How do they check it. Urine? Is it mandatory or do your parents specifically ask for it?

dont listen to the negative people on marijuana. my humaglobing h1c levels have become better since i started marijuana. i didnt realize it until i watched a show on net geo. a doctor from israel was interviewed and he had proven that it does infact help regulate sugar levels. I believe my health is more important then the law. dont let people lie to u about medicinal marijuana. its actually beneficial.

I don't know man. Something about it does not cause cancer doesn't seem right. I smoke weed regularly and I realize I take a risk by filling my lungs with smoke. Maybe I'm wrong but I'm pretty sure that CAN cause cancer or at last be a health risk of some sort. Other than that, I also believe the real criminals are the people that make the laws against it and the people that take action against it. Anyway, I'm going to pack a bowl and start studying for a big exam in a few hours. peace.

I dont think you need to be worried about your doctor finding out that you smoked unless you tell him yourself, besides they test your blood in a machine that only shows the ac1 and nothing else besides it, the only way your doc will say anything is if he does an actual drug test but for that he either needs yours or your parents permission, I told my doctor myself that I smoke marijuanna and he said "Its fine, a friend of mine with same problem as you (I have type 1 diabetes) comes home and has a joint at the end of the day after work to relax, there is nothing bad about it just make sure your blood sugars are ok and you have something to eat" When I heard this I was shocked and releived, just dont let it get to a point where you smoke every day, once a week is cool once a month even better because the less often you do it the stronger and better the releif/effect gets. Smoke if you want just be honest about it with your doctor, there's alway doctor-patient confedentiality especially if you're over 18 your doctor is not allowed to discuss any issues about your health with anyone else without your permission. Be kool relax stay positive and remember whatever doesnt kill you makes you stronger so I imagine all of us are stronger than any average person and dont let this problem that all of us have in common tell you otherwise. Together we stand with each others support.

weed doesnt cause cancer, its been around since the beginning and never once has been proven to cause cancer so scratch that bs out of the question. people who think its a morale test of god? why would he make it for so many uses like rope and oil, but not only that, a MEDICINE. if it was killing people then id say it might be a test of god but it hasnt killed one person. can we legalize this already and move on with our lives? we pay towel heads for oil and loose money when we could use hemp oil to run our cars. GO GREEN!!!

I have type 1 aswell. i smoke weed everyday. for the past 5 years. I find it helps aswell. i have been looking online to see if anyone could relate. Now i live in canada, i dont know if it makes that big of a difference when looking at the moral choice of pot. But where i live, most people dont care about smoking pot. I would say 80% of people i know smoke. I dont test, havent for the past 5 years. hate it, but as my pharmacist says "im very intune with my body", really its just moderation with treats, and feeling out my body when my levels are high or low. Never had any complications. Not saying this is do to the pot. But what im saying is that weed does have medical properties to it and it hasnt been researched enough to know the full effects of what it can help with. As someone who hasn't had any complications and lives a pretty normal life, i would say that there might be a positive effect from weed. Why not, anyone who smokes it on a regular bases knows how great it actually is, and doesnt believe have of the BS that they are fed about weed

The questions that are being asked are legitimate questions. Questions by people that clearly do not smoke and their questions are not being answered. It is evident that they are concerned about their loved one. This more of everyone expressing how they feel about the issue has a whole. So as a non smoker asking those of you that do smoke; what would tell a person that has aging type 1 BUT also has high blood pressure, high chesterol, rheumatoid arthritis, and bad vision all due to having diabetes? Along with just getting out of the hospital because the nerves in her organs are destroyed, preventing her from being able to hold down any food, again due to having diabetes. AND she has not been able to maintain her sugar level the whole 20 years she has been diagnosed. Mind you, she is 20! Now this is a serious question I am asking because she is my sister. So what would you tell your sister with all these health issues? And I don't want to hear any non sense thank you.

u all sadden me greatly marijuana is, always has been, always will be, a valid form of relief and/or treatment for any and all conditions that cause a difficulty with losing weight and apitight. Marijuana has been shown time and time again to reduce blood glucose levels this is what causes the "munchies" u id**t. My life partner/girlfriend is a type 1 diabetic and has these same problems she is constantly losing weight due to a loss of appitight due to poorly managed diabetes's. if it were not for marijuana she would be and scrawny corpse so to add a little emotion "f**k you nonah f**k you"

I have had Type 1 Diabetes since I was 10 years old. I never drank or did drugs until I was 16. I dont drink often but I smoke everyday and I feel like smoking pot does actually help me. My arms get tingly sometimes and my eyes hurt sometimes and I get really stressed about everything. I smoke pot and all of that goes away. I have a good laugh, a good meal, and go play some video games (COD: Black Ops) and i just chill out. It helped me with my grades and my diabetes and took my stress away. I feel like I should get a medicinal marijuana card to be able to legally smoke it, but I doubt that will happen. Weed is a plant, not a man made mind altering substance. The definition of "drug" has right in it "A man made mind altering substance." Weed is not a drug, it just helps people all over the world. people who are anti cannabis need to f**k off and live alittle. don't be so negative. Thats all I have to say. Marijuana is the sh*t.

I've had type 1 diabetes since I was 2 years old and started smoking bud when I was 15 and am now 18 had have noticed that cannabis defintlet does have some medicinal qualities such as people have already stated ,but what I find is that it helps when your blood sugar is extremely high because I tend to feel sick and naueasted while having a high blood sugar and find that often I cannot eat if my blood sugar is too high and will go whole days without eating if it dosent lower. I find through my. Use of cannabis that my blood sugar is usually better after I smoke some bud and that I can with sone difficulty force myself to eat when high and having a high blood sugar. So Id have to agree with the people that say itncan be of benefit to a diabetic but also like anything else overuse could have negative effects but that's the same with everything over excercsing could be bad for you over eating you just have to reasonably balance your use of cannabis. And it's not gonna make everything better you still gotta check your sugar level and inject insulin but it may help you relax and be able to focus more on taking care of yourself and that cannabis desert a,ways help people it depends on the person and you gotta be able to decide for yourself if you should discontinue it's use if your sugars are high everyday maybe you should lay off on weed for a while until you can take care of yourself and you should definitely let your doctor know because nit may help them better diagnose what's wrong and tell you how to better manage with your diabetes

First, Anyone writing an opinion on this topic who is not type 1 or diagnosed with any other autoimmune disease, please shut the f**k up!  I use it on occasion because alcohol is far worse for me, for everyone!  If your glucose level is under control it is perfectly fine.  I would rather go to bed at night "stoned" than with a six pack in me.
Second, For those of you who have kids that have smoked every day since age 13, yes, your child is f'd up he /she just happens to have type 1 diabetes as well.
Third, When you have any disease it is usually the first and last thing you think about when you awake and rise.  There is nothing wrong with smoking a little to curb any anxiety.  You can still be successful and function in society if you check your levels, maintain, and smoke now and then.  Alcohol and alcoholics are much worse, don't you agree!
Last, pot is classified as a level 1 narcotic??  Same class as LSD?? WTF? cocaine is level 2??  It justifies Govmnt existence (local, state, fed) police, policy and budgets. As well as cuts into the profits of big pharma corps and liquor/beer/wine profits.  I hope my state and every other state will legalize.
