I'm not looking for moral answers, so please spare me. We can discuss the legality of marijuana elsewhere. :tongue_smilie:

Anyway, has this surgery changed the way you consume cannabis? I'm wondering how much it influences the "munchies" and how soon you can start smoking again after surgery...Mind you, this is not a question you can ask your doctor, but hey.

I have a prescription for medical marijuana for nerve pain and spasms.Sometimes it is the only thing that helps, thught I do not use it often.My pain management doctor knows about it. I expect to do without for quite some time after my surgery- it will be worth it! Ultimately losing the weight is something I hope will lessen my need for pain meds of any kind. Certainly of fentanyl, dilaudid, and pot, all of which I use, the pot is the most gentle!

Meg,

thank you for posting this. I think people forgot that medicinal marijuana is in use. I too have a nerve disorder but MM is not approved in my state. Sometimes I wish it were, because the drugs they have me on are pretty strong and leave me loopy. I am hoping the weight loss with help me as well. Good luck

Kinky,

Why couldn't he just munch on low carb Snacks??? (Think: beef Jerky, SF pops, turkey roll ups) The munchies shouldn't scare you if you are prepared with high Protein, low carb options.

Just a thought.
