Re: Medical marijuana ~OT?

[Guest guest]

I have never been a marijuana user, but after reading about its effects against

pain, I asked my PA about it. Though medical marijuana is available in my state

of WA, he does not prescribe it, and it is very costly. Then there is the

problem of finding a reliable dealer, a safe supply, with no mold or other

contaminants, the question of smoking, ingesting or vaporizing, all too much

trouble.

So he prescribed Dronabinol, the generic for Marinol, which is synthetic THC. I

have taken it for a few months, for the arthritic pain not well managed by LDN,

and am relatively pain-free for the first time in years. For me, it seems to be

the best available adjunct to LDN for pain. I can't take NSAIDS because they

cause gastritis for me.

I have taken LDN for fibromyalgia, asthma, dermatitis, & psoriasis for about two

years, with great success, and will not give it up for anything!

I take 5 mg. Dronabinol about an hour after LDN, then go to bed. With insurance

it costs about $20.00 a month.

Yes, it does, for me, with no real side effects, just some welcome relaxation

and drowsiness.
