I know there was a topic already on shooting pain/pins and needles. I used to take neurontin but I didn't like it. I lost a lot of weight on it and didn't like the side effects. I heard that medical marijuana helps with this pain. I was wondering if anyone with a spinal cord injury has been prescribed marijuana for medicinal purposes? And if so, what was the process like to be able to get a doctors approval for it's use?
