I have degenerative disk disorder, and hurt my back really badly. I'm only 18, and although my back hasn't been bugging me too hard, it has in the past, and I'm sure the MRI of my back doesn't look so good. I still get pain if I tweak it the wrong way. When it does hurt, weed helps it a ton, and it at least makes the brace they give me somewhat bearable to wear. Do you think that counts in the state of Rhode Island? Even if I live near the border in Massachusetts?
