Official "420" thread [No Political Talk]

[Burque]

Did you see Charlotte (namesake of the variety) died from corona? I think she was 13 or 14.

I had migraines very young, as far back as I can remember. There was no vaping then. I also only vape dry herb as far as weed goes and I vape ecigs. But neither has anything to do with the migraines I get.
The migraines I had young stopped about a year after I started chronically getting high in the 70s. Migraines came back about 6 months after I quit getting high in the 90s. A little different, they were a few really bad ones a year when young, now 1-2 a week no barfing but a 3 day headache if I don't take Imitrex or get high on the right variety during the aura.
Since getting my card I still get them but cannabis is every bit as reliable as Imitrex for stopping the aura, maybe even better since I've had a few where I stopped pre-aura vision from turning into an aura. Because I don't function when high on modern stuff I'm not using anywhere near as much as I did in highschool or college so I haven't given up on ending them.
I've only had Maui Wowie that didn't keep the headache from happening, in which case I vape a little, it works as well as the NSAIDs I'm not allowed to have. Medi-Haze is the one that stopped the aura from happening but that one is only available from Seedsman in the EU and I don't trust going though customs.

Vicos=vicodin? Those keep me awake for 12hrs after I take them. After neck surgery I walked the halls of the hospital all night, couldn't sleep. Figured out why after I got home. It's buzzy like I had too much coffee.
Regular codeine makes me sleep poorly, like I'm only dreaming I'm asleep, but at least it's sleep.
Cannabis vs the muscle spasms doesn't stop them, at first it seemed to cause them. But as time went on I was having fewer/taking fewer muscle relaxers.

Have you tried straight up CBD oil?? I'd get a vial of the 1000MG (minimum) and put half a dropper full (I think .5 ml) under your tongue once per day. I ask because I know functioning is a part of your issue with the high THC cannabis.

I have some full spectrum so it has a very small amount of THC enough to only get it from a dispensary but not get high. It might have worked for a migraine but not great enough to trust trying it enough times to say it works. Same with vaping hemp alone for a migraine. If it doesn't work then it sucks.
Plus studies are showing Crohn's needs more than CBD alone and that's always something to hope I can get some benefit for so I do what to get/keep enough tolerance to do some THC.

Them migraines you're having..is because of vaping..i'm not lying buddy.

I also should point out the 7-8 concussion starting at a very young age (like 4 years old). It's reasonable to expect I'd have a problem with that.

With the CBD stuff you just take it everyday in the morning, It doesn't work like normal smoking where you take a hit when shit is hurting. You take it every day and see if there is a benefit noticed about a week in or so.

This is the best CBD oil I have found on the market, I've been taking a 1/3 dropper under the tongue every morning for the past 18 months and all the pain and misery from my multiple muscle and ligaments tears are masked. I can lift weights daily and play tennis 3x/week with a torn rotator + torn bicep + torn labrum without pain:

I've heard about it and wondered... it sounds like snake oil the way it has been marketed the last year or so.

Do they know why it masks/relieves the pain?

Cbd is known to help with inflammation which is one of the major pain factors... This got me thinking how much it helped me and for some reason I stopped taking it. It was kind of expensive.

The only real in depth studies for CBD, with approval, are for epilepsy treatment. There have been studies for pain, indicating that it can be helpful at certain dosages for inflammation. More study is needed, but many find relief, without the side effects of NSAIDs.

Can CBD Cure Chronic Pain?

Cannabidiol (CBD) oil, made from cannabis, is sometimes used for chronic pain. We’ll review the research on whether CBD oil is effective.

I don't pretend to know the science behind it or its true efficacy (vs, placebo), all I know is in order to continue training and playing sports (without surgery) I was seeing my ortho every 3-4 months for cortisone injections into both rotators and had been rehabbing my knee from a snowboarding spill.

Since beginning to take this oil 18 months ago I have not taken or needed any injections or physical therapy so it works for me whether it's snake oil or not.

It is expensive, bt compared to seeing my ortho or compared to surgery it's a bargain.

BTW, Happy 420 to ALL!

Tonight's plan is me and Mrs. Racer and one or two of my kids to spark a joint in the hot tub and then have dinner delivered and eat while we watch the first episodes of Season 2 of What We Do in the Shadows.

And my daughter made a 3-layer ice cream cake for the occasion.

Woot-whoop!

Local dispensary nurse said she uses cbd for migraine rescue.
I've vaped enough to say if it will help long term it's very long, which I'm open to being possible.
I did get some benefit from low dose edibles with cbd. But always with thc because that's what the studies and anecdotes point to for me.

I get flower from Fern Valley. I imagine after this season IL will have more farms selling it.

I'd like to know who's paying $200 for an oz of good stuff? All the places around me want minimum $65 an 1/8

You don't pay 200 a zip for the good stuff at the dispensary bro. You have to have a connect for that.

Funny thing......my wife found this in a closet the other day. From 2 years ago. I have about 1 pound of it from last year and 2 in the hydro tent right now. One of which looks like it is a total failure. I will post some pics later
