My first experience (in the last 17yrs)

[staloffn]

So last night i finally went for it. The best i have felt in a year by far. Now i may have over done it a bit and i`m not sure it was the best option in regards to thc/cbd(or is it cdb) ratio but :rof: who cares!
the real test is this morning. i have been really bad in the evenings and mornings and i must say it has without a doubt slowed things down and formed things up some.
i am impressed thus far and was able to genuinely enjoy myself and my wife last night which has been very difficult this last yr. i hope that today i stay feeling as i do now. the best feeling morning in so long, i am elated.
my only regret is all my sports teams lost which is what we should all be fortunate enough to have as our biggest disappointment.

Congratulations on giving cannabis a try. For some people it can be hard to accept it really is a medicine because of all the stigma and propaganda that has been perpetrated for the past few decades. Sometimes it's just difficult to get and people aren't sure if the trouble and expenses are worth it.

I'm happy to hear you're doing well on it. To maximize it's effciency, try vaporizing/smoking/eating small doses throughout the day and one bigger dose before bed.

It is hard to accept and i agree. i`ve been debating with myself since march about it. never been into it for myself. i am astounded by the results and thankful to you for explaining so much to me in our pm messages. i had finally talked to a dr. that can prescribe here and he recommended i try it before spending all the money to get into the system and it made me feel it was finally ok to do it. Dr. recommended you know.
I literally went from 6-10 times/day visiting the bathroom to 1!! there is room for improvement for sure but yesterday was the best day i have had in a year and i feel pretty stellar this morning. i was just thinking how grateful i am to all the people (esp. from this forum) who helped me become informed.. i am feeling very optimitsic and a bit emotional after a long year of suffering. i sure hope things continue this way.

I hope your story will become more common as information spreads and physicians get familiar with the latest literature and some views change.

Don't be afraid to experiment with different strains and see how they affect you. A vaporizer would be a good investment as well, it will preserve your lungs and eliminate 80% of the harmful byproducts you usually find in smoke.

that's just fantastic, Staloffn! Congratulations. I hope things continue to get better for you

So, a few days later.. last tues me eye lid was bothering me. turns out i had a chalazion (infected oil gland on the lid) i was put on amoxicillan and it totally messed everything up. i also think that the new mj i have isn`t nearly as potent as it barely is taking the edge off. saw the dr. yesterday for a recheck and said i could stop the anti biotic so hopefully in a couple days i`ll get back on track. i just hope that the potency of the current mj is sufficient to get me back to good. having a few good days is such a tease and i`m a bit worried since i got so bad, so quick that the quality change might be an issue. i`m so very new to this that i just don`t know if its the lack of quality or if the anti biotic was just too much on me when i was just doing better for a few days. all the changes happened the same day. I guess we`ll see.
any thoughts?

In my experience different strains work differently. In my state I have the luxury of either growing my own or going to a store with 30+ strains. I've found that indica dominant strains work the best for me.

Sounds like it worked for you the first time but the new stuff you got isn't doing the job? Are you in a medical state?

 

[staloffn]

That does seem to be the case. think that and the anti biotic combined. I am in a medical state but was advised by the dr. to just try it out to see how it worked for me before spending the money to get a card. he said all his patients already knew it worked for them before going through the process($565 for dr, 200 registration, and 450 to 550/oz.) so my current options and control is a bit limited. i did just try something a little different last night which seems to be a bit better. but it was a small sampling so we`ll see how it works out for me today. i need to get a more consistent flow of mj to really make it work but the situation isn`t ideal to access it. miss how i felt those first three days. feel like i`m so close... like the dream you can just barely remember when you wake up.
