Marijuana and SJS

[Hairball]

First of all remember that I am a hillbilly...common sence is not genitic, since there are no forks in my family tree. I hope in my posts I do not tread in anybodys water...sometimes people dont understand what I am saying and I don't want to come off disrespectful. Each and every one of us suffer in some way..and will go to any lengths to find relief..so this is my story about smoking medical marijuana..
Rembering the first two symptoms of SJS dry mouth, and itchy dry eyes..and dry this and that...dry,dry...dang, I am dryer than a popcorn fart ! And I was blessed with wonderful dental problems...after all the lower jaw bone graphs and my teeth falling out I have great plastic ones now. So cousin Buck (the family stoner) is over and tells me that this medical pot will help me with the pain thing...yeah, I thinking...no pain hmmmm..Okay !!! light that bad boy up!!  Guess what!!!! that is one of my biggest mistakes ever...my eye lids were sticking to my eyes and had to grease them...one of my favorite things to do. Any of us that wear plastic teeth know that moisture is what keeps them in. I then realized what the term "cotton mouth" really was..I was so durn dry I couldn't swaller any liquid..and the munchies set in...need I say more..  I wont let some dumb bunny cousin talk me in doing that one again....It did not work for me...just my 2cents

Yep, me again..I forgot to mention that I suffer greatly from brain fog...i call it DRS syndrome (don't remember s%*t) Smoking pot made me look really look hard for my brain..for the life of me I couldn't figure out were I put it !

Hairball, Well I can't even begin to imagine anybody with brain fog even thinking about smoking that stuff. it's said that it burns the brain cells, shoot I would thing those of us struggling would try as they might to hold on to every brain cell they had.

Truthfully I can't speak to this fact, but it is said that it does really help with some pains, or does it just dumbs the part of brain that deals with pain, killin off cells as it go? Or is it just a reason to use? Don't know enough about it to accept or reject this concept of it being used for med.  for pain.

Hairball, You tell you coussin, it's against the law to share px med. and maybe he won't offer again! You never said if it helped with actual pain.

Hi 

I've certainly read that it's meant to help some MS sufferers and can also be useful for arthritis.

There isn't the medical stuff in this country but there was a local woman arrested for supplying local pensioners. She used it like herbs in soup and also cooked it into chocolate. I don't know if it's as drying when eaten. It's not something I've tried recently. One of the kids at work did offer to supply me - but I declined.

I would think smoking anything would make the dryness worse. I used to be a smoker but nowadays other people's smoke really goes for my eyes, mouth and windpipe.

Take care - Scottie

Hey Hairball!

Medical marijuana, hummmm, that would put me under my desk for a few days or so (or someone's desk that is! ). 

Take care of yourself and be safe out there (one day we'll have to compare who has the most "hillbilly" relatives, I'm pretty sure that mine will give yours a run for the money!  -

Are we talking WV hillbillys?

[Bernice]

Harlin,

Girl where you at? Ain't you over in England, or am I getting you mixed up with somebody else?

Cuz, if you ALL the way over there how you know bout WV hillbillies? Or anybody else's for that matter?

Which brings me to ask a question I have wondered a time or two before, Are there hillbillies in England?

[Patze]

Hey Harlin,

Nope, mine aren't WV hillbillies, but there are various pockets of them around the country, and I'm related to one of them (I wish it were WV, as that is some pretty country!).

Oh my, yes! That is beautiful land, we drove through there on our way to Ma. It was breathtaking!! The hills and slops with the quaint homesteads puts you in mind of a beautiful painting.
While on our way back home we stopped to get something to eat and met some of the nicest locals!

Glad some of you have been to our beautiful state!
hugs harlin

[Patze]

Harlin I'm not that far from you, and we're approaching a foot now, and the thought of having to go out and digging out the car is not setting so well with me at the moment.

And I've through that beautiful state a couple of dozen times so far, and I hope to be able to hang out there a day or two this spring.
