Medibles ONLY or a bit of both worlds?

I am looking to hear from those who suffer from pain daily.
Are you ONLY using medibles or do you switch things around?


I am a 40+ y.o chronic pain patient who has had about 6 surgery's in the last 20 years + suffers from chronic undiagnosed and several times misdiagnosed from scheuermann's syndrome to just having R.A (have been looking for a treatment for 20 years on spent gobs of cash with and without insurance.) had shoulder surgery and currently need shoulder surgery.


I have had 20 years of legit rx's from alieve to fentanl patches.
I like anyone who has undergone a chronic pain treatment classes knows that you are going to be moved from one painkiller to another.
The are going to be needing antidepressants/insomnia meds and who knows what else (f your on the narcos more then a year your are going to suffer some sort of intestinal distress.. )

I have lost a lot due to the RX industry and within the last 2 years feel like I am getting a hold of what 20 years of RX's has done to me ONLY due to this GOD SEND.... Cannabis

so my current scheduled is
taking capsules (made of olive oil -cannabis) about 30 pills a day
then periodically thru the day I will smoke.
I usually am up by 5am (retired/disabled) taking about 10 canna caps in the am this will last till about 10-11am then I will smoke less then 1g till about noon then either use the pills or smoke

I do like to have a smoke later in the night as this seems to be the fastest and (actually most relaxing) my tolerance is very high needing 2-4g's per day to feel like I am normal and ok to move around.

I know there is a major outcry for more "Pain Relieving" pot and less psycho active pot.
Which I really thing is a great thing. I think way to many folks are using this as a way to get high and (yeah thats ok.. is you are smart enuf not to act like a total dill hole on camera or in person) but too many folks are using this like alcohol and then trying to say it's medicinal.

no one is taking the medicinal pot seriously with all the idiots out there it's flat out giving US who NEED this as med a bad rap. THO it's harmless (for the most part)

my fear and concerns are this plant will not be legalized until it is users are taking seriously.

Would you listen to those who drink beer and say it's MEDICINAL???? NO (tho it's proven to have bennies as is all booze) and other items like UH........ LSD... these will not be a serious option till the KIDS stop acting like KIDS with the meds..

/pushes self off soap box

gioua-

I'm very sorry to hear about your pain, that truly sucks! Someday the 'kids' on the block will 'get old'...then they might discover what PAIN is really all about. In this insane world of pills and improper FDA approvals....cannabis is STILL the sanest choice. I personally tailor my meds by harvest. Not many amber trichs and mostly cloudy w/some clear make up my 'daytime' edibles ingredients. Mostly amber w/some cloudy make up my 'nighttime' edibles. I favor the sustained release of well made edibles over vaping (I don't smoke), as that will carry me for 3-4 hours. And that's about how long Percocet was effective for, then a sharp dropoff. I have bottles of percs, vics and others around as a reminder... of how bad they truly are to me. Did they work? Sometimes, for a short while. Did I hate them? Yes. So my existing pill supply is only a visual reminder to me that I love MaryJane, and she loves me back. Pain really does ruin your life, as it takes over and that's all you can think about/focus on. Do my edibles take away all of my pain? No. But they DO allow me to forget about or lose focus on my pain albeit for a shortwhile. But I'm at least still productive (but relaxed), aware and in control.

Take care my friend-

I have Common Variable Immune Deficiency I hurt all the time. Joints, muscles feet, back hands. Its always something. I was on so many pain relievers, anti-inflammatory oxy's, patches it all makes me stupid and mean after a while. I still occasionally need other meds but for the most part MJ gets me through the day. I wish I never need either one. But I do and MJ helps with less side effects than anything else.

Vaporization/combustion works best for me. I have to take an extremely high dose of edibles for it to be effective for my ailments (Arthritis, Ulcerative Colitis). IDK why, I think it's because I digest things very quickly + a high tolerance to just about any drug
