I do! I gave up all narcotics for it. I usually wait till evening and have a bowl. Sometimes during the day I'll toke a little. Indica is great for sleep and sativa is better during the day. Helps my fibro better than the Fentanyl patch. I sound like such a stoner. Lol

I have tried it . It's illegal here in florida my concern with even having it in our home is my hubby is an RN and works for the Gov . We are trying to transfer to Albuquerque Nm where they have medical marijuana laws passed . I'm praying we get the job , I really liked the results I do not use narcotic pain meds I refuse to get dependent on them . I won't use steroids either .

I know when it is time to use this for pain or for my mood. I get cranky because I am in pain. I have better endurance for walking and other activities when I smoke or use edibles. I find smoking works fast but vaporizing lasts longer.

@gailcapsin. If you are moving to Albuquerque nm presbateryian (spelling?) Hospital had an RA center that u get to from a referral from your primary Dr. Hope you have health insurance as without none of the RA Dr in the state will treat you. I just lucked out getting one to give me my diagnosis before she told me not to comeback due to no insurance so couldn't do biological.
