Standard Answers For Standard Questionnaires



     Standard medical forms should have standard answers.  Standard questions requiring answers from today's doctors are often invasive.  Information they contain may be irrelevant to circumstances. 
     Licensing is another puzzling preposition.

.This should be the standard answer for the standard marijuana medical license application.

     The standard medical form for filing pain intensity is both misguiding and judgmental.   It is an inaccuracy in respect that one’s ten may be another’s one.  Can that eliminate them, either one?
     Answering that question is subjective only in the eye of the beholder.  I in fact suffer a somewhat uncomfortable and debilitating degenerative bone disease.  Modern medicines are said to be addictive.  I find them to feel poison; having experienced sickness after consumption of such recommended to me by doctors.
     Homeopathic medicines are preferred by many who share my illness, with somewhat better success than the more damaging medications prescribed by doctors of larger institutions.  It is ultimately the patient choice of prescription or medication taken for illness. 
     Other factors associated with illness are muscle weakness and spasms.  How does medication affect them?  Labels on bottles associated with pharmaceuticals explain risk factors.  Many of those risks may become more serious than the initial disease, or cause or intensify the same side effects as the disease. So far, Marijuana has been shown to have fewer side effects than many modern medicines, and may cause fewer deaths, when used conservatively.    
     Marijuana use is still against both Federal and State laws.  Its use is State licensed in some states in part, only because a majority of people voted for its recognized use as medicinal.  Admitting to using Marijuana is currently tantamount to boasting of a felonious activity.  My occupation does not allow Felons.
     People who use marijuana claim that proper use calms both nerves and relaxes muscles.  Some may tell you that while it is not a perfect pain killer, it may otherwise occupy nerve cells to work better and divert or disburse (balance pain).  Pain impedes both mental and physical health.  People who suffer with debilitating illnesses such as mine, claim and exhibit better or improved health patterns while using marijuana.  I happen to believe them.
