My friend is on his way to a medical center about 4,000 km away to have his machine adjusted. The automatic drip thing is not working any more to kill the pain enough for him to sleep. He sounded bad on the phone and said he has not slept for 4 days. I actually suggested to him that he should try some heavy Indica but we do not have a compassion club here and though you can buy weed locally, you do not know what it is.
The reason he has had constant pain for many years is that a surgeon screwed up. Long story.
Just thought I’d post here a little story of why marijuana should be legally available, easily, and in different strains. The government would rather fly my friend 3 provinces away than allow a proper breeding, research, and production facility.
This will change.
Re: Mike
If you really are writing a paper let me first suggest you use proper capitalization. All upper case except, ironically enough, the greeting makes you seem unstable and perhaps a person who shouts at people randomly on the subway.
I am a disabled exemptee and can show anyone how to supply themselves with organic cannabis. I do not charge for my services to the disabled community.
I’d like to thank Treating Yourself for the well laid-out and very informative mag…. ..and this site.
My Name is Ryan McIlvenna, I am a Health Canada Applicant my application was received on Nov 4th 2009, Health Canada called me back on December 4th to say that my application was all in order and that all they had to do was contact the Dr. about the daily amount. On Jan 17 2010, I was pulled over bringing my daughter for an allergy shot. I had just under my monthly limit and presented the officer with the signed application as my card had not come in yet. He arrested me and my 17 year old for possession for the purpose and Health Canada did nothing to back me up. I plead guilty to get my daughter off and am looking at 6 months in jail. My sentencing is in early March. To date my Dr. says that no one from Health Canada has contacted them.
My name is Lou. TY magazine brings power and hope to people in need of being treated with a natural medicine. Marijuana has been apart of my life for 8 years now. I have just recently discovered medical marijuana and know its my true calling in life. Being medical marijuana provider would be a dream come true. Knowing that I would be able to supply people in need with a medicine that actually works is my life long goal. Would anyone have any information for me in regards to finding a patient and become a provider. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks again.
Lou

Let me share with you a little of my own experience w/ the Herbs.I am a bit of a novice, my introduction to herbalism came from My maternal Grandmother who was a bit of a “Wiccan” Healer (Mom called her a “White Witch” we didn’t know the word “Wiccan” then!) whenever we kids got cut or sunburned or tummy aches , she would send us to her garden for this or that herb ,which she would brew into some honey sweetened concoction , say some ancient words over it, and Walla! the road to recovery!!! The whole thing was a process and a ceremony! Being a participant in our own recovery also gave us faith in the cure. ( and Grandmas gentle hand and kind words guaranteed that we would feel better soon!) My adding cannabis to my program came later when I started getting serious migraine headaches in my 30″s complete with visual hallucinations, light/sound sensitivity and nausea!The prescription pills were just too debilitating and nauseating , I realized that I had to choose between the reactions to the meds or endure the Migraine!(NOT!!!) Out of desperation , I grabbed my trusty old Bong, not sure if the smoke or coughing would help or hurt , but when you’re writhing on the floor in pain , you’ll try just about anything ( M.D.’s seem to count on this) After a cuppa strong coffee and couple of bong hits (and they did hurt a first) I was relaxed enough to fall into a deep healing slumber to awake relatively pain free!No more pills! But lest this all seems a little nature biased, my Paternal Grandfather was an M.D. who would send us boxes of pharmaceutical samples and yet so many of them seemed to either address only the symptoms of illness or be so powerful, it was like going after a fly w/ a shotgun.So my conclusions seem to be balanced in my mind having tried both methods.Herbs can harm as well, they must be also used w/caution and respect! Often a combination of western med w/ herbalism can be married effectively in the hands of the right healer! But cannabis has never given me anything other than a kinder, gentler, relief from ailments that I have been prescribed side effect ridden ,Soma Vicotin and hard drugs for , with the only side effects being euphoria or the munchies! We alternative healers and herbalist need a forum , network and academies of learning so that these ancient arts can be coupled with new knowledge and passed on to healers and M.D.’s world wide!

I am a 46yr old mother, since my oldest son was 5months old I ruptured my first disc in my back. I had my first knee surgery at the age of 17 and have since had 20plus surgeries since, many major. I have also ruptured 2 other discs and herniated 4 more. I have had 2 major back surgeries. This has all happened in the past 17yrs. Needless to say I live my life in constant pain and am a prisoner in my own home. I am unable to walk more then 20ft w/o extreme pain and spasms and I am unable to stand on my own for more then 2-3min. The pain meds I am on only give me relief for about 2hrs and I have to take 3x the amount perscribed to get that effect. The only thing that seems to help along w/my meds is marijuana. I have no connections in Iowa as I am new to the area. My surgeon in Missouri will provide me w/ a perscription for medical marijuana, I just don’t know where to get it or if I can obtain in from another state. If there is anyone who can help me with this extremely important situation I would be very greatfull.

Hello Marco and SW ampgrass has been to long all i can say is wow hope all is well been awhile for me fell into the oxy hole but im budding on a old friendly path where all you feel when you jones is a bit of a migraine for a few instead of years peace Smokeyb333
in am very pleased with treatment provided by Dr. K of Chronic Disease Consultants in Temecula CA. He shows compassion for his patients and is skilled and knowledgeable in the field of Pain Treatment as well as shows thorough understanding and psychology behind chronic pain and suffering.
I have suffered from Arthritis during the last 10 years and have seen several doctors California to the East Coast and tried all types of medication with no or limited success.
I am now seeking natural and herbal alternative medicine and that dramatically shown immediate improvement in my overall medical condition without pain and health risk associated with man – made pharmaceutical medicine.
I am now able to take full benefit of Proposition 215 in the legal and safe use of Cannabis, more popularly referred to as Pot / Weed or Chronic, in the treat the treatment of Chronic Pain, ( Arthritis ) and Migraine. It also shows promise in the treatment of other debilitating diseases and ailments.
I am a patient who is seeks alternative treatment and should not be treated as a Criminal. Pr0p 215 allows me to exercise my rights as a citizen and be protected by Law instead of fearing the Law.
The medical use of Cannabis in the treatment of chronic pain and suffering has been documented over the centuries and used by tribesman in Africa and Gurus / Wise Man of India and Middle Eastern Regions through the centuries with great success as I personally witnessed and experienced them .
Its finally here in California and 16 other States to followed…
Live and Learn !!!!
Thank you and more power !!!
The hardest part for most patients medicinally using for the first time in their lives is not always taken care of. I was getting my recomendation renewed and I met a gentalmen who was 75 and had gotten of all things prostate cancer. He much like a lot of us could not take Vikidine, Codine, or most of the good pills. His Doctor told him to try medical marijuana. He was waiting for his paperwork as was I, when He leaned in and asked me, “How do you know what kind you need?” I was sort of supprised to hear him ask that, because who knows??? He had never been into”pot” in the 60’s by his own account. It dawned on me that Dosage is one issue that is discressionary, yet no one really sits down and discusses the benifits and differences with you until you go to the dispensarys. Then unless you go to the right one it is a crap shoot. Also “Western medicine doctors” are handing out the marinol pill. This is the worst idea since synthetic crack!!! If you want to help sick and dying people don’t give them shit that makes it worse. I Know 3 people who are very very sick and have been prescribed this pill. Not one has had a positive reacrtion to it. Find your strain, to ease your pain, stay off the pills they’ll hurt your brain!!!

I have a medical marijuana exemption in B.C., I have a grower now but am forced to pay for my subscription.. I am on disability and can’t afford the $1,000 a month for my medical marijuana.. Can anyone find me a grower in my area and or show me what I need to grow.. I was told to ask for Rocco.
I need some information from ANYONE that can help. I live in North Dakota and my dad has stage 4 melanoma cancer. We have been told that medical marijuana is illegal in this state and cannot get it for him. Is there any place close that we can go to get it and we hear now that it is in pill form for cancer patients. Is this true ????? Thank you for your time !!!
Hi Marco,I was wondering if you’d had time to deal with my subscription yet.I wrote to you some weeks ago to subscribe,along with a cheque from my partner-Anna Schlapp.We both checked your stall out at the UK expo,i was having a smoke out back when “someone” at your stall gave Anna some Cheese x skunk#1 Bx2 seeds.Well i’ve got to say they’ve done Venus seeds proud,really nice smoke-Thank You.I’m sure your busy and International post can be problematic,lets hope the mail goes smoothly,unlike the Heathrow BS you told my Mrs about which sounded a nightmare.We couldn’t make the big one in Holland,hope you and the mags got there ok and had a great time.Thanks again,Sean.
Hi TY, I love your magazine. I just thought you’d like to know about this event in Toronto that happened on 420. I was there, as you can see me on the front page. Yes, I swear to The great gods of cannabis that is me. The article was about the 420 celebration peace rally, and how a man brought a gun and apparently pistol whipped someone, but he got arrested. I thought this was an absolute outrage because marijuana is about peace love and freedom. It actually quite upset me. I also did not know my picture would end up on the front cover of the Toronto Sun. I was just there with my friends for the rally and we all just started getting our picture taken. I didn’t mind because I am proud of smoking pot, it’s better then alcohol and cigarettes. But the photographer did not tell me I was going to right on the front page. Once I saw it the next day I thought it was quite great…and funny. But some people did not. But I don’t really care about what others think of me. Anyway, I was no where close to the man with the gun. But I really don’t want you to think Toronto is unsafe, it’s a great city. Some people all over the world are just not peaceful, and choose violence, which is not always the best choice. But just so you know the celebration was very lively and lots of fun other than the short unfortunate incident.
I thought you’d just like an update over here in T.Dot.
Hope you have a good four twenty!

The Global Marijuana March for Hungary will take place in Budapest on Margitsziget, May 9. 2010 (Sunday) and officially starts at 4 pm.
The number of protesters are already going to be in the low thousands, as is indicated by the more than 1200 participants who have signed up for this event on facebook.
Please support us by inviting all you facebook friends to this event and in any other way that will draw attention to this.
A new, conservative government has just been elected with a two-third majority. The political left has been wiped out, neonazi movements are gaining momentum and only the people themselves can act against the erosion of civil rights. Help us spread the word, we need all the help we can get.

Want to change people’s minds about Marijuana?
Dear Friends:
I’ve written a NEW flier “Good Plant! Bad Law!” And I believe it’s going to change a lot of peoples mind’s about marijuana, and get many in the Christian Community on our side, and help us legalize medical marijuana for everyone – As God intended! – So please print a copy of the flier at http://neweden.org/mm.pdf, and make copies, and leave them on car windshields in Shopping Center and Church parking lots. For together we can reach millions before election day and abolish this unjust law forever!
Thank you, and God bless you!
Sincerely, Jim Atto neweden.org
I need to get a volcano cause I live in a appartment where it would be a hassle to smoke and contain the smell for one. To make things worse the Doc. said I can not smoke so with very limited founds and no steady supply do to knowing little about growing my medicine, and no friends who do. So my only way to get one is win it please someone tell me how many volcanoes did Treating Yourself give away in 2009?
Colorado Medical Marijuana Festival will be happening on Sunday, May 30th in Longmont, Colorado.
Over 50 vendors will promote understanding and awareness at the most compelling
Medical Marijuana event of the year. Through entertainment and enlightenment, the
Sacred Herb Fest will provide the opportunity for members of the community to learn
more about medical marijuana and its many benefits. This annual celebration is open to
the public, 18 years and older, for people to engage and explore in this growing industry.
The Colorado Medical Marijuana Festival will highlight the best in the industry, and
promises to educate, empower and enlighten through medical marijuana and will
reverence unity in the community.
First and foremost, good job! I am always looking for medical marijuana patients that would like to designate me as their grower. Is there a FREE service out there that connects patients with growers. If not, there should be. Sincerely Yours, rbarnes.
Greetings to Marco and the TY Crew,

I live in Cedar Rapids Iowa. Recently I found out that Iowa legalized the medicinal use of marijuana in the mid 1970’s but has a law that still makes marijuana a schedule I substance. Our pharmacy board recently ok’ed the medical use of MJ. This quote explains our problem pretty clearly
Lloyd Jessen the board’s executive director “said the board cannot establish a distribution system… See More for medical marijuana, create a list of medical conditions that marijuana could be prescribed for, set criminal penalties for violating the law, or put in place a quality control system without legislative action.”
http://www.thehawkeye.com/story/IA-Medicinal-Marijuana-062110
I am looking for a way to get relevant information from the other 14 medical states so that I can submit it to the legislature, the pharmacy board, Iowa Patients for Medical Marijuana, as well as for my own records. I will take any type of information you have to offer from links, contact information, or documents.
I am a mentally disabled Iraq vet that also has seizures and i get the best relief from medical marijuana. It keeps my anger down, helps me eat and sleep and does a better job at controlling my violent thoughts then the medications they keep putting me on. I will take any information, contacts, links or any direction you can point me in.
