The thing is I live in Pennsylvania and we just legalized medicainal, only BP isn't on the list of approved disorders... however PTSD is. Now I don't think I have PTSD but I did have a gun pointed at me when I was 6 or 7, and I think I could persuade my pdoc to be on board if I play that out. anyone here think that's wrong... to basically fake one illness to get the meds I need?

Back when I lived in the states I smoked a lot of pot. It calms my anxiety, helps with pain (I suffer from fibromyalgia amongst other things), helped with my insomnia ect...it basically helped me function a lot of the time. I didn't get diagnosed BP until after I quit smoking it altogether, and now looking back I understand why it helped me so much with problems I had that I couldn't identify.
I would be completely honest when applying to get medical cannibus. I really wish I could get it here. I probably can....but it would mean traveling to Copenhagan or Amsterdam and that gets expensive, it's not legal in Sweden.
