Hi D, I'm pleased for you, I wish you all the very best with it. Some states here agreed to participate in trials but it is unlikely ever to be approved for chronic pain. MJ is an S9 here, oxy is an S8.

THC supposedly gives euphoria, pain relief and increases the appetite, CBD will only deal with the pain. From what I can glean the pill format seems to be THC.

Cannabis vaporizers gained popularity because of peple declining to smoke it and the dose is unpredictable. Cannabinoid medicines are available in pill form in the US apparently, (dronabinol and nabilone) and liquid extracts formulated into an oromucosal spray (nabixinols)

Hi Diandra

All the best for your foray into medical marijuana. I hope you are able to find some type that gives you pain relief.

I don't know if you've been following the recent thread on this topic started by icelander who's trying CBD oil. Here's the link:

Well, it will depend a lot on you Diandra.

Edibles take longer to take effect, though last longer. CBD is thought to lower the "high" of THC, or perhaps is proven <woke up due to this fine weather change> so perhaps a hybrid will suit you well to offset any disagreement to that feature. I never minded it myself in the past...

Hoping that when NYS passes I fet the choice, though I am happy you have it now. Talk it over with dispensary personnel.

When we were in Colorado and I was able to check out how it affected my pn it was limited, as most indicas I wanted to try were behind the medical wall for some reason (could have been the dispensary- I went to two). They have the higher CBD. Hybrids should bring both to the table, though usually are dominate indica or sativa (higher THC).

PM me or ask here, either one is fine. I've done some research during these morning hours and am happy you have more choices. Good for you!

My best,

Jon

awesome stuff
thanks!

Hi,

New York State is in the process of getting things up and running for medical marijuana.

If you check with the " Compassionate Care New York " website they are a wealth of knowledge. They are also on Facebook.

I also heard that the CBD oil is the one that helps with the pain

Good luck with your search.

There is CBD oil that is supposed to be 100% THC free, it is made from hemp. It is legal in all 50 states from what I have learned. I am considering discussing it with my PCP, neuro, and rheumy. I really feel I need some kind of relief. I do not take anything stronger than Tramadol, it is my preference. I do not wish to be getting addicted to any meds and there may come a time that a stronger med will be needed. Percocet is like taking candy, Demerol is one I am allergic to so that closes the narcs that work for me. I also saw that the FDA will make a decision (during the first half of 2016) about making marijuana medically available (class ll-lV) instead of keeping it listed as a class l, highly addictive and not medically useful. There may be some hope in the future after all.

I live in Florida. We passed this in Nov. Yes it helps. From my experience so far
the CBD helps a little for my CRPS but makes me very sleepy.i don't want to sleep all the time. BEen there/ Done that 20 years ago with meds. The one that helps me is the one with medical marijuana. COmes in all above with doses of 5-10 mg of THC helps me a lot. You just have to decide how fast you need it and dosage and the doc gives you that option. SO go slow less is more until you see what really works for the longest time. I tried eatables but not fast enough for me about an hour. So I want to try vaporize because from what I have read that takes effect faster.just don't drive after you take any of them. My opinion as a
person dealing with this for 23 years and an RN in ICU, Recovery Room and Surgery experience. Hope this helps. Email me if you want more info.
