[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, what is the specific problem with his smoking?

Does he smoke all day?
Is it interfering with his work, with the care he can offer DC, or with the time he has with you?
Does it make him grumpy or unmotivated?
Are you concerned that it's illegal?
Does he smoke in front of DC?

I have a legal prescription for pot and smoke every single day - about 10 minutes before I go to bed. It solves all of my sleep problems without any of the side effects of sleeping pills and I wake up sober and ready for each day, so saying that someone smokes "every day" can mean a variety of things. The key is to identify the problem with his usage and address that specifically. Yes, he broke his promise to you, but if the alternative treatment for his "medical condition" is that he gets whacked out on xanax or vicodin...personally I'd prefer my partner smoke pot! Think about what the fundamental issues are and address them directly with DH; in situations like this, calm, rational specificity is your best bet.[/quote]

Ok how the hell did you get that script?

So, I have terrible insomnia. I try very hard to avoid Ambian, that shit is crazy-literally. However when I'm on day #5 of insomnia, I literally start to break down. Ambian is so addictive and it literally knocks me out, but it is not refreshing.

I had a moment of regression one night and smoked some pot with some friends. I had the most amazing and refreshing sleep that night. I woke up feeling like a new person, the difference in me in the morning was profound. I can't even begin to describe how wonderful the morning was. I seriously felt like I was in a new body and mind.

I might have to just get some from my friend, but I would love to get access to it legally. It is a freaking miracle for my sleep situation.[/quote]

PP here, and I know exactly the feeling you're describing. Getting this prescription has substantially changed my life; I'm calmer, more energized, I get sick far less often, and that full-body ache of insomnia is a distant memory. Before this I tried ambien, lunesta, benzos (I had 2mg of xanax per day prescribed for a while there), and every OTC product you can imagine (from melatonin to Nyquil) but I would sleepwalk, always felt groggy, and never actually felt like I'd slept; instead of waking up in the mornings, it felt more like I was coming out from anesthesia (and by the time my brain had cleared away the fog, it was bedtime again).

I wish I could help you out with a recommendation but I'm actually not in the DC area any more and don't know of any doctors to send you to there. I do believe the tide is turning and that within the next year or two you'll be able to access it more easily, but I'd strongly recommend buying it any way you can until then. [/quote]
