Hey all,
I'm a retired vet, and I wont get into detail, but I have chronic pain from injuries sustained. The VA is more than willing to send me bottles full of vicodin every month for the rest of my life. Problem is, I hate taking them (no s##t) because I can't sleep and I turn into the biggest Ahole in the world when I do take them. I am concerned/paranoid about getting my MMJ license because of what I have heard about the VA, pain meds, MMj, blah blah. I have found amazing relief from PTSD issues (I dont jump at every noise I hear when I self medicate), I sleep at night, the pain doesn't bother me, and I can live with other people. Its a no brainer for me but I'd like some input from someone with experience before I make any decisions. Thanks in advance. Live for today, tomorrow never comes.
