Let your mom know that Tylenol and Vicodin are very bad for your liver---something you don't have to worry about with marijuana. You also should mention that in the US, on average there are 32,000 deaths a year due to prescription drugs and NONE from marijuana.
Check out the NORML website for additional information.
there is no chance in hell a parent will let their son smoke, please grow up and dont waste their time
Where do you live? I had no idea pot could be an alternative medicine for scoliosis! If she knows you smoke already and your doctor agrees it helps with your chronic pain I don't see her problem with it. I too believe pills are more dangerous than weed and wish I had a legal script.......Keep trying and good luck.
its better to get it legal than illegal. Does she know that you already smoke marijuana. If not, tell her. illegal marijuana has all kinds of toxins in it that medical marijuana doesn't. It's much better for you.
u need a better alternative for the back condition.
marijuana is just making u forget u got the back
problem but not really helping the underlying situation.
how about trying vitamin therapy and doing situps to
strengthen your back.
the smoke destroys major vitamins like vitamin C from your
body.
U need to replace vitamins that the pot is taking out.
Calcium and Vitamin D is great for the back bones.
So also try better alternatives and still try to get your prescription if the doc will allow it.
www.norml.org has a lot of information about medicinal uses.
http://www.a1b2c3.com/drugs/mj007.htm Has some info, although some of it is biased
www.marinol.com is a synthetic thc rx that can be paid for by your insurance (though not as effect as the real stuff)
If she is real religious show her Genesis chapter one verses 11 and 12. It is a clear reference to weed. How can she argue with god?
If you already smoke marijuana, and you are still having back pain as a result of scoliosis, why would marijuana prescribed
by a doctor help you?
