My qualifications here are as a moderator. As a student, I don't give out any advice. FBR just used me as an example above to show that there were people here who were in the process of getting training, just as there are others like him and my husband, who've already completed their MD degrees. As he said above, we also have a number of other degreed nurses, pharmacists, and other medical professionals here.

DSX, you clearly don't know me or you'd already be very familiar with the fact that I don't give advice here other than "See your doctor." That's my standard advice on these boards. My current EMT-P (paramedic) certification qualifies me to respond to you if you have an illness or injury requiring emergency treatment. We don't have those types of situations on these boards. So my standard line here is always "Go see your own doctor." You can confirm that with a quick review of my post history. Others will attest to these facts.

One last note to whoever wrote this above. I'm not a stoner. You'll want to be very careful about using that term here because there are plenty of us who're cannabis advocates but not users.
