Is it ‘crazy’ that therapeutic use of marijuana ‘can’t be a medical decision’?
Kenneth Todd lost the ability to use his arms and legs 12 years ago after a diving accident left him a quadriplegic. Before his accident, Ken said, he figured, as many people do, that the worst thing about being a quadriplegic would be the loss of independence — the inability not only to walk but to do simple, everyday tasks without the help of someone else.

I Am on Methadone and Am Taking Xanax, How Dangerous Is the Combination?
Question by jessica: I am on Methadone and am taking Xanax, how dangerous is the combination?
I have been on Methadone on and off for years now and have always taken it with Xanax which has been prescribed for years for my severe anxiety. My Medicad representative is trying to tell me I have to get off Xanax to continue getting funding which I find ridiculous! I realize that there is a risk of taking the two together but it is even more dangerous to drink and they can’t test people for alcohol all the time! I know there are MANY people on Methadone who still drink, some even heavily. I take 1 or 2- 1 mgs. of Xanax a day and sometimes even just take a half or none depending on how bad my anxiety is. Have you ever heard of anyoned dying from the combo. and don’t say Anna Nicole because she was abusing massive amounts. I do not have slurred speech or show any warning signs of an overdose if Xanax increases Methadone levels. My clinic also “blind doses” which I hate, I really would like to know my dose.
