I use edible cannabis. It works wonders! I recently did without it for 3 days. I needed a walker. I was hunched over, and very fatigued. I also had so much pain. But I took the cannabis two nights ago, and I'm walking upright, much less pain, and I'm not using my walker.

JUST ANOTHER EXAMPLE OF A QUICK FIX.

My my legally prescribed medication is enough mind altering fror me.
Each to his own.

My own opinion is that the taking of this 'mindbender', is, I think, feel and believe,
an act of sheer madess.

The taking of this 'mIndbender', they call canabis, is just another example of,
that which permiates and floods this site.

This being that too many people are looking for and indeed expecting a, quick fix.

Well let me tell you. there are no quick fixes.

The dealing and managing this confounded impostor we call Parkings Condition, is hard work.

Shoot the messenger if you will.

As it is, I have no time for negative and defeatist talk.

Any bullits fired at me for taking this stance, I will just let bounce off.

I am on the straight and narrow.

I like being me, I am the best at being me.

MAINTAIN A WINNING POSITION .

I use a medicated rub (2:1, CBD:THC ratio) on my painfully tight muscles, and I find it very helpful. I doesn't make my mind feel any different, but it helps with pain.

Yes, I have recently, with my Neurologist approval, tried the Hemp Oil and while it did help my pain; it makes me SO TIRED (as though I weren't already exhausted most of the time). I have tried using it at night and that works fine. Since I have no sleep issues though...what's the point?
