Chronic Pain OsteoArthritis Cannabis and pain: a Journal.

Made a few muffins last night 2g ice went into them.

Pain is at 4/10 a bit of an ease.

 

Had 6/18 muffins yesterday and I've popped another 6 today.

The muffins definitely kept pain at bay.

Pain is at 5/10 but shoots.

Made GD yesterday off 5g ice and i am doing a large batch of AVB 84 g into GD later on.

 

The most would have to be vaping a combination of the weed i have at that given moment with hash and CBD crystals, or CBD shatter/wax.

Don't know for sure thats theres less pain, but there's less fucks given about it, if you see what i mean.

Edibles i have found to be tricky, but GD (thanks to @PsychedelicSam) i would consider essential, i finished a 5 kief gram batch and went to a 84 gram AVB batch. Spent 40 eur on alcohol, but its worth every penny. It gives immediate and lasting bang, but needs getting used to.

I also do a smoothie with a list of anti-inflammatory ingredients most of which bind or help cb1 and/or cb2 receptors.
Mangos, pepper, macca powder, turmeric all in a way help the receptors and therefore the high you get as well.

 

Mind you most of the weed i have is black market staff usually sativas. i have yet to find a pure indica. But my next run is going to be an afgani #1. Doing blueberry auto atm.
Indicas are the shiiite for pain.

 

I fully feel ya mate!
I tried for years!
I now am smokeless since february. Best decision of my life, i get higher with less weed, and i don't even smoke it so when i am done there's tons to make tincture with too.

I am sorry to hear about your arthritis, fingers crossed it's something less sinister !!!

I have used 2 vapes a PAX 2 and Mighty both are excellent, though the Mighty wins.
i would not go for eliquid, eg the glycerin deal, I used to do ecigs so am a bit weary of the consequences of glycerin on lungs.

 

You'd be better off without the spliffs mate so i'd go for it either way!!!

 

Been doing a seminar on arboriculture for which we had an exam.
Had to write for an hour or so.
Hand just killed me!
During writing I had to stop and adjust my holding the pen several times.
By the end of the test pain had shot to 7/10.
By night it was up to 8-9/10.
Had 12 muffins yesterday, which did not do much.
I managed to take the edge away by vaping a mix of weed/hash/cbd crystals and dosing 4 squirts of the latest kief GD.

I started the day at 5/10.
I expect this to increase as i tire my right hand more.

 

Pain did increase and i was in a very foul mood.

today i am a bit better at 4/10 again but on the way down, i think.

anyway i will be meeting with the medical cannabis patients group today, this at least is a good thing.
already vaping a bowl on my pax, smoothie and GD inc.

 

i met the medical group.
and i feel more comfortable about my growing.
Maybe i am too paranoid...

Yesterday pain was at 4/10 today also at 4/10.
bought me 1 gram of CBG crystals and creme with 10mg CBD. the cream is amazing but lasts an hour or so.

 

Pain at a good 4/10.
Changed my CBD intake pattern.

I now do enecta 10% 5 drops and 3 drops endoca RAW 3%. this is three times a day.
Have not figured the best way to use the oil but a single massive dose is not the way for sure.

The recommendation is to add a drop every 4 days until you see a change (good or bad).

Thought of doing a reboot/restart but was convinced on FB that i don't have to.

 

Out and about so replying on mob...

It's a combination, so at 4/10 i can open a jar but its a strain and i feel a bit of pain.

The harder it is to do staff the more pain there is . however i know i will never be able to do pushups no matter how low the pain .

Last night I hit an 8, wife had to button my trousers .... I just could not do my button. Such a situation is an indication for me to vape or eat more. Which i proceeded to do with a mix of hash weed and cbd crystal followed by 2 squirts of GD . about 20 min later i was much better.

 

yesterday pain was manageable at 4-6/10.
was out all day driving....

Today i am at a 4/10,
I used 100 mg cbd cream quite heavily yesterday.
It seems to work miracles. The edge of the pain will go away, if I stress my hands the pain shoot right up, if not i get 40 minutes of 2/10 pain.

 

Heya, don't mind one bit

I add the following:
1) 1 or 2 bananas just as a filler
2) about 2 teaspoons of black pepper (i half a fresh mill and turn the mill 50 times)
pepper does 2,3 things (supposedly) 1 takes the paranoia of sativa away, makes turmeric more bioavailable, piperine makes staff pass threw your liver slower meaning thc/cbd effect last longer.
Also anti-inflammatory
3) 2 teaspoons maca powder, stimulant and slows down breakdown of cannabinoids by blocking FAAH, maca is also anti-inflammatory.
4)fresh turmeric root (NO MORE THAN 3 grams or a teaspoon of spice): this is powerful staff really thins your blood as it is anticoagulant. I found out the hard way on the MRI bed.
Anecdotal information speaks of potentiation of cannabis/ or instant tolerance break... not sure if i believe either.
THERE IS SOME INFORMATION THAT AFTER 8 MONTHS TURMERIC CAN BE TOXIC TO YOUR LIVER
But curcumin has very strong anti-inflammatory powers. the strongest of the lot here.
5) Mango -> contains myrcene giving couch lock indica properties. some suggest you get higher with less.
6) honey, anti-inflammatory and sweetener.
7) Cinnamon as much as 3 teaspoons is anti-inflammatory
8) Coconut oil 2 teaspoons, binds with tumeric to make more bioavailable, also is anti-inflammatory in its own right.
9) Kefir or (real) yoghurt as its also anti inflammatory. Also anecdotal evidence of Rheumatoid Arthritis as well as osteoarthritis.

So i put everything apart from coconut oil in the mixer. Mind you turmeric will stain anything and everything it touches.
I hit it full power for 3 minutes and slowly add the coconut oil if its not like butter. when like butter i just add everything in the beginning.

Hope this helps,
