinics are your best bet. I find they may charge more for the higher quality strains as well as the organics and imports, but you are able to chose from a wider selection. Besides strain names and types, often average levels of THC and cannabinoids for each strain are given. This really helps you get the relief you need and not something for treating pain when nausea control is needed or vise versa. Another great bonus to medical marijuana clinics are their variety of edibles, tinctures, sprays and drinks now available. You don't HAVE to smoke marijuana to get relief. Ingesting works as good and even better for some patients. Some clinics are also said to be looking to stock suppositories as they would be even more effective. Read More Read Less

In 2010 I was in ICU for 9 days because of massive GI bleeding, and my doctor told me I cannot take NSAIDs. I have peripheral neuropathy and sleep apnea. My CPAP machine shows an increase in AHI and periodic breathing when I use codeine and hydrocodon, so I can't take them 8 hours before going to sleep. I started using the MJ using a vaporizer with good results, but lately I started using MJ edibles. I find that using the edibles allows me to lower the dosage so that the euphoric side effects do not hinder my daily activities. This allows me to reduce, but not eleminate, my opioid usage. On a side note, I just started using a TENS unit in the morning that also helps considerable. Read More Read Less

To tell you the truth its not me that has the diabetes and he uses MARIJUANA everyday and the pain stops for him. the thing is that you would have to get an indica for the pain.
