Hello,
Im am a new member but I've been reading for a while so here it goes!


I have fibromyalgia and my wife was in a car accident in July an has some serious problems with her back! We curently live in AZ and my doctor said i shoud really think about med.marijuana, this of course would have my family moving to California. I must say that med.M does help my pain, helps me sleep and still leaves me able to function. My wife is looking to go back to school, so I am looking for suggestions on a good place to live where there is a college near & has decent laws that would permit me to grow the medication for my wife & I.? I am a disabled-vet so I would have plenty of free time.
Just looking for some thoughts.
Thanks & GOD BLESS!

Humboldt County.....HSU

but like no jobs

Is that in Arcata? Whats the cost of living in that area? It's very beutiful up that way.

yep Arcata
taxes put all of Cali high on cost of living and the home prices havent fallen here like the rest of the state

Any one else?

nm has mm. don't know what all the policies and stuff are tho. but a hell of a lot cheaper to live than Ca.good luck!

Sacramento. Lived here all my life (55 yrs). 1.5 hrs from San Francisco. 1.5 hrs from Tahoe. Summer time it gets to 104 F for about 9 or 10 days of the summer. But it stays about 95 of less for the rest of the hot part. In the winter it goes down to 40s during the day, 28 or so at night for about 10 or so days. Frost at night maybe starts about 2nd week of Nov and ends 2nd week of Feb.
It has been a great place to live.

Thanks for the NM heads up, but we were looking at Cal because they have a ton of schools. I'll google Sac town colleges and my girl has been checking out the HSU site. Thanks all!

i hope things work out of you. I know lots of people that are in the same situation. My coworker moved to sacramento from new jersey five years ago for his crohn's disease. I always tell him its the best thing he ever did

Thanks . My step father has crohn's disease and was put on the steroids at the Mayo clinic in AZ, he lost 45 lbs an almost died. (160lbs to 115lbs) in 13 weeks. He went to the Mayo in Minnesota and they said the steroids were a 1 month thing an he had been taking them for six months making him worse than the crohn's. He is doing better now an takes a THC pill for his pain/appetite.

I agree with what you told your buddy, Crohn's can be awful an Medical marijuana can be a savior if not at least a big helping hand.

We almost lost a family member from treatment not illness.
