    So let's talk this through..

    Youre in pain? The pain diminishes your ability to sit, stand and drive for extended periods of time?

    Your saving grace is to smoke/ingest marijuana?.And you are choosing to enter a profession that specifically test for its use.

    I am not condoning or condemning your need..BUT you are setting yourself up for failure. You will eventually get caught..either with a random drug test or something stupid..I.e a 4 wheeler hits you, completely not your fault..but that 4 wheeler gets towed? You are required to take a drug test.

    Why in the heck are you risking your job/assets that WILL be taken from you?

    I am not saying that I disagree with the use of cannibus as a pain reliever, but DOT does.

    No mine comes from a medical grower. The strains are prechosen to be high in medical value.

    So, what's he to do if he's involved in a fatal accident, they ARE going to test you and you don't get to wait 30-90 days?

    Sorry, stay clean or get out of the industry.

    On a side note, I wish the law would sit by these truckstops when people advertise drugs over the radio, and go after them, and if it's in a CMV, I wish they'd seize the truck and the load on it.

    two Tylenol 325 mg, plus, six ibuprofen 200 mg, two naproxen 500 mg, make sure you eat, wait 3 hours and take two aleve. after six hours start over. You can say that's too much, but it works.
    you wont fail a drug test either. But if you have stomach troubles this is probably not good for you.

    Let me get this straight, you don't believe is prescription drugs/pills... But you will get high on pot, and enjoy the effects.. to help with pain. Seriously?

    Ok, so there are some legal alternatives (without the effects).

    1) Aspirin
    2) Ibuprofen
    3) Capsaicin cream
    4) Massage therapy
    5) Vitamin B12
    6) Chiropractor visits

    Would be obvious starts

    Until they ''outlaw'' the nations #1 KILLER DRUG called ALCOHOL,i will never percieve weed as a danger..The US Government has brainwashed millions into believing weed to be harmful.When in fact it is not even close..

    I love reading these threads about ''weed'' and reading all the brainwashed people that bought into this whole indroctination..

    Alcohol is a DRUG and is by far worse than any other drug in America..

    Today the World Health Organization (WHO) announced that alcohol is to blame for just about 4% of, or 2.5 million deaths worldwide annually. Alcohol attributable injuries are of a growing concern to the public health community, with alcohol-related injuries such as road traffic accidents, burns, poisonings, falls and drownings making up more than a third of the disease burden attributable to alcohol consumption. AIDS was a close second with 2.1 milion deaths in 2012.

    Yet alcohol control policies are weak and remain a low priority for most governments despite drinking's heavy toll on society from road accidents, violence, disease, child neglect and job absenteeism.

    Thirty percent of alcohol is illegally produced globally and is often extremely toxic to say the least.
