Medical Marijuana

[Keith Millea]

I don't have nightmares when I smoke pot.:vroam:

That is a quote from me in another thread.I would like to expand on this a little.I have expressed my thoughts about smoking pot on the DPF at times.I OPENLY talk about using this herb myself.It is important I think to say that I am for medical purposes Legal to use it.So,members and guests,I do not just say these things to be some smart-ass.

When I say I don't have nightmares when I smoke pot,I really mean that.I like many war veterans have PTSD.I am plagued by awful dreams if I don't sleep deeply enough.I take sleep medication to help,but this only helps to some degree.Maybe I get 3-4 hours of good sleep.Now when I combine my medication with smoking pot,I sleep deeply for 8 full hours.NO DREAMS!!!!!

Of course,there are other medicinal uses for this herb also.My State(Oregon) has a list of approved ailments that can be used to enter the medical marijuana program.Sleep is not one of them,but as you can tell from my own experience,it works quite well.I just recently heard that my State is considering other ailments that might be approved for this program,but from this news,it was said that PTSD would likely be the only change to the list.I hope this is the case.Veterans have been trying to get PTSD listed for some time now.IT HELPS!We know it helps.We smoke it whether it be legal or not.It is foolish to think that we would not.If that bothers anyone,I will surely lend them some nightmares....

The list of approved medical conditions:

• Agitation from Alzheimer's
  
• HIV/AIDS
  
• Glaucoma
  
• Cancer
  

Or has been treated for one of the following:

• Cachexia (wasting syndrome)
  
• Severe pain
  
• Persistent muscle spasm, including but not limited to Multiple Sclerosis
  
• Seizures, including but not limited to epilepsy
  
• Severe nausea
