Do you have those conditions or are they conditions that you have on your list?

I don't know that there is a formal list of conditions. Your regular doctor might know if marijuana will help you. There are also doctors who specialize in marijuana medicine who would know more about it than your normal doc.

No these are all legit. I don't want to falsify documents in order to obtain the legal weed.
My question is, do these qualify?

I have a bad habit of long edits. Check with your doc. On your list, the back pain is the only thing that I've heard of pot helping, but I'm not a specialist.

One hint about pain, if you smoke and the pain goes away significantly before you get high, then marijuana is a legitimate medicine for your kind of pain.

I'd like to see a source for this... I've always understood that smoke can make asthma act up... My friend has really bad asthma and he almost ALWAYS has to use his inhaler after he smokes.

http://www.ash.org.uk/html/passive/html/asthma.html#_Toc529868923

One study has shown how exposure to cigarette smoke for just one hour caused a 20 per cent deterioration in the short-term lung function of adults with asthma.


It specifies cigarette smoke, so I'm not sure if it applies to any kind of smoke, but I assume it does. It probably specifies cigarette smoke because that's the most widely inhaled smoke.

looks like u r more informed, my badIt's cool, but when you hear something like that, it's always a good idea to check around and see if it's actually true. Knowledge of your drug is really important, especially to the legalization movement. Knowledge is a huge factor in responsbility (even though you don't have asthma, but in other cases) When you hear something, use google.com search for a few diff. keywords, use erowid.org I hate seeing all this misinformation spread just because people believe word of mouth as the truth instead taking it with a grain of salt.
