Medical Cannabis and Cannabinoids for Chronic Pain

[@thomastousant7178]

There is/ are more parts of life. Pain stops one from many things. The constant pain takes energy and concentration to cope with. Helps with but without something to focus on other than waiting for your next doctors appointment and your meds? Each plant holds different nutrients similar but different.

I started using M MJ in 2020, I quit for 4 months this christmas. Just to see how I did without it. I just started rso again a few days ago. I was just unable to sleep for more than a few hrs before my back woke me up. Got a decent nights sleep for the first time in months. A small bit of rso with dinner was all it took. I have severe stenosis and some nerve problems in my back, the MJ helps smooth it all out enough for me to be able to relax at night. I eat a bit of rso morning and night. It doesn't 100% kill the pain but it makes it much easier to handle.

I have spinal stenosis and I work as a mechanic. After trying medical THC my pain is nearly gone. I had an MRI done before. I haven't stopped working for more than a week. It would be interesting to continue with MRIs and THC use. If any MDs need someone with clean before/after use let. Me know.

I have had 12 major spinal surgeries and my medications don’t allow me to do much with my kids, around the house and had to go on disability. I would love to know what CBD amount that could help and I live in Texas and not sure the laws here on here. Any advice would greatly appreciated!

I suffered 2 work related accidents which left me with 3 herniated discs in my neck and 2 blown rotators and I had to go to medical cannabis for treatment of 7 types of chronic pain and I vape the medical cannabis and I go for around 20 to 25 % thc and between 2 -14 % CBD works for me . But everyone is different in what they need for the pain . I also make my own edibles which contains between 50 - 100mg of thc . I went with medical cannabis because I didn't want to go with opioid painkillers. I'm up to 5 grams of cannabis a day and I now feel little to no pain and I take no pills to help , it's all the medical cannabis. Since the cannabis it's like night and day , when I don't medicate to when I do . If I go more then 4 hours without vaping I will start to have a resurgence of my chronic pain symptoms. My prescription is vape or smoke a joint every 3 hours or as needed not to exceed 5 grams a day .

Virtually impossible to get this sort of assistance in the UK 🇬🇧

[@romac9516]

I'm in the UK and got a prescription in a week for THC flower. CBD is fully legal. There's plenty of help in the UK but - unless you're a chemo patient - it's not available on the NHS so you have to pay. Good luck!

@@romac9516 I pay alright for the atrocious assistance I get & not in a good way, my immune system & my livers been destroyed (by medications, not alcohol which I haven't had for over 20yrs) I've had three tooth extractions without painkillers anaesthetic or antibiotics & they broke my jaw during two of those. The ways I've been treated thus far has been positively medieval in type.

[@commentpoint3371]

God, this was depressing. As a person trying CBD, it just gave me no hope. I have tried vaping CBD, but it seemed to depress me. Definite pain reduction. And better sleep. I am now about to try a cream instead as the eliquid feels harsh to vape. I found the scientific report especially disheartening. I wish I hadn't watched. I wondered how beneficial to Big Pharma it was to 'show' that CBD is pretty useless.....science has been corrupted by funding.

[@snehalkrishnan618]

Why are you using E-liquids? Those are really bad for you. Stick to CBD flower or even regular flower (Indica if you’re seeking higher CBD for pain relief). Also I recommend getting a dry herb vaporizer to vape your flower.

Find yourself the strain Cannatonic 🎉

Cbd does nothing for pain I've tried it for a long time and got nothing.

[@angelgomez5388]

You need THC

[@lisajoyce6803]

No doubt to me the only thing that cbd is good for is to bring you down when you’re going overboard with the medical cannabis
