Had a laminectomy done on C1, so technically had back surgery too.:D

For pain management, capsules of cannabis oil have been my only treatment for over 3 years. I made tincture with bubble hash, but prefer the capsules for convenience and their long duration. Having a vape pen loaded with shatter is convenient for BTP, BreakThroughPain.

I think the woman who ran my last MRIs was totally onto me ghosting vape hits in the bathroom between positions. The whole sesh took a few hours and I was having a bad pain day, so she was really cool about it. She did say she was amazed how still I was throughout, and the fact I fell asleep twice even with all the banging noise :D

My technique is to go totally Zen zone, look inward for peace while the banging goes on. Full cranio-spinal with and w/o contrast takes about 5-6 hours. They offered meds but I pushed for git-r-done style, let me out of this place!

Cool that you can help your comfort with vaping. Maybe a couple hundred mgs of all CBD oil would help too.

yeah, he was laid up in his bed for a few days. I think he said about every 3 hrs he was dosing.

I should qualify my comment about taking hits in the hospital, it's a legal state and a well known cannabis pain study was conducted 2 floors up in the same place. Your mileage may vary!

I haven't made HS with much CBD yet, but one of my Wilmas just tested at 22/4.7 and I have some lower buds to extract. I also just scored a few high CBD cuts from a friend. The store bought cannatonic oil I got made me sleepy when I vaped it, and I used it mostly to avoid anxiousness along with high dosing other oil for BTP. The price is double or more in dispensaries here, and I'm a poor farmer who has to make my own due to quantity used.
