Hello all. I hail from East TN and am looking for more info on medical marijuana. We do not have it in the assbackwards state but I have chronic back pain from degenerative disk disease and have a heart arrhythmia. I have smoked maybe 2 joints in all my 39 years and both of those were over 20 years ago. Any suggestions for pain relief and general relaxation are appreciated as it is damn near impossible to get a Dr. to give me an rx for pain meds so I am going to do what it seems that most others in the same boat are doing, toking up. Or would making some brownies or other culinary delights be preferable for my purposes (Once I get my paws on some that is) ?
