In Which States Would I Qualify for Medicinal Marijuana? ?
Question by risks_(with a pessimist): In which states would I qualify for medicinal marijuana? ?
I live in Michigan and while at my latest appointment with my psychiatrist who helps me with me sever anxiety, we were discussing proposal one passing in Michigan to allow for some medicinal marijuana to be used. He mentioned that if the law covered more types of patients to be covered, I would be a perfect candidate because I should be on Kolonopin, but I have an adverse reaction to it (I can not even speak or stand up while on it I get so tired and dizzy) so I am on xanex instead, which is not really the right thing for me at all, and it makes me throw up. But, in michigan only those with chronic illnesses, chronic pain, or seizures get it. In which of the 13 states who have legalized medicinal marijuana would someone with extreme anxiety qualify? I know that california covers that, but where else?
Is Alcoholism a Disease?
Question by Leah K: Is alcoholism a disease?
Some say it is a disease. It’s the only disease where all you need to do is stop putting a specific substance into your body! My father had a real disease, cancer. Boy I sure wish he could have cured his disease by going to AA meetings and simply not putting a substance into his body.
Hey Alcoholics: SIMPLY DON’T PUT THE STUFF INTO YOUR MOUTH! Don’t claim you have a disease. There are plenty of people out there with REAL diseases. All the people with cancer and AIDS would love to trade diseases.
