From a sports medicine clinic full of MDs that recommend it now to their patients that have chronic pain due to sports injuries, to a bunch of NDs that prescribe it to cancer patients and others with serous pain management issues, to the many people I personally know that have had success with it for everything from chronic colitis to seizures, and more, I would say from firsthand experience it is overwhelmingly positive as a way to manage chronic pain.
Never mind that it has been part of the pharmacopoeia of pain management for close to 5000 years of human history...
There are strains that are high cbd like Charlotte's Web that are very low thc like Baddog recommends. There does seem to be a harmonic relationship to the way that thc works in concert with cbd so pure cbd and zero thc may be less effective than something with at least some thc.  |
OH man thanks, see I hate the feeling of a weed high. I hate having to eat and the pass out. Yes when I ate the weed it helped with my pain 90% to 100% but was that because I was high? *shrugs* So if I can find something like this without the full body high I would get off the narc's I have to have just to get up out of bed. My pain is so freaking bad that I stopped taking all my narc's for 3 weeks it was really bad the withdraws were like nothing I have ever had but I could NOT get out of bed for 3 months 3 fucking months.
So the end of month 3 I started taking my pills again but at a lower dose,, found out that my doctor the fucking wacko Dr. Walingford Hampton Va was over dosing me.
What I was on, 180 mgs of morphine, 120 mgs of hydrocodine aka vic. and 30 mgs of oxycotin. When I got off my pills I went to a rehab due to my heart problems. The doctors all said how the hell did you even walk? They don't give that much pain meds to dying cancer pt.
Long story short. Found out that many pain pills was causing more pain then helping. After 8 years on them and the last 4 years on that high of a dose. *shrugs* It sucks and now I never ever want to get back that high on pain pills I only take 45 mgs of oxy's a day 1 30 mgs in the am, then 15 mgs mid day plus ONLY 20 mgs of vic for break through pain.
I WANT OFF ALL narc's I am and have been looking online for anything I can find that will at least take the edge off the pain I deal with. *shrugs* Now ya know my struggles and with my cancer and 3 heart attacks it is NOT easy thing to find new ways because of my past and present health problems.
