I feel compelled to offer my own testimonial to the healing power of the Herb. I am a Rastawoman and the Herb is my sacrament. In the Rasta way of life we know we can look to nature for all we need to be healthy. Through an ital diet of fresh foods like plenty of fruits and vegetables and whole grains, we can live a long healthy life. In your article you reported the results of a survey you gave medical marijuana physicians. I am under the care of one of those doctors responding: Dr. Jeffrey Hergenrather. He precribed it to me for neck pain (which used to keep me from working but I now I can work) and TMJ (which was a side affect from Paxil. I quit Paxil and smoked the Herb for depression instead and the TMJ is completely gone). I have been using the Herb almost daily on and off for 35 years. In June I fell and broke three bones in my foot. I didn't know I broke my foot and since I don't have insurance, I didn't go to a doctor (plus I wasn't near one for the first couple days after the injury). I am not condoning not getting medical help. If you break something you should seek medical help right away. I'm testifying here about the effectiveness of the Herb for pain and swelling. I finally got an x-ray 17 days after the injury and finally learned that I had broken my foot. I protected my foot those 17 days with a thick sock and supportive shoe. and stayed off it as much as possible. And I smoked the Herb everyday and /or evening. I continued to go to work but elevated it whenever possible. When I went to SF General and they asked me what I used for pain, they were amazed that I only took a few aspirin or ibuprophen, and not everyday. I told them the only medication I take is medical marijuana. My foot is now in a cast/boot thing and I will be under the care of some compassionate orthopedic doctor at SF General wiling to work for low pay. I will soon learn if my foot is mending well. Give thanks and praises for Jah's gift the Herb, the healing of the nation. Lor-I the rebel teacher Throughout history, it has been the inaction of those who could have acted; the indifference of those who should have known better; the silence of the voice of justice when it mattered most; that has made it possible for evil to triumph.

acted; the indifference of those who should have known better; the silence
of the voice of justice when it mattered most; that has made it possible
for evil to triumph.

If i do and i sleep then i can get up 4 to 6 hours later and carry on with my life. If i dont use it sleep is out of the question and i have unbearable pain from anywhere from 8 hours to 3 days. To me its simple and i dont need any scientific proof i already know it helps me. To Enomey people are getting killed every day from drink drivers yet you can still buy alcohol. There are lots of medical problems out there that cannabis can help and it is nothing short of cruel to keep something from someone that helps them ease pain and improve their lifestyle. Ask yourself why drug companies are allowed to make synthetic THC in the form of marinol. Yet the normal person is not allowed to grow or smoke there own natural form of it.

Urban myths about friends of friends of mine are lazy intellectual exercise. Actually tests conducted by English scientist in 2003 indicated that drivers under the influence of marijuana tended to be too careful as a form of overcompensation for the fact that they know they are high. Translated it means that: Ganja makes better drivers! If you friend really did smoke, then he must have mixed that with alcohol. Alcohol and ganja should never mix. Alcohol and driving should also never mix. Tell your friend to stop drinking and driving. Jahdey ^^ Rumors and hearsay are not reliable evidence.
