Who here does, or has done "street" drugs for medicinal/not purely recreational reasons?

I've used OCs when I broke my ankle, and smoke weed as a sleep aid and to eat.

How about you?

I ruptured my left testicle like 2-3 years ago, still hurts like a bitch. All the doctors gave me were T3's, so I stared taking taking OC's, lortabs, and occasionally H to ease the pain. It eventually led to a very bad habit, so I stopped once the pain was bearable enough to handle with ibuprofen. If the poor guy is having a bad day, 30mg of oxycodone always does the trick.

Fuck you, you fucking faggot.You think it's funny to steal from hard working growers? Do you have any idea WHO you are even stealing from? You are stealing from disabled people who have been growing, and selling marijuana to other disabled people, and they use the money either for their own medical expenses, or others, through donations, or just to keep clubs up and running, allowing other disabled people access to the medicine they need, you ignorant fucking whore.


It's ok though, that's why they have armed guards, to taze all the dumb little motherfuckers like you. Why don't you go get a fucking job, and buy your own weed you lazy little shit?


Oh, and nothing kick starts a day like a fat rip off an oil pipe.

I've taken a low doses of shrooms to help my headaches.

I don't use them a lot but I always keep some on hand just in case my headaches reach an unbearable level. They really work good too. I would take them all the time (I get really bad headaches a lot) but tripping kinda gets old if you keep doing it.

Sometimes if I'm having trouble staying awake in class or I need that extra kick for studying or a test my girlfriend gives me some of her ritalin. And I smoked pot after I got in a real bad car accident a while back and it did wonders for my neck pain.

Ohh yeah I'm also prescribed temazepam for insomnia, but I don't take it much cause I feel hungover when I wake up. But if I desperately need to go to sleep and cant then I take it.

Its not a street drug, but its trippy as well.

Smoke clove cigs or put clove in my home rolled cigarettes for pain relief. They give you an effect similar to weed, but it kicks in in the instant and lasts for 10 minutes only. Anyway, it smells very good. It can totally mask the smell of tobacco, so I guess it can mask the smell of hash in case your parents are home or you have to drive and avoid police.

Also, I have used nutmeg and regularly use booze for boredom relief.

I'm perfectly fine to drive a car long distances, but when I'm a passenger, I get car sick. One day I discovered that weed prevents me from getting motion sickness, so now I smoke a bit whenever I have to be a passenger. I don't know if it would work on a boat too, but I can't see why not.

Punched about what you seppos would call 'a quarter's worth of cones between me and a mate during a session in front of the xbox. I had a chest infection at the time, and had earlier dosed myself right up on CWE'd Codeine for shits & giggles...

To clarify this post:

i dont understand.

It's not related to the thread but the post above mine, cos it went the complete other way - Pnuemonia (we were using a bong). But on the plus side I did get insanely greened..

..not sure if that's to do with the codeine, the thick phlegm all over my lungs, or both.

Although I use weed recreationally, it also does the trick as a sleep aid with few side effects (I have terrifyingly awful insomnia). I use it as an analgesic sometimes, as I have back problems and migraine headaches. Weed almost always kills internal physical pain in my body. I use alcohol as an anxiety reliever, although itÂ’s probably not the best idea. Blue lotus makes for a good sleep aid as well.

You get it from dispensaries in states that have legalized medical marijuana, thought this does not mean that these patients are free from prosecution. The Federal Government still has a ban on marijuana and places it at schedule 1, which is illegal and dangerous substances with no medicinal value.

My medicinal and recreational drugs have always been entirely separate. I don't live in a country where over-prescription is rife, and I don't have any acute pain or anything, so the only drugs I ever get on prescription are for hayfever, or antibiotics. I've never really used booze or any other rec drugs to numb pain or anything, mostly cos when when I feel like that I don't want to get wrecked, I just munch some analgesics and go to sleep, wait for it to pass. It must be strange using the same drugs both for a genuine medical issue, but also just for the lulz... if I went to my GP with some BS story about how I have ADD and need ritalin, he'd laugh his fat indian arse off at me. It's better that way. I hope I'm that way when I'm a Doctor. /me

All the meds I've been on for actual problems I couldn't remember and so I'll list just the ones people would abuse:
Clonazepam - Anxiety/Panic Attacks. (There was a long period of hard abuse however)
Adderall/Ritalin - ADHD (Short period of abuse, now I never take more then I'm scripted for)
Hydrocodone - I was sick had something wrong with my throat, the clinic doc said to take tiny sips... yum.

Currently:
My family doctor had been worried and my family scared shitless because I was losing weight at a constant rate and puking up everything I ate, getting nauseous randomly and throwing up whatever liquids I had in me, and feeling like shit in general. My doctor currently hopes it might be acid reflex, I'm not so sure. Got tons of tests over the years and nothing came up, from seeing an inner ear specialist to a doc for epilepsy to getting tested for aids. Nothing shows up anywhere.
Smoking weed doesn't take the nausea completely away but it lets me move around and eat (hold it down too) I gained weight like a motherfucker but after a week without it I lost around 6 or so pounds again and am puking again.
This has been an ongoing problem that seems to come in 2-3month "waves" since I was about 12.

I've told my doctor that I'm smoking to help with it and she supports my decision to do so because of the obvious benefit I get from doing so.
