Folks, this is great news! The DEA was trying to subpoena medical marijuana records. Yesterday, a US District Court said NO!

We'll follow up on this one.

hi my name is ------ and finely glad a supreme court got it right for a change.

Im really between a rock and a hard place. Iv been sick forever and in 2002 was Dx with MS. Only thing is none of the symptoms I went to the ER 5 times in one month was actually related to MS.

The same month I was waiting to hear from a sleep expert after a sleep study and also Dx with Narcolepsy. Everything from fibro degenertive bone disease so on. Worst flair ups everytime I went off cannabis.

My pain doctor hoped marinol would help with same effects as its a antiflammitory and I cant do the NSAIDs. Already then up to 60 mg of Oxycontin, vicodin, lyrica I was running out of options.

last winter I almost died twice and came across someone who could get me cannabis. It thankfully pulled me out of it to my doctors amazement. Even I didnt think it would raise me from skin sensitivity where wearing clothes made me cry, terrible diarhea, severe joint pain so on.

I stopped the MS shots, got off oxy. Some of the doctors at Meritcare think I have some other kind of autoimune disorder as the worst part is my heart goes out of whack so bad also, and breathing. Stroke symptoms like back in 2002.

I was going to try to organize a group to legalize medicinal cannabis. My doc said if Im going to die I might as well not die in vain. Only thing is now its worse and my doc said I dont have time for that. I wont be healthy enough to organize or my internal organs could get perm damage or worse, my heart could stop.

I thought I could save and plan better and move to Missioula next spring from Fargo ND here. My housekeeper I had desided money was not enough but wanted vicodins to. I wont do that. She quit since she was moving anyway.

Im 48 worked in hospitals, paramedic, EMT, mental health care specialist, medical specialist and was being put through collage by my job at the ND State hospital to get lisenced. I would not of turned that down to be on disability. The only place with doctors here are Meritcare and they got some huge medicare cuts so I cant afford there shitty neuro care, just smoke and we will all shut up about it, take your marinol and WOW she got off years of oxycontin.

In Jan I lose my coverage on copayments for meds and marinol is 800 bucks a month. Never thought I would say I will die without cannabis. Even when others made the same claim I thought it couldnt be untill this autoimmune problem started brain inflammation and heart probs (say no reason for heart to beat to slow, fast double beats so on) but my doc says with my symptoms I got to find a neuro fast, this cant keep happening. Im going to see a doctor outside of meritcare as they think I need to go to the Mayo for a Dx see what else besides MS is doing this, but either way it will be dangerous antiflammitory medicines that they are afraid to give me here.

I talk some docs into giving me a script of prednsone for emergenceys but after so maney years now they cringe and not sure if they will go for it, I get refered back to the neuro and they wont see me now. Its not there prob, Im not asking for money just help with someone I can trust that knows there way around Missouila, so I can rent a room get established and apply for a card. Then rent a apartment or house where I can grow. I am a exellent grower of all things green and would like to donate it at cost to elderly and very low income free or donations. Thats a idea as Iv done volunteer work in the past and like to give back.

My blog and photos over time shows my disease progression till I was to sick for months to post. I can get a doctors report on legitamcey of my story also. But will wait till a responce on how to post.

I reserched cannabis for years as to why its not legal and heavy medical studies. Dont let my spelling fool you as I am known as a brainiac of sorts. I have debated publicly and privately with some politicians and such so was ready to go public as it be a shocker.,
If I knew I had a safe haven and put my money down for rent, got my place rented out I would be more than happy to go public here with the Grand Forks Herald.

I would like to attend the hemp fest in sept. but would have to make sure if I did it be time well spent, make doc appt, look for place to live so on. If you know anyone that can help me there please let me know. Im not sure how I can post in a safe way as Im sure cops here may see my name. I AM not seeking drugs that are not legally prescribed to me, just help with rental places people know of, room to rent or stay for few days till I find a place to rent, so on. Or put in touch with someone going to the hemp fest from eastern ND maybe. TY in advance.

It is sad the number of sick people who go without proper care. There is no quality of life living with such pain and hardship. There is never a chance to heal. I wish I had the resources to help, but I do not. So I do what I can and grow this amazing healing medicine. Namaste

Namaste, can you let us know what part of the state you're in? We have patients in need, here and there...
