Members overwhelmingly endorsed medical marijuana for fibromyalgia management, with many sharing that it provides meaningful relief from pain, anxiety, and sleep difficulties, often with fewer side effects than pharmaceutical options. Several members described practical approaches including baking edibles rather than smoking, obtaining prescriptions from primary care doctors when pain management specialists were reluctant, and using it daily as part of their treatment routine while maintaining active lives. A recurring theme was frustration with the legal barriers and medical establishment resistance, paired with gratitude for the improved quality of life and ability to function as parents and caregivers when using medical marijuana responsibly.

I am firm believer in medical marijuana. Lynn Woodcock I couldn't have said it any better. Puff Puff pass.

I use medical marijuana every single day & have for years. It relaxes me, eases my pain, reminds me that I am human & lifts my spirits. No pharmaceutical can do that & believe me, I have tried many of them and they sucked! Anyway, relax, grow your own, or go to the nearest dispensary & check it out.

I live in Illinois where it is illegal also, but when there's a will, there's a way, you know! Helps immensely with pain and anxiety. You know you mentioned that it is natural and not man made. Even alcohol, which is also man made is very destructive and it's legal. Have you ever heard of a head on collision because a person was under the influence of canabis...no, on the contrary, canabis users are much more cautious and drive even slower. Well I'm rambling now. Have a great day!
