FLG - I looked up medicinal marijuana laws for your state and no, you cannot have marijuana prescribed for insomnia - only seizure disorders are a justifiable cause for a medicinal marijuana prescription in your state.

I use marijuana together with Elavil and it helps a lot. I probably could be on it without Elavil, but, I would then use more marijuana, for one, and lose the headache prevention benefit of Elavil, for another... so I do not experiment.

But you should know for the future (if S Carolina legalizes a larger scope of medicinal use or if you move to another state) that it is a viable option and that you can use cannabis in a completely "sanitized" way, without any of the attributes of marijuana culture. I simply get dark chocolate (I buy cannabis in tins - a tin contains about a dozen and a half of coffee bean-shaped dark chocolates that do not taste like cannabis and do not smell like cannabis but taste and smell like regular chocolate). I have never smoked, either pot or tobacco, nor have been a part of any subcultures (I sense that you are not, either), but I do derive a tremendous benefit from marijuana's sleep-inducing properties.
