Happy 420 everyone : Thank God for... - My MSAA Community
Happy 420 everyone
I am right there with you. Thank God for the change in laws that allow us to have access to medication that helps us with the nightmare which we endure. ๐
Right on brother!!!
I only go to dispensaries for " pure flower"
God bless you Allen5280๐

I get flower and I make my own edibles and tincture. That way I am certian of the purity of my medications. I would even grow my own if I had the place to.
Very much agree...I recently tried one night without medical marijuana and the pain was so bad...I certainly donโt miss those days...Iโd much rather take my chances with a drug coming from an herb, than a conventional one that is fully created in a lab. Do you inhale or have you decided on other forms of taking it, considering the virus and possible risk for inflammation to the lungs with vaping? ๐ค
I have COPD, therefore I eat or drink mother nature.
God bless you Timeflies5

I wish it was readily available in England but everything is so slow here. Enjoy ๐
It had a slow take off here, too. It took doctorโs about a year to get onboard with certifications, let alone the state setting up dispensaries. Itโs still illegal on a federal level, which kinda confuses me? Itโs def not cheap here, too! I wish I could grow my own...maybe one day? ๐คท๐ผโโ๏ธ
Hi Susan๐!
I wish I could grow my own too. I live in apartment complex so growing is OUT. Even though I have my medical card.
YES , the Laws are complicated!?! It's very costly here, therefore go to MI( 1/3 the cost)
Just telling you what I get, but asking your own dispensary is what you should do.
God bless you,Susanโค
Your friend, Lisa๐

Iโm so glad it works for you. What specific type do you use?
When I got dx'd in 5/2014, NV legalize medical marijuana the next year. Nevada is the only state that test marijuana and a lot are organic and properly labelled. Now we also have recreational and anyone can purchase. I spent a lot of money to figure exactly what works for me. I literally look at what makes the flowers, called terpenes. So I can tell you the majority is indica but some are hybrid and others are staiva. I vape, which goes a long way, I eat it, make butter infused and make brownies and snickerdoodle cookies. You have to have self control, eating takes an hour or two to kick in. Myrcene, caryophyllene and pinene are what I look for and use. I only do cbd when I get a low appetite ; I prefer CBG and CBN. In six years, if I had the energy I would work as a budtender. I also have hand and finger issues so I don't write a lot. Look up terpenes, you can drink a shot, vape eat it and I even use pain creme and chapstick.
Wow...you sure are knowledgeable...thanks very much for the info...Iโll carefully look into all that...currently, I vape Sativa in the morning and Indica at bedtime and add one Indica capsule to sustain vape for uninterrupted sleep. It works great! I also use a CBD/low thc vape for breakthrough pain in between during day, as needed. My pain and energy are pretty well-controlled with this regimen. I am concerned with vaping considering virus, but my effective dose is still low when I do vape, so I donโt need much. The capsules help extend the life of the vape nicely for either strain. Thanks again for all the info...I didnโt know all the options and would like to look into what you mentioned. ๐ค
Happy 420!!!!! Makes dealing with symptoms a lot easier. ๐๐คญ๐โฅ๏ธ๐น
it has a lot names than what you stated but I'm glad you're happy with it.
true part takers would say the legal is weak and would rather hit the illegal
I have heard legal marijuana in CA is out of this world.
I wouldnโt mind if it was weaker or more expensive. Just the ease of finding it and not having to search all over town to find some. As a person that is pretty much stuck in the house all the time even way before covid-19. It would be a blessing I think.
Sure, your " pot buddies" would want the illegal, which is probably spread with hallucinogens !!!
I'd rather know WHAT I'M GETTING than chance it!!
Like I said before- Get educated, YOU MAY LEARN SOMETHING !!!
That's so true. I gave up a whole lot, to be able to get my life back, years prior up all night in pain. Since although our state does not discriminate, the Feds do.
But it was worth it to come out of my M.S. "comatose". Just have to resort to "legal CBD" and pass out on lots of disgusting alcohol when I travel, to stay legal. To stay alive. I won't resort to illegal weed, even though I know many friends who do, because they are not willing to loose their federally regulated rights.
I need to relocate to a state with legal medical marijuana. I wanna shop at a weed dispensary. I wanna try edibles. I need some pre rolled blunts because I canโt roll them myself anymore. I miss blunts so bad. One hitters are convenient and helps you ration out your stash a little longer but blunts are my favorite. Maybe one day my ass backwards state will realize itโs better to prescribe marijuana than opioids.
when you live in a conservative state,good luck!
Nevada was a conservative state until recent years. I write President Trump to legalize accross the country every chance I get.
Taking Full Extract Cannabis Oil (FECO or "RSO") in a capsule rectally largely avoids the "high " cannabis produces permitting a much higher blood level. Great for those with neuropathy, various other pains, sleeping, dreaming and in men can bring PSA levels way down.
Consuming cannabis in this manner gives the very highest rate of absorption and is easy to do.
Growing cannabis and making the "oil" are not hard or too complicated. I compare it to growing tomatoes and making peanut brittle. Mmmmm....
May the Lord be with you and give you peace your journey as he does for me. Seek him and be blessed.
Good morning, ck722๐
Thank you for all the information! I'll have to try it ( rectally ).
The Lord has given me strength to go on!!!
God bless you ck722โค
Your friend, Lisa ๐๐
Start out with 1 -tiny- drop in a gelatin cap. Remember, the half life is several days so taking a smaller amount the next day can produce a greater result! Place it 1-1.2 inches in, no further or it will make you high. Lots of info on the web. Something well worth researching. You can sense it in 15 minutes. Max strength in 2 hours. Strong "body high", nil "head high".
cheers
You learn something new everyday! I didn't know about the meaning of 420, and now I know!
wow now that is lots of info...our daughter uses for her fibro...
Can anyone give some feedback on the amount of tincture to really help with spasms? My husband is taking 1/4 dropper morning & night, and considering increasing. Also, is it true that the tincture can cause constipation?
It varies from person to person. We each have our own cannabinoid system and is individual as we each are. I've never had constipation from tinctures but it varies depending on the extraction process. It also depends on the strength of the tincture. I usually require 200 to 400 mg of THC and cannabinoids (terpenes, cbd,cbg etc) a day. Depending on my particular bad or worse day. The higher THC levels whic at first made me a bit out of it. (This is over the course of 5 years of the treatment) I also helps my nerves connect where connections have been lost. Research has speculated that the thc that make people high, is acting as an artificial myelin and greatly improving my ability to function daily. The best thing to do it look at medical information from you dispensary or if you in a place where you gave to go at it because the laws still forbid it. Check out Colorado and Callifornia info. Or there are alot of really good apps to help finding and understanding the best for your particular set of symptoms.
Thank you, helpful information.
Yes, cannabis does seem to assist old or some non-functioning nerves to work. At 69 my hearing is going downhill. When I take cannabis at night (as I mentioned above) the next morning as I am drinking my coffee and viewing the news, I notice the "S" sounds are more clear. The first time I experienced this, it was a real eye opener. I thought the TV was up too loud, but it was not. Very nice side-effect. The next day I am back to normal with somewhat dull hearing unless I take more. This definitely needs to researched.
Okay, I missed it! 4/20. But, we did do our 1/2 dose of dark chocolate Sativa for 4/20! The energizing type. I did my 2 wheel power walker and got the grass cut for the first time this year. I also did the trimming, and popped a couple dozed dandelions that cropped up! Wonders what the legal weed does. It is legal in our state. Then, did the legal in all 50 high CBD from hemp flower to squelch the evening burning feet thing. So overall, a great day.
No parties, just close to normal life pre-MS.
Helps my headache
