Accepted Answer

Medical Marijuana: The laws in states that have legalized medical marijuana are quite specific and vary by state. No one on this site can answer your question, because an answer to this requires a thorough history and physical exam in every state, and then a determination if you meet requirements for its use. At age 20, things like migraines and anxiety should not be treated with THC. There are better alternatives.

Question 8

hi, i suffer from bad back pain and sometimes migraines so terrible. i did research and i think i would like yo try medical marijuana, would that be suitable? and how should i go about that?

Accepted Answer

: Not fully clear if your problems might respond to medical marijuana.  (Cannabidiol tincture might be alternative approach with lack of being "stoned".)  Migraines can be prevented, but need to see a neurologist.  Back pain could respond to physical therapy.
Maybe your most effective approach prior to self-treatment is to discuss with your physician.  A virtual consult here at HT might benefit you.

Question 9

could medical marijuana help? i have migraines on an almost daily basis to due to suffering numerous concussions throughout my life. i've tried prescriptions that didn't work. do you think medical marijuana could be a good solution to my issue? thanks for

Accepted Answer

Marijuana : Marijuana has been shown clinically to be a very poor analgesic agent. It is probably no more effective as a painkiller than a mild narcotic. Its' best use is in cancer patients to improve appetite and improve mood and decrease anxiety. There is unfortunately a lot of hype regarding medical marijuana, which has not been proven in clinical trials. I would seek a good neurologist who deals with headaches in his/her practice.

Question 10

does marijuana cause a reaction with anesthesia?

Accepted Answer

Yes: It can compound the affect of anesthesia. Smokers in general tolerate intubation less well than non smokers.  Tell your anesthesiologist about your use.
