The opiod criss which is not our fault hy the way is now on crackdown. All these things they gave us they are now taking away. Lawsuits all time high. Get away from the chemicals. Try to switch over to cbd trials where the marijuana has little or no thc and look into lecithin.. low dosages of opium is found in there. I am looking into as well. Melatonin will also give you a much needed calming affect. The thc will give episodes of anxiety and you need to consider no thc forms of marijuanna. Hope this helps. Blessing Cro.

Med mary helps many with anxiety tension and stress while the other meds help control certain neuro pains is my understanding. Get a mary card and stay away from big pharma when and all possible. Thoughts go out to you. I am going through much and trying to take all of this new diagnoisis in myself

What does the medical marijuana do to help you? Kentucky is debatin the law now, but if it doesn't stop your pain, what does it help??

Hit or miss for sure. Anything non chemical based is always worth a try. I like to steep sleepy time with ginger root in my coffee pot when I need that extra relaxation in my throat with local honey.
