If you don't mind me asking...why were you smoking medical marijuana?</end quote></div>
Why am I doing it or why am I smoking? Marijuana usually puts me to sleep, and it helps with appetite and nausea issues. It's easier than taking 7 pills a day for all that.
If it's smoking you're questioning, I use a vaporizer. Vaporizing puts out nearly pure thc without all the lung ruining chemicals from combustion (burning). It's virtually safe. In addition, cannabis also triggers your lung's defense mechanisms without any actual harm, cleaning out your lungs just like chest therapy or running for a bit.
Contrary to what most doctors would tell you, I've been healthier and stayed out of the hospital far longer since taking it up.
As for the Ambien issue: Thanks for the replies everyone. I took it inconsistently for 2 weeks, and eventually got over the sleep problems. I imagine I'll need it again soon, but hopefully not too soon.
