You had shingles and got through it without smoking marijuana. But you don't think others could, is that right?
I find it hard to believe, check that, impossible to believe, that marijuana would work better for shingles than any other drug out there. This is the first I've heard of that.
It is a central nervous system shunt.
All pain is radically dissipated by this herb.
Your doubts stem from ignorance.
Wow... You're not very good at reading, are you. I never claimed that MJ was going to be good to treat the pain from shingles. Oh, and by the way... Due to the sort of "affliction" that shingles is, normal pain medications don't work all that well on many people. One rather effective treatment is with certain anti-depressants. But I suppose that you'd be against that too, since you don't think that anti-depressants should work on "pain." As you stated, I also said I do NOT use MJ, but then, I also do not use narcotic pain killers that I have Rxs for. I also said that there are documented cases of people who hace killed themselves because they couldn't deal with the pain. I also said that I've had tow of the most painful conditions a man can experience. I said that in order to present my "bone fides" on pain, if you will.
My point is a simple one... That when a person is in chronic pain, they should be able to use what ever it is that gives them the most relief.
By the way... If you ever suffered a torsion of the testicle, you wouldn't be joking about it. Imagine a blacksmith with your testicle on an anvil, and with every heartbeat, he brings his hammer down on your testicle. It's not just painful. If it's not reversed rather quickly, your testicle will become gangrenous.
