Hi all,
I've been lurking around here for quite a while and just recently decided to become an active member. And, I'm glad I have! I've used MJ on and off for 20 or so years, recreationally. In the off years, it was due to job restrictions, testing, that type of stuff. About 6 years ago I began having issues with my back, hip, and a few other items and was diagnosed with Psoriatic Spondyloarthropathy. That's as hard to type as it is to pronounce... Anyhow, I began going to a 'pain clinic', which essentially is a legal dispensary for pills. Got quite addicted to pain pills for a few years, lost my way, almost lost the family. Went cold turkey on the pain pills and wound up in a sweaty, shivering ball in the corner of my bedroom for about 5 days. Tell ya what, though... never felt better after I came out of that. Was like being reborn. A few months later I was able to quit smoking as well (after 21 years). Hmm, sounds like cigs were my gateway drug to weed.. :) Since my health began declining, I had wanted to try and see if MJ was able to help my condition. I haven't been able to smoke for the last few years due to my job. Things have changed, and I was finally able to test it out! It has been transformational for me. I really had no idea how effective MJ could be for pain management. Unfortunately, I live in a state where they're gestapo-like for drugs, so I don't expect MMJ here any time soon. As a matter of fact, I wouldn't be suprised if it's the last state in the union to approve it. I certainly don't need to tell any of you readers how messed up FL is, after the election fiasco in 2000. Anyway, it's nice to meet you all I look forward to chatting at ya, and picking your brains for grow-tips.  Creeper

I totally agree with Dain Bramage, why make the pharma companies' wallets fat when you can grow your own medicine. I am really pulling for Fla. to become a compassionate state.

Welcome aboard Creeper!
This is a great community and I'm sure you'll feel right at home. Respect for ditching the pain meds.

Awesome - thanks a ton, everyone, for the warm welcome. Yeah, I'll never touch the pharma again. That stuff is bad voodoo from start to finish. I look forward to hanging with you all on the boards.

I guess this will be where I say high and intro myself. I live in FL too and just recently found out that FL has the worst Marijauna laws in the country. Education thru BAD F'N luck. Oh ya a script for pain pills, any kind I want, is only a phone call to a doctor away but a roach is worth a year in jail??? Go figure???

I'm in the Tampa Bay area. Orig. from Maine so I know what you mean about escaping the cold. Been here 17 years never looked back. Went to Blue Ridge GA for a couple of years and met some really cool people. Any one ever been to Camp Regge in Isabel? I meet the rastta Brothers & Sisters that live there and put that together. They have a kick ass band called Natti Love Joy. Very good people.
