One of my favourite topics. Yes, I smoke pot. And I do it on prescription with free delivery through my pharmacy. What sounds like every stoner's dream has a sound medical background.
Before this form of therapy, I was plagued by incessant fasciculations (muscle twitches) all over my body, especially in my extremities, stomach and shoulders. At night, I had at least one, sometimes several, violent cramps, mostly in my legs and in my throat and lower jaw. Whether constant restlessness and insomnia were a consequence of this or, as orthodox medicine assumes, symptoms in their own right, remains to be seen.
The fact is that even the mixture of Katadolon (muscle relaxant), Apydan (anti-epileptic), Zopiclon (not necessarily a weak sleeping pill, similar to benzos) and all kinds of different painkillers, accompanied by nasty side effects, could only provide partial relief for a very short time. We are talking about two to four hours at the most - at full doses of the synthetic poison cocktail.
In contrast, 200-500 mg of cannabis in the evening is enough for me to prevent all the above-mentioned complaints from arising in the first place. That corresponds to just one joint spread over the whole day. It's sad that you have to figure this out for yourself after reading about it on PubMed in an American study.
The only disadvantage of orthodox medicine: Compared to my previous medication, the classical pharmaceutical industry no longer earns anything from me.
In this sense, happy smoking. ?
