Pain. Muslim. Medical marihuana

I have peripheral neuropathy.  45 yrs young. On disibility because I can't function well enough to keep a job. Lately , even my Coctail of meds isn't fighting back the pain of stabbing, burning , itching , numb toes and feet. And when I get extra stress , I get the same in my hands and face. Sometimes I don't even have enough money for Rx copayment. The only way I get relief these days is to take Oxy or Xanax and pass out for as long as possible. Quality of life ? What's that ?

In Islam we refrain from pork and alcohol. We are not to intoxicate.

Oxycidone and Xanax make me unproductive and stupid. How much worse, if at all, could pot be?  I want to see if medical grade pot will improve my quality of life. I'm not talking about  "cheech and Chong " here ... Like , man there's smoke pouring out my car windows , dude,  ( insert crazy, mellow laughter )

I read an article in the Sunday edition of Tampa bay times newspaper about a woman in her. 60's taking hits off her pipe in the morning. That's it. Once , in the morning. Then , she was functional all day.  (BTW, kuddos to her for being able to tell her story which went front-page!)


IF I get Rx pot, I would keep it secret even from my kids. They are well aware of my pain. However , at 15, 14, and. 9 , I don't know if I'm ready for THAT talk
