Medicinal Marijuana - HELPPPP

Alright I have this thing due tomorrow - haven't started it yet. I need to make an interview w/ a medicinal marijuana user.
I don't care if you are or not - but if you know a lot about it - i'd love to hear from you.
Why do you use it and what does it do for you? Do you think you'd smoke marijuana if you didn't have a medical problem? Do you think the government has the right to tell you what to do? Do you think there should be certain limits set to the distribution of medicinal marijuana?
Thanks guys!!!!

i know a bit about it...my uncle is a certified medical user. maybe if you made a list of question, we could all answer them. then, you could kind of combine or chop up those answers.
i could answer some of those question just from talking with my uncle - Why do you use it and what does it do for you? -Chronic back pain from a deteriorated disc in his lower vertabrae. It is a major alternative pain relief. using opioids and other certain prescription pills have addictive side effects along with many other undesirable effects.
Do you think you'd smoke marijuana if you didn't have a medical problem? -yeah...he would.
Do you think the government has the right to tell you what to do? -to a certain extent, yes.
Do you think there should be certain limits set to the distribution of medicinal marijuana? -limits are a good way to control the privelage of having drugs legalized. limiting distribution is kind of like insurance against possible crimes. if you can reasonably limit the amount someone can posses, they are less likely to distribute for their own profit and take advantage of the legalized cannabis system. it's a touchy subject..because a 'dose' varies greatly from one person to another.

alright, she has MS, and it's commonly prescribed for MS patients. In fact, her dr would not prescribe medical marijuana for the reason of thier was a scare that "the feds are going to bust the Dr's" when in fact, that this is not so, they cannot go after the dr's. She changed dr's because of this.
Marijuana, and what it does: For her, when she is in a 'sick cycle' as she calls it, she 'get's up' and does things, its like burst's of energy. Also, it's used to control 'spasms' she has heard of this, but had never really understood what people were talking about, then like, friday, she had some spasms, thinking it was a MS exasterbation (spelling?), she was really scared, cause she's about 1 or 2 away from bieng completly crippled. She smoked some marijuana, and the spasms stopped. she was able to continue on.
when she's in a 'healty cycle' she says that yea, she does the laid back thing and watch tv (probably better so that she doesnt wear her self out).
she takes a large amount of drugs, and she has a few types of marijuana that she uses, so like, when she has a really sick day, she'll smoke #1, (she has them in little containers with numbers on them). depending on the day, she'll smoke whichever type is needed for what she wants to accomplish.
governtment involvement: well, what the government doesnt understand is that marijuana treats the sypmtoms of people who dont have very long to live, and are often depressed. mj helps with the mood, so it's like this. mj treats, and makes you feel good. getting stoned is a side effect of the medicine, which will usualy go away if the patient continues to smoke the same type of marijuana.
the regulations are pretty sketchy, since every persons doseage is completly different, the federal government prescribed medical marijuana to 25 patients in the 70's or 80's, and only 5 of those are alive today, every 25 days they recive a metal tin at thier local pharmacy containing 11oz of medical grade marijuana, grown at a university (illonoise i think), so if you break that down, that's almost a half oz a day, and these people are still functioning. now that's a lot of pot!. now my nieghbor, she smokes small amounts (she's been smoking more since she's seen that's what other ms patients are doing).

Why do you use it and what does it do for you? I use marijuana when I have Migraine headaches, helps me relax and get to sleep. It also helps the efficacy of other medicines i.e. Vicodin/Hydrocodone, MSContin/Morphine. Do you think you'd smoke marijuana if you didn't have a medical problem? Besides using marijuana when I have migraine headaches, I use marijuana everyday; its better than being an alcoholic! Do you think the government has the right to tell you what to do? Hmm, this is a pretty general question and can be answered many ways. I believe marijuana should be legal to poses especially when it is no more harmless than tobacco or alcohol. Do you think there should be certain limits set to the distribution of medicinal marijuana? Since it is quasi legal for doctors to prescribe marijuana as medicine I believe it should be distrubeted as a Schedule II Controlled Substance, requiring tighter controlls on distrubution and prescribing, needing triplicate forms. At the moment I do not have a prescription for Medical Marijuana, however I should be getting one here shortly; I know of several doctors here in town now.

oh, i forgot an important point, is that when she is sick and has nausia, she'll take a handfull of pills for whatever, and marijuana keeps them down long enough for them to kick in. cause if she throws them up, then she would have to take more, and more untill she feels better, possibly taking too much of the medicine.

I thought I would finally share that I got my Prescription for Medical Marijuana last Wednesday. Its just about how I thought it would be; and with two dispensaries in town there is, atleast a little, competition. You can purchase everything from Grade A Mexican Sativa to Top-Shelf varieties like Train-Wreck, Blue-Dot and MorningStar. Also verious prepartions of Marijuana such as Goo, Pressed Hash/Hash Oil, Honey Oil, plain Hash, Kief, Cookies, Brownies, Candies and Sodas. Also at one dispensary they have clones and at the other I know they allow you smoke your prescriptions, though I didn't notice a Vaporizer which is most often the prefered method of enhalation.
