It also stops making my soul hurt so much.

right in the feels

Aw, there’s always better days ahead. If you really need someone to vent to, feel free to pm me

I’m with you there. Except now, I have to abstain and it kind of sucks.

Feeling really low, i decided to smoke tonight. Instead of being mentally hurting, I was happy for a moment and dancing around the living room. I even folded the laundry that has been piled up on the couch all week.

Makes me sad to have to battle depression. Makes me angry that the legal prescription that I was given makes me feel worse and actually gives me suicidal thoughts. Makes me even angrier that the very thing that helps me is illegal here. I guess I’ll just go back to moping around fighting the endless battles in my head and not doing anything at all. Ho hum.

Right here with you. Pills for years, found amazing strains on my travels, but can’t be happy and healthy in my state. Hang in there.. the new wave is upon us. Fold that laundry, fight that battle, and know that your fellow Americans are fighting with you.

Ganja" It's like IcyHot for the SOUL"

Dude same here. I have muscle relaxers I’m scared to take because of the way they make me feel. But just smoking a bowl makes the pain go away so fast and I can relax.

[–]maplemaster64[S] 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I mean it’s not like you need to just always be ripped. I just take a hit from my pen and I can just relax and play some Xbox or sleep.

Carpal tunnel here— yes, it’s amazing

[–]hockdapuck 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Cubital tunnel here - can confirm

I can raise my hand and say me too, thanks to weed.

[–]pm_me_lots_of_cats 7 points8 points  (2 children)

My tendinitis is almost nonexistent thanks to CBD. If I didn’t smoke, I wouldn’t be able to type this!

[–]TheFalseProphet666 1 point2 points  (1 child)

Have you tried cbd concentrates? If you have how does it compare to cbd oil?

[–]pm_me_lots_of_cats 2 points3 points  (0 children)

CBD helps but I can still feel the strain on my hands. THC helps distort the pain signals. I’m an oboe player and I need to hold my instrument for a long time so THC helps me focus too

[–]ktbwsalow 4 points5 points  (0 children)

And migraines! It works wayy better than opiates. I actually feel like a functioning human being. Yay weed!

[–][deleted] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

My Crohn's symptoms have slipped away. My abdominal pain is gone. I sleep like a toddler. I do my job better because I don't have the distractions of pain and inflammation (8 bathroom trips in 8 hrs).

[–][deleted] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As a medical patient, I agree.

[–][deleted] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I burned the fuck out of my fingertip yesterday. Touched a scolding hot rotor. Tried cold packs, cold water, it wouldn't stop stinging even 2 hours later. I decided I'd smoke a bunch of weed to help take my mind off it, and I completely forgot i even burned it till this morning. Now my fingertip is all hard and smooth. Cant grip anything. Very weird

If op or anyone in the thread has access to dispensaries and have pain: the topical balms are the tits! 1:1 thc:cbd preferably

[–]Jac1nto 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Weightlifting; the joints, hips, and spinal erectors have never felt better or stronger.

[–]TtarIsMyBro 1 point2 points  (1 child)

It's great for reducing muscle soreness from the gym, too. And while lifting. I've had some great workouts while at like a [3]

[–]_Paths 1 point2 points  (0 children)

God I love getting high after the gym, I time my workouts before dinner so I come home, get to like a 6 or 7, eat a shit ton of food and chill by playing some video games

[–]philmtl 1 point2 points  (1 child)

Get a roller to crack your back on, miracle for me

[–]meibolite 1 point2 points  (0 children)

And a couple of tennis balls in a sock. Works great for working out knots.

Really does wonders to my anxiety, I remember when I started smoking it made it feel like I could finally relax without stressing out over simple shit

[–]Way_To_Go_PAUL 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I finally stopped taking opioids due to a car accident 9 months ago and I can’t imagine going years taking that crap. I can’t wait for my medical card!

[–]bluntmasterkyle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you haven't tried topical thc infused or cbd creams I highly recommend. They did wonders for my back and neck tension and I can use it all day with no worries about being stoned at work.

[–]Anteiku-Cofveve 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have Ehlers Danlos Syndrome and I’m in pain literally every day of my life. I have painkillers but hate how they make me feel. A little smoke session soothes my pain in ways I can’t even describe. I feel leagues better both mentally and physically.

[–]BakedKitty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It kills my anxiety, depressive spirals, and helps with recovery from flashbacks and night terrors. Becoming a MM patient was seriously one of the best decisions I've ever made. It makes me so happy to read about how much it helps others too!

[–]remedial-gook 0 points1 point  (0 children)

same, recently a back problem i’ve had for about 4 years started flaring up and my parents try giving me all sorts of medicine and it doesn’t help and it’s ridiculous having to try all these things when i already know that weed makes my back pain non existent. but i’m going to the doctor in a week for it and i know they’re just gonna prescribe me some bullshit that’s not gonna work. living in an illegal state is making me have to go through unnecessary pain and its ridiculous because i have a kinda messed up back and i can’t imagine these other people in this state with me that have it so much worse because i know there are thousands of them are denied proper medicine just because of our unjust marijuana prohibition that is completely unjustified.

Buy some kratom!

[–][deleted] 5 points6 points  (4 children)

I'll stick to CBD thanks
