Why did you start smoking cannabis?

[Smelierjoint]

Hey man I kno what chronic pain feels like cause I have been diagnosed with it and feel yea I say if you can stay away from the narcotics like the stuff that gets you addicted and stay with weed you will benfit more from cannabis more 100%

I have understood from what you have written that you also suffer from chronic pain mate. I know what that is like and i have been living with chronic pain for around 20 years of my life so far.

I do try to avoid the synthetic drugs as much as i can but at those times when it is hard to get my hands on cannabis or when a grow busts i got no other option than using them.
Must say that i have a better sense of well being when i use less of the painkillers prescribed and just use more cannabis.

been having issues with my lungs so might go towards the edibles but I'll smoke till the end

Why not try to vape your weed instead of smoking it?
I vape my weed and i must say that it tastes a lot better (i know personal opinion) and i don't feel that it hit my lungs so hard anymore. Another advantage is that you don't combust the weed you just heat it up which in the end will benefit your lungs as well.

Must have been 13 or 14 tiny lump of hash between 4 friends in some bushes by the park, we all had to sit down for a while . Unfortunately where I live we don't get any flower so it's always been hash, up until the first lockdown that is when I decided to start growing my own, and thanks to GR420 it's been a breeze

Started at 17. Always a square kid and drugs were a no to me. Obviously weed at school was in the drug talks as tbe devils drug to lead you on to worse things but I couldn't understand how a plant could be in that group.
Wanted to try had opportunity to so did.

Now a 35 year old mother of 2 a d not a crack head so don't think what that were telling us at school was quite right.

I'm a total recreational smoker and always have been its only now I've really looked at is as a medicine too

oh nice so your like that cool hippie mom now ;)
And ya the whole gate way thing was probally a lie from the truth that cannabis makes all feel better and brings everyone together

Hippy mum is about right chilled out and only stress the big stuff if really needed

I started smoking it as a teen, then when I met my misses, I quit because when she's stoned, she never shuts up, whereas I like to sit n chill, watch tv n listen to music. Then a mate got me onto growing for her, then I had a mental breakdown and was diagnosed with general anxiety disorder, got prescribed meds that robbed me of my personality, used hash to get off the meds, learned THC Bud triggers my anxiety but CBD bud and extracts doesn't so now I smoke hash, extracts, CBD Bud, eat edibles but grow bud for my misses.

But he doesnt and dint want me to get pain killers he didnt want me to get addicted that's when seeing the time docters where getting bad feed back from giving patient pain killers ... he would yell me it's all in my head I threatened him to throw him up on the wall .... sometimes people dont understand that just because you cant see the problem doesnt mean it's there I also have severe impingement of the scapula which when u rotate my arm you litterly can hear it snap along my ribcage very hard which in returns bruises my bones .... showed him after he said that and was oh it's in my head eh !! I was fen pissed and felt deafeated ... I do take pre gabapentin now iys like lyrica I dont know if you have heard of it but I have to take it every day before bed and if I dont I wake up in so much pain my body goes into shock and I start puking.. I have vaped before and its definitely alot smother I just cant stand the smell of it afterwards it's so wierd the smell ....

Your situation sounds truly horrific to say the least mate. Yeah i have had my share of battles with a few doctors as well where some didn't believe i had pain at all and some just meant that i should try this and that medication just for the fun of it to see if it would help in my situation. Just told them that i wasn't their personal ginny pig that they could do experiments on just to see if medication had any effect and what the side effects would do to me.

In order to be able to fight when you are sick you need to be healthy as fuck is what i have learned from all of this.

Stay positive mate, that is what i try to do since it does help somewhat.

Yea they did the same to me with anxciety meds or stuff to help me sleep cause I dont sleep mong and wake up several times they gave me this stuff one time that apparently knock out a horse well needless to say I still woke up and was so out of it walled into my door frame and split my eye lid right open I also was on tramadol but that stuff would make me messed up for days yeah staying positive helps I think pain gets better when you know your limits and how to manage it better with relaxation, knowing your limits mediation hobbies that help you relax breathing exercises stuff like that

I get anxiety-induced insomnia too. What I find works amazingly is lie in bed with your eyes shut, and visualize drawing numbers in wet sand with a stick. Visualizing uses a part of your brain that is linked with dreaming so you will fall asleep quite quickly. I don't ever remember getting to 3 it works that well.

I don't have anxiety in any way but i do suffer from insomnia due to my pain and nothing i have tried helps besides vaping weed and lots of it just before i go to bed. By doing that i at least get 2-3 hours of sleep each night. If i don't do weed before going to bed i can just forget sleeping all together.
Sometimes i have to get up at night and vape some more weed to be able to at least rest somewhat. Chronic pain sucks man...
