Well, I have chronic pain (I sit on my ass all day long with a heating pad on my neck and back), and I need help with my appetite (I’ve lost 40 lb in the last year, not because of HIV/AIDS, but because I have massive thickening in the folds of my stomach).
I need help. My doc doesn’t want to prescribe tramadol any more (he doesn’t want to prescribe any controlled substance), and I’m at a loss to find something to help me eat (long story).
So, I’m open to using cannabis. I’ve spent a lot of time researching it and I’m willing to try. I toked a lot for a couple of years in the early 70’s and it really messed up my grades because I was stoned all the time. I don’t ever want to be like that again, but I feel like I’m boxed into a corner.
Are you addicted to opioids?
You should get some of the hemp extract pills. CBD without the THC stoner effect.
When I get stressed or have some arm pain - I pulled a muscle or tendon a few years ago - one CBD knocks the blood pressure down ten point and eases the arm pain. No stoning effect at all.
