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. |

Hi Diandra,
Good to hear you were able to get first-hand advice and are seemingly reaping the benefits, even if it starts with a reduced headache and a loud slumber. I wonder - will you have to prepare extra Thanksgiving food to stave off The Munchies, or does MMJ not have that side effect? Dave.

Hi Diandra,
The "burn" sounds uncomfortable. I hope you find the best product/method/mix for relief. I understand it can take time to find optimal treatment. I hope you have had a joyful Thanksgiving. Love and Light, DejaVu

I got over the burn but do wish I had been warned. It is taking some trial and error but, in the good news dept, it has helped with headaches that have been caused by another med. I had a nice Tday....hope you did as well. D. |

You hit the nail on the head ! Unfortunately, it does seem to have the munchies side effect. My husband reminded me I woke up from my hibernation-like slumber after my first "hit" and immediately asked for a brownie heated in the microwave with ice cream(something I RARELY eat but it was in the house for company). He thought that was hilarious that within seconds of waking up, that was what I asked for....he asked me if I needed anything and he meant like a glass of water! Thankfully, I DID make extra food. Hope everyone had a nice Tday. D. |

[QUOTE=Diandra;1185955]Hi Dave,
You hit the nail on the head ! Unfortunately, it does seem to have the munchies side effect.

Hope everyone had a nice Tday. Hi Diandra i was just reading your post from Oct. I was wondering have you gotten any response yet and have you tried the MJ yet? and if so, did you try the CBD and did it make you feel high? and did it help your pain? what type of pain do you suffer from? I suffer from small fiber neuropathy, I am in NY, they legalized it here and I am hoping to find this to help me with my pain and burning skin and feet . thanks |

I am lost in my pain
It's one thing not able Or rather just couldn't do anymore trial and error My use of MM Is the only thing that keeps my mind from snapping My pain is so great right now and in the last six weeks a flare up my upper right back I have been without a shirt or anything for that matter My lower back just not worth talking about But the pain is so great I just want to die There is another seven minutes before I start my med intake I have been on the same time upon intake I feel once I begin messing with my clock my body has become used to regimen I do not like having to take any The withdrawal alone is freighting in itself I am under medicated only because I fear becoming a zombie It makes me so bloody angry I just want to die Just knowing my nerves are not calm They are just burning this body up without fire My waist just cut me in half My hands feet just cut them off they do not work upon command I drop everything My neck and base of my skull Someone please just bite it out Just as a animal who hasn't eaten in weeks Rip it out please Just rip it out MM has allowed me some respite I cannot imagine not having it if need be And I need be Being a recovering alcoholic for twenty four years now just drives me nuts Alcohol the culprit for many And there are many who do not loose their privileges to a few drinks To have to know take opioids to give me some relief for my mechanical problems my spasms the small nerves like biting ants all on my back feet hands Taking my meds is a huge mental battle I have no choice in the matter And to think I WILL go through severe withdrawals if I did not have them And yet "I" know there sits a bottle on the shelf Just three shots just three And that numbing feeling just comes over you Twenty four years for what I am screaming in pain Just kill me please And yet I'm not ready to give up the fight yet It is getting harder and harder I have a couple of years left taking my tamoxifen for having the breast cancer That just hit me I still can't believe I had my breasts taken off to eradicate my disease But why do I still feel like I am slowly dying This is not how one should feel Oh if I could explain the horrible feeling I have in my gut It never fails me I know something underlying is going on I still have no explanation as to why the veins in my hands and feet swell burst and cause bruising Go figure No blood runs to the tips of my fingers Or the tips of my toes Only my maker knows my pain And I am scared Me
