1) It's illegal, and until it becomes legal, I don't recommend anyone trying it.

2) It's covering the real feeling. If you are out of control enough that you need to use marijuana to cover the headaches, then you need to look at your control method better.

3) Simply trying marijuana can get you fired or hinder you getting a job. If you want to risk getting a job, then sure, go for it.

I'd love to hear more about how diabetes has destroyed your college life. I excelled in college and graduated with a very high GPA with 1 major and 3 minors in 3.5 years time while maintaining a 20+ hours per week job. So I'm not sure how diabetes could destroy college. Unless you are talking about you didn't get to have fun partying? I'm not trying to start arguments here, just trying to understand how it hurt college and why you say you have had many jobs because of it, yet you say you are in great control. Can you slightly go off topic and explain that more?

I won't get into the moral/legal implications of marijuana since we have many threads on that here and I have expressed case after case the problems marijuana can cause. Yes, from a medical standpoint it's great, so is Oxycotton, however, Marijuana was made illegal before it got out of hand, Oxycotton is nearing becoming illegal to manufacture because it's getting out of hand.

Diabetes is an Art, NOT a Science. You must master the control by skills and not by knowledge alone.
