I have MS and I WAS using it to help with my many symptoms, including severe chronic pain.

Note that word WAS.

I had to quit because the doctor I go to for primary care is against the use of MMJ so I had to stop being this doctor is now drug testing their patients with chronic pain problems that require legal medication for it.

This truly sucks for me as it gave me some comfort with this very painful progressive disease that I have been dealing with for close to 40 years now.

There are so many people abusing legal and illegal drugs that it has led to this for the chronically ill people like myself.

People say, "Go to another doctor."

Easier said than done as NO DOCTOR wants the likes of me, a chronically ill patient with a disease that has no cure that requires pain medications in order to live some sort of a life. I truly believe it had been keeping me out of a wheelchair but I guess I better start loving one because I am getting worse quickly since I had to stop.

I was hoping to start using the cbds but that is now out for me now as it will cause one to test positive for MJ.

Happy 420 out there to the happy healthy people using this substance from a person that this was supposed to be all about and for.

The likes of ME has been used very well so that YOU can have it!
