      Good luck with your disability application.  If you don't mind posting, it would be interesting to know the process you have to go through, and whether it's approved, based on your initial application.  I've heard that if they deny you benefits (Social Security), you should appeal.

      Sorry for the multiple posts, but you may be intereested in the form of medical marijuana that I tried: it was a liquid/gel that I could squirt on food or into a drink.  I read that orally ingested marijuana take two to three hours to feel the effect (that's exactly what happened with me), and its effects last longer, than when smoked.  If you ingest it orally, it's processed by the liver; if you smoke it, it crosses the blood/brain barrier, and you feel the effects almost immediately, but the effects wear off much more quickly, too.  Also, when you ingest it orally, the THC is stored in your fat cells, and it takes your body about 30 days to eliminate the THC.
