[Vi...] Posted April 15, 2018 Share Posted April 15, 2018 Thank you aurora to writing me back. I don't really see any suggestions on a bottle. Is from SpectrumCannabis Is say hybrid <1 mg/ml THC and 20 mg/ml CBD yellow 10mg/ml THC and 15 mg/ml CBD blue I take 0.2 mg yellow for day and 0.2mg yellow and 0.1 mg blue for night. I have no knowledge about CBD or THC. I never used them before. Any suggestions welcome. I will go slowly higher. Doctor told me every 3-4 day I can go 0.2 mg higher. What do you think? What is the large dose? Vica Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest [ba...] Posted April 16, 2018 Share Posted April 16, 2018 0.2 mg is a very very low dose. Are you sure it's that amount?? and not 0.2 ml or 2.0 mg. I usually tell people to start around 5 mg which is still a very low dose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ss I've not seen a lot of info for using cannabis as a general muscle relaxant except in some specific nervous disorders (e.g. MS). I guess if you get yourself totally catatonic, your muscles would be pretty relaxed, but I don't think that's what you're talking about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im referring to tight muscle contractions hue to withdrawal......any experience with this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest [ba...] Posted April 16, 2018 Share Posted April 16, 2018 I certainly had a lot of tight muscles during my withdrawal. Head, neck and back were the worst for me, although my legs were often pretty sore/tight too. I didn't think that cannabis helped with that very much (maybe others will share a different experience). I tried to combat the tightness by doing full body relaxation meditation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This tail end is all physical for me and all the body relaxation, mindfulness, acupuncture, massage are minimally effective. How long once off for you to feel improvement in this area?

[do...] Posted April 17, 2018 Share Posted April 17, 2018 I had been trying some cbd oil for a couple weeks. It was taking the edge off for some problems I was having. I was pleasantly surprised. I had been holding off buying some, cause I wanted a reputable source. My Dr began selling it about a month ago. I figured it was all on the up and up... So I went to do my own drug screen as with a fake name for myself, and baam, positive for thc! The bottle says 100 % THC free. Now I want to stop using it. But it was helpful. I can't be having a positive drug screen. Anyone ever test themselves? Very disappointed. I Iive in a non MM state. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep - it was just constant tightness. I don't know if I'd call it "severe" in my case as there were other symptoms that gave me more hassle, but it definitely hurt all the time. I think that I was through the worst of it at about the three month mark (after jumping). I'm fairly athletic for an old geezer, and that may have reduced the muscle hassles somewhat.

We get samples in the lab regularly where somebody is claiming THC-free. It never is (THC-free) although it's usually well beneath the federal cut-off of 0.3%. But we also get samples that people 'think' are CBD and they turn out to be loaded with THC. There's a lot of mis-labelling in the industry, and a lot of "reputable" resellers take short-cuts with their testing. I remember contacting one Colorado firm that claims their product has all of the natural terpenes. But they don't actually test for terpenes, so how would they know??? fwiw - are you sure that your home drug screen can distinguish between THC and CBD??

[do...] Posted April 17, 2018 Share Posted April 17, 2018 I had them do a THC test only. Hopefully that is what they tested for. It is a local lab that some employers and courts use. I figured there would be some THC show up, just not enough to make it positive. It was 29ng/ml . THC - positive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please tell the doctor who gave this to you. I'm guessing (hoping) that he doesn't know what he's handing out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[Ly...] Posted April 17, 2018 Share Posted April 17, 2018 I am soon ready to try a local dispensary in PA and need some advice, please. I just don't know where to begin to suggest anything to them. I need desperate help with: 1. sleep [very poor as most of you are] 2. burning skin [sEVERE] and nerve pain 3. nausea [chronic] 4. anxiety [from all the distressing withdrawal symptoms. never had anxiety before all this mess started] Any suggested strains, etc. would be most appreciated. Thank you so much LynnM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[or...] Posted April 17, 2018 Share Posted April 17, 2018 Lynn, here's what works for me for sleep and nausea (I had a lot of nausea during my taper, not so much now) as well as nerve pain. I use a tincture that I make myself of a high THC indica. NOT a sativa. Sativas get you high -- indicas don't. I'm not fussy about the strain -- whatever the dispensary has is okay for my needs. Right now I'm using Ogre. The last batch I made up was from Gorilla Glue and the batch before that was OG Kush. You can do a little reading -- just Google something like "best indica for insomnia" and you'll get suggestions. Or ask at your dispensary. I only use it at night as it does make me so relaxed and a little fuzzy in my head that I doubt I could drive. I use 3 or 4 drops in a bit of cranberry juice and about 90 minutes later I feel verrrry relaxed indeed. Then I just drift off to sleep. I usually get an attack of the munchies also, which is good as I lost a lot of weight during my taper. Marijuana has a long half-life so I am sure some of the benefits extend into the daytime. Especially the nerve pain/tingling benefits. So that's my experience. Hope it helps you. Oh, if you want my "recipe" I can PM it to you. (Badsocref helped me with this, bless him!) I start with 7 grams of flower bud and my tincture lasts for about 6 months. Pretty economical! Katz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you so much LynnM You'll have to see what they offer. I'd ask them for their best couch-lock strain (to help with your sleep). I think most strains will help with nausea. Anxiety is a tricky one. Some people get a little paranoid when they do cannabis and that won't help with the anxiety. So just try a little at first and see how you do. Be willing to try a few different strains with different cannabinoid and terpene profiles. A good dispensary will have that info available (you may have to request it to see it).

[He...] Posted April 17, 2018 Share Posted April 17, 2018 Hi Lynn, I'm also in PA and a friend of mine has her MMJ card. I still have to go through the process. I'm not sure if you've joined the facebook group for PA, but it's pretty active. Also, it seems that the supply here is pretty limited right now. There is something like one grower for all of PA although this is set to change in the next couple of months. I'm also interested in what people reply with and what you find that helps you! Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you so much LynnM Lynn, Please do share how you make out. I am in NJ which I think is in a pretty similar place as PA in terms of being limited with what is available. I just made an appt. with a dr. for later this month so don't know how quickly I can get through the process, which seems onerous (four visits, which will set me back $500 alone, then apply for the card). I really, really need relief from nausea. I am totally losing it with being nauseous day in and out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[An...] Posted April 24, 2018 Share Posted April 24, 2018 My mother is 71 years old. It is 5 years since she discontinued Mogadon (benzodiazepine). She sleeps very little at night. Only 1 to max 3 hours. The reason is that she has so much cramps throughout the muscles. When she goes to bed, she has to get up after 10 minutes to get rid of the cramps. She has had it like that for 5 years. Therefore, we see no other way out than trying out Sativex (medical cannabis). We hope it will help her with all the spasticity and cramps. Her doctor also agrees that we try medical cannabis and he has written a prescription for this medicine to my mother. She will start with the medicine in a few weeks.
