Re: SoCalGal feeling So-so

Flori,

That is so funny you went to the Marijuana route. I almost suggested it, but then hesitated because of the continued stigma! Silly, really. I have a friend who played alot of hockey which as you know leaves a person battered and scarred. He gets the liquid through the grapevine from CO. as it is not legal here yet and swears by it. He once told me a single drop under his tongue does the trick like nothing else. I asked if he got a buzz from it, but he says the THC is removed in the processing, so buzz-free. That seems a slight shame to me, but then I grew up in the 70s! He said he experiences no side effects and has been using it for a few years. For him and his broken down body it has been an absolute God-send.

I personally feel that pain is a game changer. It just ruins everything! If you can get it under control, life dawns so much brighter. I say GO FOR IT!
