Aarcyn,

Yea! Master Kush, eh? Sounds like a good one to me.

I'm glad it's relieving pain and it's not making you too stoney. I can't read anything after medicating - I can't remember a thing I read, lol.

As for storage - don't woory about it too much. As long as it's in a baggie, jar, or anything that's airtight, your alright. I would stick it in a closet where it's dark. I have a refrigerator on our back patio that doesn't work and has a locking device on it. I keep everything in there. Kind of like a poor man's safe, I guess.

Isn't it nice to wake up in the morning with no hangover from drugs?

You mentioned smoking at 7 and again at 10:30. That's a good regimend (sp). I had mentioned not to go to bed for a couple hours after using, but it's ok if it's the second time you smoked in a night. I don't know why that is. If you try to go straight to bed after medicating the first time, your mind will be too active, I've found. If I smoke a second time, it just knocks me out.

Also, I tried to accept your friend invite, but it doesn't seem to be working? Probably operator error (me).

Lefthanded - "I am deeply troubled that anyone would encourage this kind of abuse of the law. To me it is no different than faking pain to get a prescription for pain medication . . . it is fraud."

A couple of things... I never encouraged anyone to do anything. Another thing is perspective. In California, pot has been decriminalized. It's a $50 ticket, which is less than any moving violation in a car. My son decided it's worth $50 to have protection while doing what he was going to do anyway and to be able to buy from a legitimate source. I'm just happy he doesn't care much for alchohol. I think the best line I ever heard about marijuana being a gate-way drug was a person who said it was a gateway drug because it had to be purchased illegallly from drug dealers who tend to sell other drugs as well.
The dr. gave my son the precription. The dr asked what his ailment was and he told him he sometimes got anxious (not a lie), but I assume everyone sometimes gets anxious.

It upsets me to think any doctor would allow this. I know of doctors who lost their license for writing prescriptions for any medication where they should not. This is a misuse of power. I would not want such a dishonest doctor. I also want a doctor who would not be influenced by Big Pharma either. I demand this. This has nothing to do with being cool or fooling "the man", this is grown-up and part of reality.

I also think America is becoming a nation of over-prescribed drugs, yet not monitored. People think there's a pill for what-ever ails you. Anti-depessents are prescribed and handed out like candy. This is serious stuff. OK, getting off my soapbox now.

I have been waiting a very long time to see a post like this...

It makes my heart smile to see the approach you are taking.

Medical Cannabis has been proven to heal Multiple Sclerosis in rat models.

I'll break down some knowledge for you..

All mammals have what is called an "Endocannabinoid System". We have receptors in our brain (CB1 and CB2) that recognize the cannabinoids. We actually produce cannabinoids, but they have found that people with auto-immune diseases have a malfunctioning Endocannabinoid system. SO WE are technically LACKING these cannabinoids, so you will find, when you put them in your body, that it feels like your insides become normal like again.

I have been trying to find a study for this to be a rat model for them because I have researched this plant up and down.

THREE MAIN CANNABINOIDS THAT HEAL MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS:
1.CBD (Cannabidiol)
2. CBN (Cannabiniol)
3. THC (Tetrahydrocannibinol)

The research done on these three cannabinoids is beautiful.. this is what they have found as a SCIENTIFIC FACT...

In the rats that had 'MS' they injected those three main cannabinoids into the rats bodies..

Doing so they found that the cannabinoids were stimulating Astrocytes in the brain, when Astrocytes are stimulated they create MYELIN in DE-MYELINATED areas of the CNS!!!!

YUP thats right folks. Documented evidence.


I've tried this and it works. I don't get euphoric like at all, it literally makes my insides feel like what they did before ms. It stops my neuropathy immediately, calms the spasticity and spasms, makes my tremors stop, and has even helped with walking.

I wish you the best of luck, please keep us updated! I'm very excited for you!!

Yeah, they are know as 'pot-docs' informally and will prescribe to most people that claim a need. The other way to look at it - noone has ever died from marijuana and it does help many people with a variety of conditions.

Devil's advocate - you find you cant get to sleep at night and become worn out. You go to your regular doctor and he writes an rx for sleeping pills (may cause dizzyness, suicidal thoughts, liver damage, rapid heartbeat, dependacy, etc etc etc). Go to a pot doc, he rx's marijuana (may cause dry mouth, munchies, laughter.) Which doctor has put the patient at greatest risk? They both are trying to help their patient.

Next step - California almost passed a law to make it legal for everyone in 2010. A big donor came in and bankrolled a smear campaign and stopped the passage. Who was the donor? The alcohol industry. Now people still need an rx for the product. Who really decided that you can't go to the supermarket and buy mj to help them sleep? The alcohol industry that sells a product that kills people every minute of every day. Noone holds them responsible, yet the pot docs that are issuing rx's for the safest drug you can take (including aspirin) take the heat?

And I totally forgot to mention the strains.

Like Sandy said for Jim, Blue Dream does wonders and has a lovely taste if you vap. It seems white strains work best for pain, spasticity/spasms.
=)

this is a test

This is also a test

Sorry about the 'tests'. I had to have 10 posts before the system lets me post a link. Here's a list that has different strains and conditions that they may help with...

I had a rough night last night despite self medicating twice.

There may be two different reasons, one related to the vaporizer and one non related.

first, the non - I was bitten by something about five days ago. Thought I was just having a reaction to a mosquito bite but it has not healed, red angry large swollen area on my abdomen. An ER doctor lives nearby. He was going to come over but he most have gotten busy. I will call him again today and have him drop by.

It is nice to have a neighbor doctor who will make a house call and not charge. I will give him a bread (as most of you know, I make breads and people buy them, some for over ten years now.)

The second may be vaporizer related. The first time I vaped, I noticed it much more than the last two times. What was the difference? I did not break up as much of the bud and DH takes what was not used and puts it back in the grounded container.

So some of the brown used goes in with the good. I am thinking out with the old and only using fresh each time.

But tonight I am going to try the edible brownie instead of vaping. I will be starting with 1/4 because it is more potent so less is a good starting point. I will just get ready for bed early so that I can handle a negative response.

There is an upside to an overstone. It may make me miserable to cannabis does not kill, even if it is unpleasant. The only time I had an overstone, I knew in the back of my head that it was better than drinking too much alcohol. I would much rather lie in bed than moan over a toilet.

oh I forgot to add. It has been very good for the ms hug each time. No more baclofen.

I will keep this up for another 10 days before eliminating another pharmaceutical. If it proves that I do not need chemicals, I would prefer MMJ.

As long as I am not impaired mentally and it helps physically, seems like a good treatment for MS symptoms.

And if I can do it quickly by vaping or deliciously with a brownie, it will be good for my lifestyle.

And if it is a mood changer in a positive way? not a minus. DH and I love a good glass of red wine. I like a fruity margarita or a coffee and kahlua every once in a while. Alcohol is not a gateway drug for me.
