Hi Ron,
I had a prescription for synthetic marijuana back in the 80's. I
had problems just like you do. It took 6 to 8 months to have the
prescription filled. The drug had to be sent from the other side
of Canada. Either they had to grow the stuff from scratch, or the
drugs were shipped on the back of a turtle.
When I finally received the prescription, I had to pay $90 for 20
capsules. A little outrageous, eh?
I was trying it to combat nausea and muscle spasms. I took one
capsule and it knocked me off my feet. I couldn't get up. I spent
1 1/2 hours trying to keep from peeing the bed. It wasn't a
pleasant feeling. I guess you could consider that it was working
as a muscle relaxant, but I don't think I even want to go through
that again.
As for the nausea, it didn't work at all. It also didn't make me
'high' either.
