    My grandma has several conditions and is also a diabetic. She is in constant pain and has countless different pain meds and all that shit. I think that medical mj would help her a lot and that she would have no problem getting a perscription because of all the stuff happening with her. The only issue is I don't know how to bring it up without sounding like a stoner. Any help with this issue would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

    Do your parents know/suspect you smoke?

    Talk to your grandma, not your parents.
    Let her know that you are sorry that she is in pain. When she complains about the cost of all her meds, ask her if she has thought of trying herb for pain relief.

    Finally, if she decides to try it, check with her doctor. She may be on a hefty coctail of drugs and the interation with pot should be checked out before she smokes.

    I have been caught smoking before but I think my parents think I quit or something.

    In that case as just suggest it to your grandma when your parents aren't around. Just suggest it like "Have you ever considered using medical marijuana?'' or something like that.

    try suggesting it in a joking way first, so you can judge her reaction to it. If she seems partial to the idea, bring it up as a serious alternative to taking tons of pharmies.

    print up information concerning the benefits of using marijuana medicinally, especially for her specific ailments and find some way to give them to her. leave them where she will read them, or maybe just tell her you found out something that may help her and show her the benefits. with any luck you can unload an Oz. right there

    I would just be like "Granny, I see that you're in a lot of pain, and my friend's grandma (or uncle or sister or whatever) smokes marijuana to help. If you want, I could find out more about it. It really helps her, and I only want to see you feeling better".

    Simple as that. If she goes for it, get RELIABLE information for her, read it with her.. discuss it. If she likes it... find a good med. brownie recipe STAT! :)
