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: http://neurotalk.psychcentral.com/thread227130.html |

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

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. |

Well Ladie and Gents....I finally got my Medical MJ, just yesterday.
What a bizarre experience because getting into the building was like getting into Fort Knox. I later learned they only take cash or Debit card so have a lot of cash around and obviously they are worried about theft of MMJ as well. I opted not to smoke or get the edibles.Most of the meds are blends of CBD and THC. I have oils in vaporizers. There are ones blended for daytime and one specific for evening. I also got a blend on a piece of paper you dissolve on your tongue. I was very fortunate that the waiting room was packed and I got to talk to many patients and learn from their experiences. Most suggested the vapdizers for the most even delivery and sustained dose. One gentleman with a degenerative nerve disease said he has not slept since the disease hit and now can sleep through the night with his vaporizer of a CBD THC blend. After dinner, I took a hit on a "vape" that is called Cannabidiol 1:5 which is an oil that is CBD:THC . I did feel great relief from a daily headache I have had from my current cancer medication. It is only a hormone pill but the headaches have become wicked. The vape burned my throat and I was surprised because I did not take the buds you smoke in a pipe because I didn't want a burn. I called the dispensary to ask if it was a steam/water burn or a chemical burn and they said a chemical burn. They suggested taking a lighter "toke" and drink some milk. They said my throat would get used to the oil. Will let you know how it progresses. I have to start cooking for Thanksgiving right now so too afraid to try anything until I am through cooking because an hour fter I took a hit yesterday, I fell into a DEEP sleep. My husband said I was snoring so loud he had to make the TV louder!!!! Happy Thanksgiving everyone. I am so thankful for all my lovely and supportive NT friends. You are truly the best and I am inordinately fond of all of you. Love, D. |

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.
