lol, so true! One of my best friends suffered from MS for 12 years before she passed away.

Her doctor recommended trying marijuana. I'm not sure now if it was for pain, but I know that she did have nausea and not much pf an appetite so that may have been the reason.

A reason to legalize it is so that people who need it aren't made to feel like back-street druggies in their attempt to get some for their loved ones. I remember the difficulties her husband had; just what they needed while they tried to deal with this horrible disease.
