Favorite Medical Marijuana Strain

Yep. It’s all marketing BS.

Indica vs Sativa? Also BS.

Medical uses? Mostly BS. We just aren’t sure which part is BS, which is the problem.

Indica and Sativa have been cross bred forever, I would be surprised if a pure strain existed that was not hybrid to one degree or another.

Do you have any peer reviewed studies showing that it is "pure bs", or are you engaging in the same broscience they are?

I just posted three desperate things, with the third theoretically referring to dozens of medical issues.

What, exactly are you hoping to see here?

Or is it just random mewlings from someone who wants to pretend he’s *right*..about something and anything?

I suspect the latter, which is why I probably won’t be doing your scutwork and watch you dismiss it outright.

I've never heard that pot cures anything...where is that coming from? Not even nausea...it just helps the symptoms.

It relieves some symptoms and it provides pain relief in at least a couple of ways, one of which is as a muscle relaxant.

And these things are not fake, as much as the pharmaceutical industry would like to deny it.

I have no skin in this game, but am considering it for neck pain. Was never a fan but that's because I didnt like smoking period, and didnt go out of my way to find a bong. I never bought pot, just took what was offered. BUT I certainly had it relieve a few headaches back then.

And I have tried pharmaceutical muscle relaxers. They no longer work. Dont touch the neck pain. I havent tried all of them but the more common ones prescribed? No. So why wouldnt I try something that would be better overall for my system and could work? My Dr and I discussed it yesterday and she's all for trying it. Esp. the tincture.

Have you considered 'vaping'? Half a puff of mist has no effect on your lungs and is an easy delivery system. You may have answered this already and I missed it. Tinctures are less potent and intense as edibles but still difficult to regulate the dosage. I know a lady who uses one drop in her morning coffee. My very first time smoking I got almost no buzz at all and was told by friends that this was not uncommon for brains with no previous cannabinoid activity. Cannabinoid receptors, located throughout the body, are part of the endocannabinoid system, which is involved in a variety of physiological processes including appetite, pain-sensation, mood, and memory.

The second time I smoked I got 'wayyyyy' too stoned, not fun. I was geeking out telling my friends to get it outta me! By the 4-5th time I built up enough tolerance to enjoy the buzz and learned 'less was more'. Even though this was when average street swag had 5% or less THC, I hung around surfers who got premo skunk weed. I won't use marijuana more than once a week and for a few months at a time. I'm not wild about sitting in front of the TV, binge watching goofy shows and eating like a mule. I never gain weight on weed tho, because it somehow speeds up my metabolism. It's been a better alternative for me than opioids, which even used sparingly, lose their effect and increase in problematic side effects. Muscle relaxers again are for the occasional real bad days. It takes one of them and 2 Advil to offer any relief and they can give me nightmares.

BTW, anyone listen to this tune completely ripped and tell me if you start playing the air drums? :lol:

Maybe it will come down to price and availability. At least I wouldnt need a scrip for the pot. I see many different forms, which is great since I dont like inhaling smoke.

Hey there, Lady! :2wave:

My Hubs had surgery (major heart related). He is **not** a smoker, however...

We found an excellent option at a dispensary in Vancouver. Much like the little bottles of sweetener for coffee they have, they have those "infused" options. There were 2 kinds, indica or sativa. Or "morning" and "night." We added a few drops to the nightly tea, and it was quite helpful. Relaxed, good sleep, no 'morning after' effects...

He ended up taking probably 1/3 of the pain meds the surgeon prescribed. I highly recommend it.

And despite the comments I've read, IMHO there is a real difference between sativa and indica...

Hope this helps...

I've been off DP awhile...my laptop met its match. My daughter armed with water. Happy New Year!

Thanks, I think that's what I've seen referred to as 'tinctures?' With a dropper?

Hold it under the tongue too, to get into bloodstream faster?

I am considering it still. I'm really glad to hear your husband is more comfortable!

Thanks!

He is. And he's not on opiates anymore. And I'm soooooo grateful to live in a part of the country where this option is even available. My father has Parkinson's but he's in Georgia... he has no option.

Until I convince him to move to PNW!

I wish I could remember the name of them... they aren't the dropper tinctures you put under your tongue... but it's the same idea. It's similar, but you can add a few drops to anything liquid. It's tasteless. It kinda looks like those stevia bottles you add to coffee if you need sweetener. Concentrated. It's a bit bigger than those 5 Hr Energy bottles. I'm sure they have it up in your area... I'll ask 'the guy' next time what the name brand is. I think it's about $50, but that lasted 3 months for him.

I couldn't believe the difference it made for him...

It's something that should be available to everyone regardless of what state they live in.

But then, that cuts into Pharma profits... Grrrrr...

If I keep up with that line of thought, I get really angry...Especially with the opiate problem now. It's hard not to be cynical about the whole system.

Threegoofs said:

I agree.

I’m all for personal use, and I think it can probably help lots of people.

But my professional life has been dedicated to treating disease with effective and safe medicine. I’ve seen scores of people hurt by using herbal or homeopathic drugs that either harmed them directly or supplanted a real treatment for their issue. I’ve worked with many experimental drugs that held great promise, only to fail to be efficacious in the end or have a surprising adverse effect profile.

We are medicalizing this drug inappropriately. It should be treated like alcohol with less adverse effects, not as some wonder medicine.

I'm all for personal use, too... it's really none of my business how others live their lives... That being said...

I'm completely skeptical of "homeopathy" -- it's hurt a lot of people. But I don't see how you put MJ in the same category...With the exception of *arrest*, how is pot harmful?

I kinda resent the alcohol comparison... It's not fair at all. Every 'incident' I ever had with police involved booze. Somebody's drunk. Somebody started a fight. Somebody went from zero to ten with their temper in five seconds.

Every state that has legalized marijuana has decreased their share of opiate-related deaths. Unfortunately, the current AG Jeff Sessions doesn't believe in science... Since the opiate epidemic is so bad now, why wouldn't *anybody* look at the numbers & **be open** to the idea there's a better way? That would actually change things & make it better for *everybody*?

We don't put people in jail & ruin their lives for taking ginseng or ginko. Something is really wrong, here.

IMHO.

What you said.
Plus, the drug laws are maybe not the last but the highest-profile laws based on Christian morality. You shouldn't do that, so we'll make a law that you can't. Yeah, that'll work.
And the homeopathy thing, my experience says those types take a shotgun approach- they'll load up on all kinds of of stuff that's pretty benign and at the same time they take what their doctor prescribed. When their seborrhea clears up they'll tell all their friends that garlic infused in coffee did it.
As for pot, anyone who ever tried it supports it's legalization. Everyone who opposes it never tried it so doesn't know what they're talking about.

If you agree homeopathy has hurt people, then you have to agree cannabis has hurt people.


I’m certainly open to better ways. And cannabis might be that..but it also may not be.

But people promoting cannabis for things it may really not be helpful for can be quite harmful. And people avoiding real treatments for false claims about cannabis can be a real problem.

But overall, I agree that is probably quite benign, and potentially good for lots of symptomatic stuff.

That's very fair. I can agree with that.

Cannabis isn't a magic bullet by any means.

I *would* encourage anyone to try it first, though... compared to opiates or other "homeopathic" alternatives...

I know it's anecdotal evidence, but I've watched too many people end up with really serious problems after taking narcotics or trying to substitute something from GNC...

I've yet to see that with pot... in fact... (anecdotally, again) ... the people that have access to MJ are usually the same ones that still have extra prescription meds left over because they just don't need to use them as much.

Treating it like it's heroin or something super addictive hurts everyone. Not to mention, I think the "reefer madness" type scare tactic exacerbates the problem of heavier drugs...

Kids "try it" like cigarettes or alcohol... They've been told how "bad" it is... but anybody that actually tries it sees it's pretty mild... so then when anyone warns against opiates or harder drugs, they think adults are full of crap. So then they pay less attention to the warnings that are really serious because they *know* they've been lied to.

Just my thoughts...

Tell it sista’.

Agree with all of the facts, and most of the sentiment.

For what it's worth, I've quit smoking MJ again already for the same reason last year, it's just to mind altering strong. It made me act out of character and be someone I'm not.

Not to say that it has this effect on everyone but the benefits are simply not worth the negative side effects for me. I usually have to stick to OTC medicines, supplements and some non narcotic prescriptions for health.

My latest is Critical +, and I like it. It's low THC and high CBD. It's worth a try.

I should mention that I grow my own, do an extract, and then put that in capsules. I find I like lower THC when eating when compared to vaping or smoking.

Sweet Seeds has a new line of medicinal seeds, I'm going to give them a try, when I start growing again in the Fall.

I'm 47 years old, and I smoked pot maybe 15 times in my teens and early twenties and really liked it...usually laughed my ass off. I've tried it lately and it's not the same and everyone says today's weed is much stronger. I don't want to get anxious and paranoid, I just want to relax and either laugh or be contemplative. Anyone have any good suggestions?

What I have been able to get is harsh. No one has a clue where any hashish can be had. Good hash is a pleasant buzz and sweet to the taste. Suggestions?

Weed helps one to lose their inhibitions. Weed arouses those who already have a good sex drive. Let me know when geriatrics profess that weed helps for good sex....and the strain.
Not because I'm 70ish. Because that strain of weed works miracles.

Take only a little puff...


Let me see. Relaxing.




Bearing in mind that everything effects people differently, strains I find more relaxing:

OG Kush
Mango Kush
AK-47
Chocolope
Amnesia (not Amnesia Haze, which is sharper)


Jack Herrer isn't necessarily "relaxing," but it's nice and clear without being anxious.
Northern Lights can also be pretty clear without being anxiety-inducing.
