All....As a late 60's, early 70's "head", I smoked enormous quantities of weed. I always felt that it was a very peaceful high but quit due to legal problems in the early 70's.

My wife is fighting metastatic problems associated with lung cancer (brain and adrenal gland.) Nausea and vomiting due to intolerance of pain medications are causing extreme weight loss and lack of appetite.

Expensive anti-nausea drugs such as Zofran have had limited success in eliminating the nausea.

I am looking for advice as to how to obtain marijuana for medical use. I live in the state of Kentucky which does not have legislation approving medical use. I have looked at web sites that sell seeds, but am unsure of reliability and am concerned as to time required to harvest.

Recommendations?

No pain no gain. Start growing now! The longer you wait the longer it will take.

Ps Sorry to hear about your wife. Hope she gets better. Good luck!

I do not know much about US legalities but, you can probbly do fairly well with a closet grow, from clone to bud your looking at about 3 months, we have some reliable seed companies that this site works with pm if your interested and I will help you out. If you can find clones from anyone that is the easiest starting from seed is more of a pain, but once you get your females and toss your males your on your way. Depending on how much you would need to smoke per day, just figure out how much you need to grow.

Sorr if this doesnt make sense I just woke up

I work with patients and provide them with my produce, but it is all very limited to my state. Crossing state lines is when the feds get involved, and they make up their own rules, and don't allow any mention of medical use in your defense.

I'm legal here, but not outside the state. I'm sorry about your health problems, and glad that cannabis is helping with the symptoms. My advice is to buy it until you can supply it.

In my state, I contacted ......

Allot of paper work...but you gotta do what you gotta do.

tymetravler, I'm a medical MJ patient in California. It looks like what you'll have to do is grow your own bud. And this all starts with finding the right spot in your house. Believe me, no one in the entire world would know you're growing marijuana if you keep it simple. Two or three plants in your closet is all you need. And the plants are only going to be about 3.5 feet tall. Very little smell -- and the smell you do get is nothing that your neighbors would worry about. But since you don't have any medical MJ legislation in Kentucky, you'll have to find a friend with some seeds --- or you'll have to buy seeds from a seed bank and germinate them. Clones seem like a long-shot for you right now. Unless, of course, you have a clone source. As for the seed banks, I've used WorldWideSeeds.com and SeedsDirect.com.

Hope that helps...and feel free to ask as many questions that you have. I'll help you answer every one of them.

And, when you finally have your bud, your wife probably won't be able to smoke it because of her lung cancer. Sooo ... you'll have to learn how to make canna-cookies. Here's a link: keepin' it simple cookies - Cannabis-World

Dear Tymetravler,

My wife suffers from excruciating migraines, so I know how it feels watching a loved one in agony and feeling helpless. I felt that way, since all her expensive painkillers didn't work after a while. My daughter used to come down to my home office to say--"Papa, come quick, Mama is having another one of her headaches and she needs you to load up an injection, whatever that means."

I'm a cancer-patient myself, so I know the ravages of chemo and radiation first hand. Luckily, we both found a physician who was sympathetic and prescribed cannabis for us. We live in one of the eleven states that allow marijuana use and propagation. Cannabis helps us manage our pain and it also elevates our mood.

I would second a previous suggestion--grow your own. You can either grow it in a sunny window (provided it's off the ground floor) or in a closet, as someone pointed out. The only drawback with growing under lights is that if you use an HID strength lamp, the power company will notice a spike in your consumption. Have some power tools lying around with a half-finished woodworking project. That sometimes works to fool them.

For further advice, I would recommend you get in touch with Advanced Nutrients Medical by visiting their website and learning all about how to get started. They have wonderful products that help you grow the purest, most powerful medicine possible.

They have a tech help line where a live person, who actually knows what they're talking about, will brief you on details. Have your questions ready, the call is free.

New to the board and want to say hi.

My brother went through chemo and the one thing that helped him was a spliff a day.start growing as soon as possible.read lots of info from this site..and until then find a dealer.any help i may offer let me know..i feel for you and your wife and i know first hand how much this will help her dont worry about the law..some police have been know to turn a blind eye when it come to things like this.just be careful and keep in mind why your doing it..all the best and good luck
