That situation is really bad. MS remits sometimes, but the medicines are a whole different story.

We just don't have anything that works. And we don't even know what methyl fumarate really does. At least you're not living where I am; resources are scanty here.

People keep harping on that stem cell research has come leaps and bounds in the past couple years and has been known in some cases to reverse the damage that MS does. However, that only works in cases that are diagnosed early...mine was diagnosed when I was 42 and by the time they had pinpointed exactly what the issue was, it was already beyond the point where stem cell treatments would have any effect at all.

As fer the geography...my biggest issue is that the single most effective pain relief by a long shot just happens to be illegal. Was my daughters idea to move to a country where it wasnt illegal, but I just dont have the resources fer that so one makes do with the tools at hand so to speak.

Ive tried every pain relief that is legal and still nothing so much as gets close to being as effective as the weed...nothing. The closest legal rivals leave ye a dribbling vegetable or turn ye into an addict...sometimes both at the same time. Ive been there, done that which is why I have no hesitation whatsoever in breaking some silly laws made by those who have never felt real pain and are incapable of understanding what its like living like this...or trying to.

Mother nature and her sense of humor eh?

I was in remission fer nearly a year...now Im not and Ive relapsed again...last time it lasted 4 months and when it was really bad, the muscle spasms were so severe, I used to intentionally dislocate my shoulder to try and break up the monotony of pain with a different sorta pain. When it comes to pain, I know all about pain...but controlling it is not without issues sometimes ^

Prohibition only ever helps organized crime, they should face up to that and just tax it instead. You should get it free on prescription.

They gave me some aerosol thing last year that was on trial here in the UK...while being widely available on the internet fer almost a decade. It was absolute rubbish and gave me several ulcers inside my mouth, nothing fer the pain whatsoever and didnt half pee off the ddctors who were claiming it was the next best thing since sliced bread. Theres a cool reason why the aerosol thing never really took off...politicians just dont get it and never will, so I care less about what they think tbh.

But ye...prohibition is an absolute joke. If some people had even half an idea about just how easy it is to source, they would not sleep so easy at night. Demand has never been greater and supply is massively profitable with 2000% returns. The government and the pc brigade lost this war a long, long time ago...now they just wasting resources and all they really achieve is ruining lives and making distribution a pain. They cant stop what has become a runaway train and it will almost certainly get a lot worse for them.

Not that it bothers me too much because I grow my own and havent actually bought any in nearly 5 years...that being the last time I was caught. Slap on the wrist, fines, warnings ye whatever yer honour can we hurry this along please? All it did was slow me down fer a whole month with the fine being the worst aspect cos it was nearly a grand which I simply didnt have. Id have preferred 3 months inside cos I gotta few friends there already...be like a little holiday cos when ye get out, all yer fines are cleared.

Its also a lot easier to source in prison btw...screws dont earn much salary and they have families who have to live in the community, so there are ways and means of making sure it stays easy to source. A distasteful practice but its not new and has been getting steadily worse over the years to the point where the screws themselves started selling it to inmates so their missus could afford that new bmw and three holidays a year on a screw salary? Hmm...I leave others to judge the merits of such things, keep me head down and mind me own business. But I do know it happens and I know the problem has been rife fer a long time.

Few years ago, some of us would discreetly cooperate with the authorities to help keep the worst elements off the streets...we have kids too ye know. It worked and the problem became much lesser fer a time...until the public found out and demanded it cease and desist immediately. Just about everyone I know got busted, including me...and since then nobody helps the authorities because of what they did. And now the problems have gotten so much worse. See a pattern emerging yet?

Things could have been so different...but bad things happen when ye betray those who have put their trust in ye, and thats exactly what the police did...and now everyone is paying the price as a result and finding they dont like the price one little bit.

Prohibition hurts everyone and benefits noone...not in the long term anyway. The sooner people face upto the issue, the sooner we can resolve it...but prohibition here means that lifelong terrorists are well funded and well armed and drive mercs and range rovers...I see what prohibition does every single day...what it creates. Those who are absolutely against legalization are making it worse...they may well be well intentioned but it doesnt change the fact that very bad people make obscene amounts of money from their dogged persistance in keeping it illegal. People and society in general did this to themselves quite literally because they tried to ignore the issue...nowadays, its almost impossible to ignore and its getting worse.

If I had the greens m8, Id leave this hateful place and never look back, take my wee lady with me and start up again somewhere nobody knows me. Thats my dream but will only ever be a dream...I simply dont have the resources and probably never will. Add to that I have a criminal record and that bars me instantly from my first and second choices ^

I've run out of rep.

Wonder how much they charge per gram of rep...I made all my squares go away anyway so no worries...its not a popularity contest but I appreciate the gesture nonetheless. Im way calmer today than I have been all week, so Im not losing the plot with everything today...m8 of mine put the tv back on the roof rails so I can lie down on the bean bags in comfort and play till my wee hearts content instead of stooping over in a chair and feeling acid running up and down my spine.

M8 of mine built it for me cos I cant weld...dual semi circle rails with a little motor at the side so I can lock the screen into almost any position I want. And thats how I play games in comfort. Its so cool, I could almost patent it and make me fortune if it wasnt just a copy of a similar device I saw in the US few years back.

My version cost about 30 quid...the real version cost 700 dollars and lacked the electric motor mine has which I butchered from an old lawnmower ^
