Medical canniabis

[Imadeyouup]

Hi folks i wanted to know your opinions on this subject?

I'm on this for my chronic pain and my anxiety and depression and it helps me no end it allows me to have some kind of life i can go to the gym and get out walks with my dog now.

Before getting on it i was near enough bed ridden and in such a depressed state i wanted to die all of the time but i was no shape to try and do anything about it.

It really has helped me.

Some of gets you high (THC) other ones it doesn't i go for the one that doesn't get me high i've had ones that do get me high in the past but i didn't feel they worked as well.

I've never used any sort of drug for my recovery process, but I am very glad to hear that it helped you, even at least a little bit!

I heard for some people cannabis can make things worse (ie - they feel high first but then they crash much lower than they were before) so I'd be wary in recommending it to everybody and anybody.

I use edible cannabis with high levels of CBD (the non-high stuff) to help me sleep and deal with anxiety. Only use it occasionally as I do have concerns about it being addictive. But it does help.

Adding a note to this thread just to say admin have asked me to remind people that medical cannabis can be discussed ONLY as an MD prescribed medication and any discussion of self medicating or non-medical cannabis will be removed. Thank you very much

This is why i don't use the stuff with THC in it because it did the same for me. I use the high CBD stuff it doesn't get you high and also very good for pain.

Yes I use the CBD oil - I've got to use it everyday due to the fact i'm in pain without it
I was bed ridden before it and had to use a wheel chair if i was going out anywhere.
it's been really difficult to talk about using CBD to people because they think i'm a junkie

I've used it in the past but then it started giving me more headaches, which is already one of my issues as it is so that is kind of a fail.
I'm in CO though and the way they're making this stuff now is pretty amazing. Just the way they can cater strains to getting more sleep VS lowering anxiety VS reducing pain, etc. is pretty awesome.
My family has a chronic pain condition and my mother eventually killed herself because of that. I honestly think that if she'd been able to have access to MMJ she might've made it a little longer. She would've never done any illegal drugs though soo...

Hi there and thanks for reply i'm sorry it gave you more headaches maybe its about just finding the right strain and dosage for you to be able to use it.
it really is amazing what they are doing with it finally they have started to listen and all from a simple plant.
My family also has a chronic pain condition and i've got it as well I felt like my life was over at 27 when i was told i had it but now with the help of MMJ i've gotten some life back
i'm sorry to hear you're mom took her own life because of pain i can certainly understand why she did it is no fun to live a life like this or lack there of.

Super true, super good advice. Not all strains are good and I've encountered quite a few that just simply give me a headache.

Yes i've had the same experience with the MMJ that is smoked but i use the oil now and its much better for me.

I use cannibis oils to deal with insomnia and it works better than anything else I've tried with no side effects. My insomnia can be best described as refractory; stuff either worked for a little while and stopped or I'd have a paradoxical reaction.

It brings my pain from a 7-9 down to a 5.. prevents my migraines.. Currently have a vaporizer and plan to use the ABV herb to make eatables.. I don't want to ness use it but pain medications don't work for me.. I'm also on other medications and supplements..

I tried CBD alone first before doing full herb but it had no pain relieving effect for me.. Only anxiety..

It also helps with my nausea..

In relation to this. I have now tried home made eatables from the abv weed and had WAY too much on accident. I dont reccomend using a lot of abv weed. I only used 1Tbs and I was not prepared for the trip! Eatables are a ton more potent then smoking it for me apparently. Smoking never got me high at all. Just helped pain releif. So I might end up just sticking to that form of consumption. Be careful dosing.

From experience Sativa/Hybrid types of weed are mind stimulants and increase levels of paranoia and restlessness/anxiety. I find only Indica types of weed help me deal with issues (sleep/full body relaxation)

All will be high in THC and low in CBD, but if you suffer with anxiety then I would stay stick to indica strains!
