What kind of pain relief to you find?
Wife says the normal stuff helps with muscle pain but not the disc back pain.
i find the weed thats got super old while stored properly to be the best stuff for back pain. Like a year or two old. Stuff with naturally aged in CBN. I find that to be the best stuff for edibles for pain as well. it wont get ya all blasted like fresh stuff, but its warm, comfy, and smiley. Great for back pain and sleeping comfortably.
Let her try your overcooked budder, bet she'll like it for her disc pain. But be aware, thinking there is any cannabinoids that treat that kind of pain super effectively is to lie to yourself a bit. Pain from inflammation and tension is one thing, pain from physical damage, cannabis really just seems to change my relationship to the experience of that kind of pain, it doesnt do much of anything about my bulging discs, theyre still theyre, still bulging and will continue to do so unfortunately.
On days im struggling to move around because of it, i take kratom because it actually treats the disc pain. And thats something i dont recommend someone start doing either. I can smoke a bowl and force myself up and doing stuff. But it doesnt do anything about the pain unless i get myself so blasted on edibles im useless either way hahahaha.
Stoners are positive people that love their plant, but its unfortunately not the be all end all for pain. My mom would probably be on opiates without it, but it still doesnt treat her pain directly. Her spine is basically held together by steel at this point though. I dont think its the cannabis keeping her off painkillers, its her stubborn southern attitude doing that.
some uncommon honesty:
The people who say cannabis is great for back pain, are the people with sore lower back muscles, not bulging and slipped discs in my own personal, real world and direct experience. Even the best strains i have for my back pain simply change my internal opinion of the pain temporarily, they dont treat the pain directly at all. It is very much still there directly affecting my daily life. Mom's too. Cannabis does not make the spasms that suck the air out of my lungs and bring me to my literal knees on the verge of tears, then vanish as quickly as they popped up any less intense or infrequent. It doesnt do anything at all for that, not that ive personally noticed, or that anyone i know personally, in my day to day life, with similar issues has noticed. When there is legitimate, phsyical damage to your spine. Your options are genuinely just : Suck it up and stay stoned, take pain meds, or have surgery and continue sucking it up and smoking, or taking pain meds. And it sucks, but it is what it is.
Hi, im the local blunt-truth guy, i think. No weed pun intended.
