Me too. May have to go to Colorado to see if it helps migraines. Doubt it.

Got a new pain med, Zomig....nasal spray, weird, but it worked. Expensive even with insurance.

Technically not a pain med. Zomig I believe is available generic now in pill form and works very well for migraines in some people. Go with the pill and save yourself some money. Just as good as the nasal spray.

Whatever we think about marijuana apparently more than 1/2 of adult Americans have tried it. I believe that there are studies that show medicinal value with glaucoma and patients with cancer that have lost large amounts of weight. What I don't like is the double standard in legislation. We don't want sanctuary cities because they defy federal law but marijuana is federally illegal and nothing is done. I believe that marijuana should be removed from federal restriction and let the states do as they wish which is what they are doing anyway.

For those that think natural and diet is everything I remind you that marijuana, cocaine, heroin, tobacco, alcohol and poison mushrooms are all natural. Botulism toxin is natural and can be therapeutic but also lethal. I was told once that a thimbleful of botulism toxin is theoretically enough to kill everyone in the world. True? Perhaps. Natural does not mean safe.

I personally do not want to be on the highways with anyone impaired also on the road. I don't think that any of us want to see someone impaired and carrying. Television always seems to show LEO's in bars partying away and I assume armed. Not a good example.

This doesn't respond to the Honolulu fiasco but I would hope ends the marijuana debate.
