Man turns to marijuana to escape side-effects from pain killers - Video

This is absolutely ridiculous. Sativex, by the way has been approved and I myself got the go ahead. A nasty snake in the grass though, you have to foot the bill yourself. $695 a script if you please.When you are a pensioner that's just not possible. So it seems that I too will have to endure pain some days off the scale.Wake up Medical Profession in N.Z. My sympathy goes out to Mr.Coote
That's of course what the judges etc. are saying, does'nt help you with daily pain unfortunately

This is crap. He should left alone. Being a person on meds, I have been told by couple friends to use marijuana, I haven't, but am tempted. Overseas they call it medicinal marijuana. I think there should be an allowance for marijuana for medicinal purposes.

I understand where this man is coming from.

for years i have suffered chronic pelvic pain, have had multiple operations and nothing has worked.

after having a c section with my son, that aggravated it more and i have been backwards and forwards to the dr for different pain killers, pain modulators, the lot. the side affects are horrible.

i smoke marijuana now, as i get no side effects, my pain goes away, and i actually feel normal again like when i was 14 (im now 21)

so after years of suffereing, being on all the pain killers u can imagine, marijuana is the only thing i have found that actually works for my chronic pelvic pain.

they should let this spray drug into our country to help out people who cant find any relief from pain killers prescribed from doctors.

it would make my life a hell of a lot easier, and cheaper too, as 100 bucks a month on drs just for a different pain killer is beyond the joke. especially when you cant afford it being a solo mother.
