Decision

Im not sure if theres a direct point to my thread so remove it if needed. My situation is im on pain management for several things and im so sick of the opiates. I take quite a bit and they dont really help a lot but if i miss a dose i can feel it. Im also a stoner since age 13. I stopped smoking then recently would smoke a little after my test at pain clinic and stop so i can pass next test. Working but i feel sooo much better when i smoke. My body relaxes and my mind settles and i can focus on my songwriting and guitar playing. I guess im looking for advice. Im thinking of talking to my Dr this month and tell her i want off the opiates so i can smoke. Maybe they can taper me down or just give me suboxone for couple of weeks. I love cannabis and i miss it. Im sick of being a zombie. Im moving this week and sharing a house and ill be upstairs lift and shes cool with it. I think its time. Does anybody know medical marijuana status in NC? Ill ask my Dr. I think its only for cancer patients. I guess my thread is for advice on what to do about this. Once its done, its done. I cant be in pain 2 months from now and go running back to pain clinic. This dec is permanant. Usually i give it 20-25 days smoke free but i got 12 days but i think im gonna smoke a bit cause i feel absolutley terrible. What would yall do? Sorry if this is not a viable thread. I just didnt see a thread that would give me advice. Its a shame i cant have both. Anyway, happy new year!!

You are looking for House Bill 78 (for North Carolina) to pass legislation before it can be voted on.

If passed, your condition would most likely fall under one of the requirements for medical marijuana in NC, meaning that you would legally be able to use MMJ eventually:

Do you want to speed this process up of legalization but don't know how?
