[QUOTE="recoveringenabler, post: 520206, member: 13542"] Janet, thank you for your honesty. I don't believe anyone can judge you or your family without walking in your shoes first. I live in CA. where it is legal. I know a number of folks who use weed for migraine headaches, insomnia, cancer, etc. From my way of thinking, it is all about intention, if you are doing ANYTHING to excess where it impacts the quality of your life and your decisions, causes negative experiences, impacts others negatively and you cannot stop, then you are likely looking at addiction. If you are intending to ease a medical condition or de-stess, or use it as you would a glass of wine or two, then therein lies the distinction. I am in no position to judge anyone elses pain threshold or what they need to make life worth living, if your son found something that works for him, good for him. Here is a bit of irony. My friend gets MMJ for a host of ailments, it's legal. She has such horrible migraines that she is locked in a dark room for days throwing up. And then she is weak from it for more days. She lost her job and therefore cannot afford health insurance. The pills prescribed for migraines cost $100 a pill!!! It's WAY cheaper and more effective to smoke pot!!! [/QUOTE]
