MJ helped me get off Vicodin. I was addicted for over 10 yrs, due to back surgery that turned disastrously.
I live with pain 24/7 now, have a spinal cord stimulator and I am no longer addicted.
But it is pot that helps control the pain as much as the stimulator does. I refuse to apply for a "medical" mj card. Being forced to be approved before I can control my pain with a naturally grown plant…they have no business regulating my pain control. And I refuse to allow them to take my guns because of the way I choose to treat my pain.The Gubbmint just doesn't like the fact that they aren't getting a piece of the action.
That's just my 2 cents.
For what it's worth.
