will Obama-care pay for my medical marijuana?

**nonsqtr** · 14th August 2009 06:22 AM

I have an intractable medical condition for which marijuana is the only treatment I've found that actually works.

Well, there is one other - it's called indomethacin, and it has horrible side effects - bleeding ulcers, that kind of thing.

And, I have a prescription, signed by an MD, that allows me to purchase and consume medical marijuana in this state (California).

My question is: will Obama-care pay for my medical marijuana?

How about.... accupuncture? How about.... meditation therapy? How about ANY form of alternative medicine?

Do you realize, that marijuana is more effective than Prozac in combatting depression? And Prozac's side effects include damage to the liver, spleen, kidneys, brain, and even reproductive organs - whereas marijuana cures cancer and has NONE of these side effects!

I'll just bet, that under Obama-care, they're going to tell all the depressed people in this world, that they MUST use Prozac, that there is no other choice that will be paid for, and if they seek alternative treatment they will be penalized. Sound about right?

I need a pot scrip. I take Vicodin every now and again, and I hate that shit. I have no idea how someone would use it as a recreation drug.

Can't you grow it, need some tips???

Yes. Growing it properly results in some fine tips.

Here in California I believe that I'm legally allowed to grow six plants at a time.

Most of the dispensaries sell saplings of your favorite strains.

Not sure about the narcotic properties though, pot isn't a narcotic. It does work

as an anti-inflammatory though, so it helps with backs, knees, generalized joint pains,

arthritis, bursitis, like that.
