    Medical Marijuana

    Has anyone tried medical marijuana? I have been doing some research and I am intrigued. I have just recently weaned off of Effexor and Topomax. I take Tramadol as needed but I don't find it very effective for my pain. I am curious to know how to use marijana without having to feel stoned .
