Seeing a doctor for medical marijuana - 2 years and a week out


[Be...]

Recommended Posts

Hi all,

 

Neck and back pain along with muscle pain just will not go away. I have an appt. next week with my doctor who had told me she would prescribe medical mj as soon as it became legal. It is legal now in Florida.

 

I know all about the difference between THC and CBD so I will go for very low dose to no THC.

 

What are your thoughts on this? Has anyone had luck with medical mj?

 

Thanks,

If OTC ointments containing capsaicin have worked to help alleviate pain in your back/neck, then CBD could be effective.  They work on the same pain receptor.

 

Often, neck/back pain is a by-product of anxiety.  Cannabis may have a beneficial effect on your anxiety which might translate to less pain.  But that's harder to know with certainty.  Cannabis can exacerbate anxiety in some people.  From my experience, people with significant health anxiety or significant fears regarding their personal safety tend to make poor cannabis patients. 

 

Obviously, the best course of action is to find and deal with the root cause of your pain.

 

There is an active CBD and cannabis thread, fwiw.  http://www.benzobuddies.org/forum/index.php?topic=165140.0

I was using weed for pain for awhile and worked great although my brain chemistry wasnt good enough yet and put me in a bad headspace.

I used non medical marijuana and hemp cbd  two weeks straight last June July

 

It  worked for pain ,but thc amped anxiety and paranoia cbd alleviated it

 

On nights that I had no benzo chemical insomnia I slept like a log.

 

Your lucky to have a doctor willing to give you a recommendation
