>I didn't know it was controlled. I think people feel kinda' drunk on it. I was sooo dopey, and people (afterwards) said my speech was slurred :( My doc did tell me to be careful on it (?). She offered it. Then, she gave me a scrip for MM. No I said. She said take it in case you change your mind (?). I dislike marijuana.

Surprised to find that lurking because in a huff of feeling insulted, I brought my pharma bag down to the doc and dumped it. I get upset when my integrity is questioned :-/
However, today is very bad pain-wise and the cranky factor is 8 on a scale of ten. Can't continue taking bites out of Ultram or I'm shooting my own foot.
