That was me on Springer just a minute ago
Edited on Tue Jun-07-05 10:46 AM by SiouxJ
about the medical marijuana. I called in because that other caller said that just because pot is illegal, it doesn't really keep people who want to use it from using it. I called to disagree because I have MS and at one point really needed some and didn't know where to get any. I haven't used it since college and I couldn't get my hands on any.

I was gonna give a shout out to DU but he cut me off :-(. Anyway, just wanted to let you know it was one of us! Was anybody here listening?

2. Yeah I was listening down here in Georgia.. home of Mike Malloy!
Good job. I'm not the biggest Springer fan but if he helps get Air America airborne I give him a listen in the mornings.

I was listening inthe car awhile ago, but came in to get kids ready for grandparents. My radio source is over 100 miles away so it doesn't come in clearly; I usually listen online.

Sorry about your MS. I wish the govt would just legalize it and make it sales-taxable unless a prescription is presented.

Thanks for calling in, though. <hugs>

7. Well I'm fine, but thanks!
My meds control it nicely. They cost $900 per month though (luckily I have insurance).

10. Boy, I'm familiar with that.
My son is autistic and he takes meds to control aggression, ADHD, mood, stimming, and sleep. Almsot as mucha s yours. I don't know what we'd do without his insurance to cover the meds. It still runs us several hundred a month.

4. Hey! Where ya been?
Is the MS diagnosis a new thing? I was wondering why I hadn't seen you posting.

6. Hey! No, I've had it for 5 years and I'm fine
in fact, better now than I was when first diagnosed. You wouldn't even know I have it. I mainly post in the groups these days. I've never left though. Still hanging around :-)

:hi:
