[QUOTE="Janea, post: 456558, member: 91439"] I have to say that I find it very beneficial. I am only an occasional user (and more often than not when I am in Holland) but when I do I find it gets rid of all the pain I feel for other non-diabetic related ailments and helps me to sleep. I suffer from very bad insomnia - and this is just about the only thing which helps. I guess it depends on what you smoke and how much - but it doesn't really affect my mood apart from making me more relaxed. It's like drink in that you need to know when to stop - I don't like getting drunk so I stop before I do, I don't like being too stoned so I stop before it gets too much. You just have to be sensible. There will always be people who abuse it - just as there are those who abuse alcohol. Now that DOES cost the NHS dearly! And you are far less likely to get into fights on weed than booze. And all that gaff about getting the munchies - well I don't find that at all. When I am tired or in pain I find that I comfort eat chocolate or sweets. I don't do that after weed. I much prefer to alcohol and wish the government would make it legal - though I guess that's never going to happen. But I may check out the Sativex for my mother who has severe neuropathy and can't sleep for more than a couple of hours at a time. [/QUOTE]
