Chronic pain

Move if you need it that badly? on my second grow: 1000W Coco Sour Diesel SCROGhttp://forum.grasscity.com/index.php?/topic/1255714-1000W-Coco-Sour-Diesel-SCROG

 

You can black market no one here will look down on you.  Recipes for making pain killers from cannabis are every where on the net I have one in my blog but it needs some work.  Trim is fine and can be in expensive or free if you know a black market grower and he trusts you to take the fall your self if you get caught disposing of the evidence that he or she can't sell from their grow.
 
I recommend topical application as superior for most pain relief it is as easy as washing the pot in booze or isopropyl alcohol and rubbing the tincture of hemp you just made where it hurts or soaking a gauze pad in the tincture and use it as a poultice.  it can get as complex as you are willing to make it after that.  If what you made is not strong enough you can concentrate your tincture by evaporating off some or all of the alcohol it is work that should be done out doors for safety.  If you evaporate all of the alcohol away the sludge left behind is hash oil.  Weigh the container you will be cooking in before and after you boil off the alcohol and you will know how much hash oil you made but your scale will need to be accurate to the gram to make a consistent pain killer.  Add 1/4 cup of a moisturizing lotion per gram of hash oil to start.  Adjust to taste. If your going to mix in the pot you cooked in you might want to think about starting strong 1/8 C / 1 gm and cut the dose if it is too strong.
 
There are also lesser known sources of plant cannabinoids that are not pot and wont get you high or busted but still work for pain.  Most of the traditional herbal medical systems are full of plants active at cannabinoid neuroreceptors or other neuroreceptors that THC can act on.  In my opinion they work better mixed into pot because of synergy between cannabinoids than they do separately.  Members of my family who wont use cannabis use them with great success. 
 
Do a google search of any of the following plants accompanied by the word cannabinoid.
List 1
Magnolia
Oregano
Echinacea
 
List 2
Turmeric
 
At least in Ayurveda and I think also in Traditional Chinese Medicine plants on list 1 would not be used with plants on list 2 because the effects of one appear to lessen the effects of the other.  Turmeric is an inverse agonist like capsaicin and while it has a long history in use for our kind of pain it goes better with other things like Black pepper. List 1 to my knowledge is a list of agonists similar to THC.  Black pepper is a helper medicine that makes the primary medicine in many plants more available to the patient but I do not yet know if it also works well for list 1.  I'm still studying the research.
 
Prickly Ash aka Sichuan pepper goes on list 1 for the same reasons that Echinacea is there.  The searches that would prove it are a little obscure but you can get there from the active ingredient in the Echinacea.
 
If you read medical literature the plant list in this paper may help you also with ideas about Sacred Plant Medicines that are not illegal where you are if legality is an issue for you and you don't want to look up a black market resource.

I like the concentrates

 

Cheep we can't sell it for much dirt weed is great shake is even better.  I make most of my medicine from shake I don't care about what strain it is and I live in a medical state.  Even medical growers make concentrates that way.  The flowers sell for way too much money to go into concentrates unless you grow your own.  Low prices high volume.  Try making a tincture to start.  Use just enough alcohol to get the sticky stuff off the weed.

 

Cannabinoids have great analgesic properties that make medical marijuana an effective medicine to treat many diseases, specially chronic pains. Patients specifically experience pain relief. Talk to your medical marijuana doctor about obtaining any license needed to use legally.

 

 
For just tincture rubbing or drinking alcohol is best.  If taken internally drinking alcohol.  No special precautions unless you plan to concentrate the tincture then you don't want to kill your self with the fumes or blow your self up so work outside or with all the doors and windows open and a good cross breeze.
 
I make infused oils to +/- eat and topicals to rub where it hurts.
 
I don't vape much maybe a few times a year during hay fever season and smoke even less.  Does not go well with my asthma treatment.  I didn't learn to make dabz stuff but I'd like to learn.  It works well in the infused oils I make.

 

Indicas are what will give you couch lock and pain relief. Sativas are a head buzz meant for a daytime smoke. Hindu Kush (like every other real kush strain) is Indica or Indica-dominant. 

 

you will get relief from tinctures and edibles and smoking or vaping. there is so many ways but it is experimentation that will lead you to your own personal discovery of your health and cannabis. your questions of where to find cannabis and how to make the cannabis work for your situation is what everybody is going to be asking. how much longer before our representatives figure out we want our personal health and subsequent happiness much more than their fucked up drug policies. sheeeeesh!!!

 

Hey there Willie,
 
Congratulations, you're the first post i'll respond to here!  I don't know about your cannabis availability, and obviously the lab testing of your strains will be limited to none, but I do have some insight as to what you should be looking for.
 
As per the National Institute of Health, the two best cannabinoids for treating pain are THC and CBD.  Source: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2503660/
 
Additionally, a Sativa strain may cause unnecessary anxiety -- try to stick to Indica, since they're typically higher in CBD anywayx.  That being said, CBD can have a bit of a sedative affect on people, so it may not be something that you can smoke all day.
 

 

 
Is there is any "Ditch Weed" in PA.?  Even though it doesn't have much medicine on it and wont get you high, most of what it does have is CBD in case that is an option there.  Was talking to a fellow from Iowa a while back who had that option available much later in the season than I had expected.  I wonder how it came out for him.  CBD is great for pain when you can get it.  You just have to extract it.  It may also take a small pickup truck full to make enough medicine to be worth the effort.
