[This is from the Spinal Injury Conference]

   I have tried smoking grass in the past (illegally) and did not find
it very beneficial. I have aN incomplete injury and lots of sensation.
Pot seemed to magnify the problems I was having. That is, it made me
keenly aware of my spasticity. I found that drinking large quantities of
alcohol worked great for spasticity and many times used the two
together. Needless to say I developed more complicated problems than
spasticity. I have not drank or smoked in almost two years now. I am a
little reluctant to try yhe marijuana unless I am sure it will work. I
have heard and read of the positive effects of pot on spasticity (
about a year ago in the Spinal Network). I am interested in any
information you may have as to its actual clinical use now by
doctors.
