Macer is 82-years-old and at one point was taking as many as 17 prescription drugs for pain, but now she just takes her heart medicine and a medical marijuana cocktail twice daily.

Mabel didn't like the idea of medical marijuana, but after seeing media reports she thought it might keep her out of the nursing home.

"If I can find something that can make me quit hurting and that's just what I'm doing," said Macer.

..............

Before she could barely walk to her door, now she walks around the block but Macer's primary care physician expressed concern that medical marijuana would complicate her conditions.

In a letter to Macer, he said if she continued marijuana use, he would have no choice but to dismiss her from his practice.

The title is misleading. She drinks the marijauana. (??)

1. I'm less than half her age and noticed the same effect.

It's an effective daily tonic.

3. Helped my late wife BIG TIME with her chemo & radiation

She never smoked the stuff. Did not like it. But when she was diagnosed with cancer and began the standard treatments, she was just miserable in so many ways. One of her girlfriends brought her some pot, and WOW - ended the nausea, increased her appetite, eased her pain, and elevated her mood. She was so appreciative -- and so was I, to see her comforted like that in the midst of her suffering. Thank you friend. Thank you natural, organically grown pot plant.

4. Just a little a day keeps me going strong

You don't even need enough to get a buzz. Its all about the anti-inflammatory properties if you have certain pain issues.

6. it's a fabulous tonic in many respects....

We use it daily in our house. Both my SO and I have stopped using a number of prescription drugs, including SSRIs and pain meds. Now if pot would just lower my LDL and raise my HDL levels, it would be a true miracle!

7. I'd rec this twice, if I could

The clinic I use refuses to prescribe the fell weed. I hope it costs 'em with the 65 and over crowd.
