Hi i'm pinky,

Just to give you an idea about myself. I’m 33 years of age, in 1999 I collapsed with chronic lower back pain which put me in a wheel chair for a good while until my pain relief had got sorted out. The NHS took 2.5 years to diagnose my problem which was ruptured/degenerative discs in my lower back just above the end of the tail bone. This caused pressure on my sciatic nerves which affected the use of my legs and I’ve never been able to stand up straight since.

The pain etc I suffer in just so bad you can only say its like having a large knife in your arse and that every time you move your spine it digs in further. I just got to grips with my disability then in 2003 I was hit buy a car from behind by an old man wearing thick black glasses. He gave up driving over the RTA which was his fault and I ended up with a damaged spinal chord (syrinx), facet joint syndrome which has taken the use of my arms away from me due to pain.

Only cannabis gives me more use of my arms.

The morphine they give me only takes the edge off the pain. The anti epileptic drugs they give me for pain, make me feel sick all the while and make me feel like I’m loosing the plot (I know pot can do this too, but pot is controllable!) I’ve been suicidal a few times as without cannabis the pain is that bad that I’m bed ridden and unable to even breathe without crying in agony.
