doctor certificate/permission

[mimjess]

I have always had problem sleeping but it’s getting worse recently. I have seen my ex mother-in-law eventually taking about 8 different pills a day so I refuse to take sleeping pills. I know marijuana helps me sleep since I have tried it a few time before.

 

I will see my GP very soon to ask for a doctor certificate/permission to use marijuana for medical purpose. Since I am new to this area, I have only seen him a few times. My GP is very nice and helpful but looks quite straight.

 

Does anyone have any suggestion how I should go about it please?

 

Thank you very much,

mimjess

G'day Mimjess,

 

It's good you've been able to get some good nights of sleep.

It's a shame that most Dr's won't realize the benifits that Cannabis can have for sleeping problems.

Make it a human rights issue if you get raided and they take your medicine .... get to a doctor ... have him prescribe you treatments, have them fail ....... tell him why .... leave no other opportunities ... have it on record .... have other evidence of the ailment etc ..... take the bull by the horn.....

 

peace n pot.

Thanks Greenseas.

 

Pity I have to take this hormone thing every night while I know cannabis is the answer.

It is a pity Mimjess. I've never really had a problem with sleeping, so never had to deal with taking prescribed drugs to try and fix the problem.

I have been smoking for a few many years and I know when I crash out at night I tend to sleep pretty solid. I reckon it's one of the best aspects of Cannnabis.

Not allways easy to obtain though..

If you’re still using the OTC melatonin, then you’re only using a very small amount (nearly placebo) and it should be completely safe. It should also be remembered that melatonin is produced naturally by all humans to help us sleep. It’s a completely natural hormone.

 

Cannabis is very effective for many medical conditions and is obviously the safest recreational drug known to man. But it should only be used to treat a mental illness with extreme caution.

 

Personally I would never advise someone to start smoking weed purely as a sleep aid, it just simply isn’t an effective medicine for insomnia.

 

If I don’t smoke for a week or two, then a few nice pipes will put me into dreamland. Problem is, a week later I need to smoke 5 grams a day of the same weed and I’m still not guaranteed a good night sleep.

 

Imho, you should only really use cannabis medically for a physical condition. Other than that, you should probably just keep it as a fun recreational past time. You don’t want to end up like me with a serious habit, which gives cannabis a bad name.

 

Then again I suffer from High-Functioning Autism, severe depression, social anxiety and insomnia and find that cannabis is the only thing that really helps, So who the fuck am I to tell others it won’t help them, right?

 

Peace

Thank you Jabez.

 

5 grams a day is a lot...

[greenseas]

5 grams is way to much...

I had sleeping issues too, tried all sorts of sleeping tabs etc, all work for a little while then they ALL fail, and make me feel shit during the day. Nothin beats greens ability to get you a good nights sleep. I ran out of bush, and couldn't sleep for a week, lots of fun...

Anyone tried a solid day`s work...?
