Someone mentioned to me recently that sleep apnea is on the list of things medical marijuana can be prescribed for - assumed they were mistaken, as I don't understand how it could possibly help. Wondering exactly HOW this "med" is supposed to help with sleep apnea. Anybody know?

Seems about right.

My sleep doctor won't prescribe Provigil (a Schedule IV drug) to treat my debilitating level of daytime sleepiness and fatigue, but I’m sure I could probably get marijuana (a Schedule I drug).

My level of cynicism and contempt for human behavior has reached an unhealthy level.

I hear that loud & clear. Reading the info on the study, I had to laugh at "treating weight loss and lack of appetite" in people with AIDS! OK, treat lack of appetite by giving them the munchies! And I won't take any comments about insensitivity from anybody on that - AIDS took my brother... and yes, pot helped his appetite, long before today's "kush" doctors appeared all over California, especially at street fairs & tourist areas... he would have given it a giggle, too.

But I really don't buy this. Somebody would have LONG ago noticed something like "Pot smokers don't snore". Just some guys got 5 MILLION DOLLARS to buy pot, get people loaded, and see if they ap out or not. Good work if you can get it!

Where do I sign up?

Yes, I want to sign up too!!!! Weed is not legal in FL, even medically. "Good old boy" mentality at work here in FL. Maybe everybody will start moving to relieve their pain and their sleep apnea, to a state where pot is legal (CA,CO....what others?

DRUG or PRESSUREIZED AIR, I'll take the AIR Please, I'm on too many drugs now! The only side effect of Air, is it's habit forming. With my weight, I couldn't take the munchies. Jim
