It'd be interesting to experience a "high", though it was never my main intention. Pain relief, and help with loss of appetite and nausea brought on by the meds I'm taking are where I need help. So far haven't found much help via MM. If I take enough tincture to improve appetite it tends to make me unsteady on my feet - I can't risk a fall. No MM has helped the pain so far. I'm continuing to experiment re appetite improvement in relation to dose and timing - maybe I'll get there eventually. :)Twilighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14138621610593773784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16659850.post-2713733013180395362019-08-23T12:43:03.339-05:002019-08-23T12:43:03.339-05:00You're not likely to get 'high' on MM,...You're not likely to get 'high' on MM, it contains much less THC than the recreational variety and is mainly CBD, which has a more 'medicinal' quality. If you want to get high you'll need to nip across the border to Colorado where the recreational stuff is legal, but don't get stopped at the border on your return! ;-)<br />Taking it easy is probably a good idea and the pot will certainly help you do that.<br />RJ.R J Adamsnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16659850.post-48923207439417406892019-08-23T09:14:01.146-05:002019-08-23T09:14:01.146-05:00Don't know what you're vaping, but some MM...Don't know what you're vaping, but some MM is very low or no THC, but high in other cannabinols & terpenes. I'd go for a strain with high THC and cannabinols. If you know your dispensary's inventory, read up online before buying. I agree with RJ: smoking is best. Two tokes of a high grade strain can do it. Here are two sites to use as strain references.<br />allbud.com<br />leafly.comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16659850.post-89242551084696913792019-08-22T17:56:27.432-05:002019-08-22T17:56:27.432-05:00RJ Adams ~ Thank you for asking RJ. :) I'm ...RJ Adams ~ Thank you for asking RJ. :) I'm okay in general - all things considered, but I think the medical marijuana has been making me lazy. I've been mainly in reading-only mode for a while. Am unsure whether the medical marijuana is doing much that's useful. I haven't experienced any uptick in appetite or lessening of pain when walking - none that I could point to with certainty as being a result of MM anyway. Plenty of zzzs, no highs or other effects so far. A bit disappointing, because it ain't cheap! I must be doing it wrong!Twilighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14138621610593773784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16659850.post-13134811105624726302019-08-19T03:08:02.192-05:002019-08-19T03:08:02.192-05:00How are you doing, Twilight?

I think the medical and recreational are more or less the same stuff - perhaps some blends are just labelled more exactly to fit the healing/medical effects buyers seek. <br /><br />I bought a cupcake with added ingredient yesterday, ate it half at a time. It was a very nice cupcake, but it sent me to sleep through a big chunk of the evening's TV viewing! :)<br /><br />I shall be careful with the vaping, it's likely to have an even more direct effect, one secondary to actually smoking it, I suppose.Twilighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14138621610593773784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16659850.post-36721634223588172702019-08-13T11:45:29.909-05:002019-08-13T11:45:29.909-05:00Wisewebwoman ~ I'm still experimenting - only ...Wisewebwoman ~ I'm still experimenting - only effect so far has been experiencing more general sleepiness - and sleeping longer. Nothing has happened that could be described as "a high", or "euphoric"; pain relief hasn't happened yet either. I still have to give "vaping" a trial run - later today - I bought the vaping equipment yesterday. I'll carry on with the tincture tiny drop by tiny drop under tongue. :)Twilighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14138621610593773784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16659850.post-79113890967661186282019-08-12T10:48:31.804-05:002019-08-12T10:48:31.804-05:00At least you got the card so you'll be able to...At least you got the card so you'll be able to experiment until you find what's right for you. I don't know if MM is the same as the 'recreational' stuff, but if so the oil is supposed to be quite powerful. I found smoking the best way to regulate intake as its effect is almost immediate, but then that was weed. Using hash in brownies (or any other way to get it into the stomach) can take time to have an effect and can make you feel a bit panicky if you've used a bit too much. It's not so easy to regulate the amount. Oh, dear, I feel like a pusher advising a buyer in a back alley! I can't get used to the stuff being legal. It's taken all the fun out of it! ;-)R J Adamshttps://sparrowchat.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16659850.post-54915634059281829402019-08-12T08:15:42.701-05:002019-08-12T08:15:42.701-05:00I do hope you find relief with the experimentation...I do hope you find relief with the experimentation. So glad you got your card. I find CBD helps me but not as much as I'd like. I tend to overdo my mobility so I do take some of the responsibility on myself. Yesterday for instance I overused my spoons completely. So suffering today.<br /><br />The radiation is causing secondary distress but hopefully that soon, too, will be alleviated.<br /><br />XO<br />WWWWisewebwomanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15281689872840844191noreply@blogger.com
