Whats taking so long for the truth to finally come out !?? The law was a LIE and thats that! Ex President Nixon LIED HIS ARSE off to shoot down the Schaffer report he did'nt like he made up LIES to get this medicine on the
wonderfull schedule 1 list that has all the real drugs that should be there but NOT MARIJUANA! What a rude joke that Americans have been told for years!!! Come on with the come on!! LEGALIZE it before it's pushed to more underground places, Somehow I have the confidence in america to do the right thing.And take the huge profit out of it that making it illegal has made it a real money maker!!!! Wake up america!!!
I'll start with the fact that I live in Israel. As far as medicines, the FDA and laws we could be the 51st of the United States.
One wonderful thing that happened here is the approval of medical grass. The needy patient must get a letter from a specialist, in our case a neuro, which is sent to a professor (whose specialty is in mental health and has used MJ with psychotic and schitzophrenic patients with excellent results) who reviews the recommendation of the treating dr and then approves or doesn't approve the use of grass for the patient. If approved, the patient receives a license to use and or to use and grow marijuana for personal use.
I am lucky to have a neuro who is willing to take a chance. With his help I received a license and have been using MJ for the last 5 months. It definitely relieves the pain of spasticity and helps me sleep better at night.
Since I do not want the tar and other leftovers of burning this plant and I am not a smoker, I bought a "vaporizer" and inhale the vapor that comes up when the herb is heated for a few seconds over a flame. I find this method suitable and effective.
Good luck to those of you who aren't in places where MJ isn't yet legal.
You've definitely enlightend me today. I didn't know that medical marijuana was legal in Israel, nor did I realize that you could use a vaporizor to get the benefits without the smoke. It sounds as though your system has some checks and balances, keeping the best interests of the patient in mind.
Thank you so much for the information. I'm very happy to hear that it's working so well for you!
