I live in one of the states that legalized medical marijuana early on. It will soon be legal for all adults, medical card or not, probably all over the country. Just like alcohol.

I know many people with MM cards. Most of them were old stoners who wanted to get high without risk of arrest and they proceeded to use it excessively.

You state you have a nutritional problem that requires you to eat a very high calorie diet, something that is hard for you to do. Wasting disorder -- where people lose weight even when they take in adequate calories -- is one of the illnesses that medical marijuana works for. It works better than any other drug for this problem.

I'm neutral to cool on medical marijuana, in general. But you have nothing to be ashamed of. MM helps wasting disorder.

It also helps the painful spasms caused by M.S., glaucoma, and disorders that cause the body to excessively burn calories.

As long as you learned your limits and don't overdo it, I could not under any circumstances look at you with disapproval for using MM.

BTW, I've read that for people who use it for wasting disorders, ingesting it in a caloric food, like cookies or brownies, is the best way to take it.

I wish you the best and hope your health gets stable and improves.
