Thanks Doc.

Unfortunately, even if it's legal in my state, there is nothing really but first hand knowledge from fellow users of the best way to do things. Doctors make a recommendation: Sativa, Indica or Hybrid. That's all they do. And frankly, the people at the dispensaries are usually not that knowledgeable. I found a sort of manufactured type edible that I'm using now that helps, but frankly can't handle marijuana every night yet.

Indica is WAY better for sleep...

at least for me...it works GREAT...

Hi Brainstemmed,

I hope you don't mind me posting here I'm usually on the Epilepsy forum. Medical Marijuana has been proven to help people who have neurology or other problems like cancer. My Dr. wants to put me on m.m. to stop my seizures but I still have to wait for the state to okay it.
This past summer they had a special on CNN with Dr. Sanjay Gupta showing how medical marijuana reduced seizures in a little girl who was having 300 seizures a week.
The THC level is low and that's the part that's used for a person to get high while the CBD level is high and that is the part of the marijuana that helps people who have neurology and other medical problems. Check out the Stanley brothers who live in Colorado they grow medical marijuana for people who need it. I wish you the best of luck and May God Bless You!

I actually have a vape pen that contains 35% CBD. The last couple of times it gave me a headache, but sometime soon, I'll try it again.

Vape pens
 

i tried a vape pen several weeks ago and i just love it...i had a cough from the smoke and that is now gone...

it is extremely helpful to me, and i encourage others to give it a try if you can.

Hi Brainstemmed
 

If this were legal in my state, I would indeed try it. Instead I am petitioning to get this amendment on the 2014 ballot. When people stop to ask me if I use this medication, I tell the truth no, as if I got caught, I would lose my medical benefits. I am going legal beagle, all the way to our state Capital. I can't tell you how weird it is to look my neighbors in the eye and ask for them to sign the petition. I talked to the ex vice mayor, and Ex Cop last Sat. I guess from a cops view point, he said he was worry people would abuse and drive etc. I explained that this wasn't for kids, or for entertainment, but for a medical issue. I don't know if it works, but someday if this passes in my state, I would try it. If there is a way off the many medications I have, and this would help. Sign me up....I don't need or want the THC, but I do hope for pain relief. ginnie:grouphug::hug:

Vape pen?
 

What is that? ginnie:hug:

In California, it seems like the focus is on high THC content. That isn't what I'm looking for. I vape Indica. I have a little bit of one topical that I can't find anyone that sells anymore. A small fingerful really relaxes you. I've got another topical that helps fairly well with moderate pain and does not make you 'stoned' or sleepy.

I have a friend who uses it for sore joints and muscles too and she loves it

Tried pills, but too much THC and my tolerance is so plow that I spent all night vomiting and with bad heartburn.

Not sure what your question is? But if you're asking about THC, it is the chemical in marijuana that gets you high. Sativas have higher amounts of THC and gives you more OD a head high. Indica has less THC, and tends to relax and effect the body more. Helps with most pain, though I've heard that Sativas are good for mygraines, and I'll use it for tics.
