Medical Cannabis or anxiety and stress in connecticut?

Question:

I thought everyone was entitled to their opinions.  Why do you keep slamming me for mine?  How many times do you need to state your views?  I have never told anyone they are wrong – I am not so arrogant to think that my way is the only, one, true way.  I keep saying to each their own, and I’m trying to be supportive.  I do not slam, I do not flame.  I am trying to get some support and give some support in this forum.  You are not going to convince me of anything.  Back off already.  Lighten up.  Take some meds, go exercise, listen to music, do something else. This song has been played.  Try a new one. ~ Renee When the only tool you have is a hammer, you tend to treat everything like a nail.

Renee:  AKA PTSD Poster Girl – In CASE you didn’t read, Chris posted that he TOTALLY disagreed with you also. If you TRULY have PTSD, you would know that drug/alcohol abuse are symptoms of it.  Drugs including marijuana.  Since you are not opposed to one smoking marijuana to treat their PTSD symptoms, I suggest you go and smoke a big fat one yourself.  Afterall, you ARE the expert on PTSD and will tell anyone anything on here to get them to like you, so it seems to me.  Even if that includes telling another sufferer of PTSD to ‘go for it’ in your words. I am on my way to the gym, but when I get home, I am pulling out my old text book back from my college days (when I DID have concentration) and tell you exactly what it says about marijuana.  But then, YOU know it all, don’t you? Lu IMHO. Luanne

Response:

Weren’t you leaving? I swore you said you were leaving…. LuanneP blasted……

Response:

Lu, you asked me not to reply to your posts, and I haven’t.  You asked me not to enter your conversations, and did as you asked.  I am trying to be respectful, and I don’t understand why you can’t do the same.  Back off already.  Follow your own rules, please.  Don’t be hypocritical. I’m tell you for the last time, with everyone as witnesses, that I’m willing to co-exist with you…….. I believe there’s room for both of us.  Don’t respond to me unless you can do it with Respect, and I will do the same for you.  There is no need for rudeness or flaming in this forum.  No need. Back off. Leave me alone!

Response:

>I’d like to know why, after you go to all the work of getting clean and >sober, after all the self medication and all, PTSD doesn’t manifest >itself at the same point it did when you STARTED the self medication

Okay, after the sexual assault that I experienced, I knew ‘deep down’ that something was very, very wrong.  Along with the self-medication came numerous hospitalizations for suicide attempts.  Still have scars all over both arms – 1 took 47 stitches to close as I cut it right down to the bone.  I had to fight for an honorable discharge out of the military as after the assault, I was considered a ‘fuck-up’ because of all the problems I was having with substance abuse and suicide attempts.  When I got out of the service, I jumped from job to job, all the while drinking and using drugs like a wild person – hell, I was a wild person.  I will admit, when I was using though, I didn’t have to feel any pain.  I suffered anxiety attacks, but had NO idea what they were.  I thought many times that I was having a heart attack, but knew that if I had a couple of beers that they would temporarily ‘go away.’ Pretty soon, it got to the point where after I moved to CA, I started to have major problems, including blackouts, another rape, numerous sexual encounters because of the booze and drugs…you name it. I started to get scared.  I then made numerous attempts at sobriety.  Took my 7-8 tries at least…maybe more. Thing was, that is when the anxiety attacks, sleep disorder, depression, etc…, started really happening FULL BLAST.   I wound up in County Mental Health and was referred to a counselor.  I didn’t originally want to get on medication because of the stigma that my stupid 12-Step program had attached to it, but because of suicidal ideations, I knew that I had to do something, so started on  meds.  Been on numerous kinds through the years and now take 3-4 types daily.  Helps along with my therapy and the gym.  The gym is credited for saving me from the severe anxiety I suffer. Anyway, there is more to the story, but at least you get the general jist of my substance abuse/getting clean thing involving my PTSD. Best, Luanne

You responded to my last post, you idiot.  You’re another one without a life. Why don’t you go to the gym or go smoke a big fat one like I suggest.  Back off of me.

Response:

>Weren’t you leaving? >I swore you said you were leaving….

Why don’t you go and shag your old man? You’re so busy posting on here that I am sure he hasn’t had it in a long, long time.

Do not respond to my posts, PTSD Poster Girl, and I will leave you alone.

When we investigated Bill Trucks and his attempts to Steal the Valor of men who served in Vietnam and proved him to be a fraud we also investigated Luanne Pruesner, his cohort in anger and hate. Her diagnosis, according to the VA, is she is a SOCIOPATH. She is receiving 100% disability benefits not because of a PTSD diagnosis but because she is a diagnosed SOCIOPATH. Ask your shrink if you want the truth Luanne. You’d best be prepared for the truth if you ask. Sent via Deja.com http://www.deja.com/ Share what you know. Learn what you don’t.

Hi Denise!!!!  Back so soon?? Luanne

Response:

>How can you have honor when you talk about someone else’s diagnosis as >though you have access to their medical record?

Chris: This person does NOT have access to medical records.  It is a troll that comes on here from time to time to bother Bill Trucks and myself.  Person’s name is Denise Gray. Luanne

Response:

Thanks.  I’m glad you said it too. Best, Luanne

Response:

>Renee, you are wrong to encourage people to self medicate.  

Chris: As you probably know, drug abuse and alcoholism are actually ’symptoms’ of PTSD.  I self-medicated for 17 years and when I finally GOT clean and sober, that’s why my PTSD symptoms kicked in, full blast.  My drugs of choice was alcohol, along with crystal meth, even though the ‘come-down’ was awful. That’s about the only time I ever smoked pot, was to come down off crystal-meth, but then I got so paranoid, I would jump out of my skin.  I used to be a ’social butterfly’ of sorts because when I drank, I was a real ‘party girl.’  Many of my old drinking buddies even tell me that they never see me smile as much as I did back in my drinking days.  I seem to be a very angry woman these days, coping with PTSD by medication, exercise, and therapy.   The other day, I figured I would go running, since it wasn’t a ‘gym day’ and didn’t feel like doing the whole routine.  Figured I was in pretty good shape since I do the gym every other day, and could handle it.  Well, I ran for half an hour, and could barely walk yesterday.  Pulled all the muscles in my thighs.  Didn’t sleep the other night, so I was especially triggered yesterday.  That’s what I hate the most…the anger, and the lack of sleep.   Chris, aren’t you on the road right now?  Where are you at these days? Best, Luanne

I’m not sure where you got your medical degree from but that is ‘contraindicated’ dipshit! If you are going to act like an expert in the medical field, then you should at least do a little more research to get one of the more common words used right.  It looks more believable that way. >DO YOUR RESEARCH ON POT AND PTSD.

In the future, I will be sure to direct all of my questions on pot to you. It is always good to know an expert in such a well developed field of study. Thank you for your time and patience Dr. Cannabis and may your future posts keep me laughing as much as this one has. I used to think that i was really f***ed up….then i found this ng…..and discovered that on my really bad days, all i had to do was come here…..I end up either laughing hysterically at someone or being uplifted because i’m not-umm….shall we say as bad off as some of the others here.  Right Lu? Somebody call me when this group grows up.  If……..

Response:

Scott, I thought that it was appropriate to share actual facts on an NG of this nature.  I refrained from making any personal comments, I shared what I found and was done with it.  This is common practice on more functional NGs. I am confused about why YOU are making this a big deal. take care, Renee When the only tool you have is a hammer, you tend to treat everything like a nail. – Hide quoted text — Show quoted text -> Renee, >    I think that this topic has been about beaten into the ground. > Medicinal uses for THC/marijuana is nothing new….that wasn’t what > started the last debate.  I came away from that one with 2 thoughts: > 1) using other than prescribed drugs to self-medicate is foolish, 2) If > someone in New Zealand wants to smoke pot it really isn’t my business. > I hope we can put this one to rest.   Thanks,   Scott

No, I would absolutely not EVER say that, or anything like that. How DARE you! > I am confused as to your definition of "supportive behavior".

Then perhaps you should ask questions.. but I forgot, you know everything about me and have all the answers for everyone about treatment.  Good thing. I can see how much it’s helped you. Thank you for stating your opinions, however, I guess my sigfile should read "backhanded ‘compliments’ not necessary"….. not that doing so would mean anything to anyone who does not know what it is to be respectful.   I sincerely hope you at least feel better after posting something so completely asinine… I can think of no other reason for doing slamming someone like this.  …. if you find it therapeutic or helps you at all with your recovery…. if it’s a successful tool for anger management….. or if you have helped ANYONE by saying this, including yourself. To quote Daria:  it’s a sick, sad world. take care, Renee When the only tool you have is a hammer, you tend to treat everything like a nail.

Response:

From another NG: >> Is medical Cannabis  legal in the state of Connecticut for anxiety and >> stress? How about the THC pills I heard they have now called Marinol. > marinol is legal for use anywhere in the U.S. but it is intended for adjunctive > use in chemotherapy for cancer patients it seems to foster the munchies and > reduce nausea-however, a doc can prescribe it for anything he deems

suitable. I thought this was interesting news. take care, Renee It’s not how many times you fall down, it’s how many times you get up that matters
