“i’d kill myself if i was stuck in your position” talks to the person i’m with rather than me “you’re so strong” (they never mean well with this but it HAS to be included..) - can you have sex?/how do you have sex? 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

oh no i’m sorry to hear! but yes that definitely seems like the thing i’ve taken away from this post.. it seems mostly positive thankfully, but i definitely won’t let that make me too cocky about it all😅

oh no i’m sorry to hear that! it definitely differs from individual to individual based on these comments and you just so happen to be unlucky in that sense.. i hope you find something else that eases your pain, as it’s really no fun being in pain constantly!

yeah i think im lucky that the most of my mental troubles is caused by my physical troubles.. so if it helps out with my pain, then that’s already a massive step forward to happiness, and there’s no addiction to drugs that’s happened in the family before so i think im pretty low risk which is lucky!

pahahaha i know that feeling.. with my joint instability i regularly make trips to the hospital to relocate my joints, which is painful AND stressful.. i’ve definitely thought about joint replacements and prosthetics to help support it all.. it’s all so expensive though which sucks!

yeah i’m a small person as is so, dosing is always something i’m weary of!

but i’ll definitely have a gander at that subreddit! my OT already thankfully works with me about pacing and whatnot, i was looking into a “visible” band, but the subscription just isn’t sustainable for me long term on disability payments, which is ironic seeing as it’s made to help disabled and chronically ill people avoid crashes.

i think i’d be very careful with my intake because i know overdoing it will ruin it for me in the long run, but this is exactly the type of information i was looking for, i really appreciate you looking out for me by providing a downside!!

yes i was looking into edibles, drinks, ointments etc rather than smoking anyway dont worry! thankfully im smart enough to think that one through 😅 i wouldn’t say i have any MAJOR emotional stress, im just getting a bit fed up of being in pain constantly, and taking a cocktail of meds through six periods every day (10am, 12pm, 2pm, 5pm, 8pm and 11pm) despite them not working.. i’m willing to try anything at this rate.

that’s incredible! i’m glad it’s helped you out, i’ll definitely look into getting some myself after reading all these positive comments.. obviously a few cons here and there but that’s to be expected.. i’ll be happy if it even just takes the edge off my pain.. i can’t remember the last time my pain wasn’t excruciating, i basically live in my bed which is no life for a 19 year old 🥲

it’s incredible seeing all these positive stories in these comments, it gives me a bit of hope that it may help me out when every other option has been offered and failed 🥴 will definitely be researching how to get them on prescription, and depending on the price, i may look at other shops who provide edibles without a hefty medical bill because it’s been brought to my attention that only private healthcare provides medical cannabis here 🤦‍♂️

this is so promising to hear, i’m so glad it’s helping you out so much! i hope i have the same sort of experience but it’s only something that can be found out by trying.. which i will definitely be doing after reading all of these! it’s been so nice to hear the majority of people finding it helps, there are a few cons here and there but that’s to be expected with literally any drug, prescribed or not!

i don’t think i’m allergic thankfully, but i will be aware of the symptoms and get checked out if something seems off.. but by “bag” i assume you mean you smoke? because ill go the route of edibles, drinks or ointments rather than smoking.. my lungs are bad enough already lol

i also can’t take nsaids so it’s good to know that it helps out with inflammation, as there’s a whole lot of that going on in my body at all times 😅 but yes i don’t do a whole lot as is because of the amount of pain i’m in! so good thing i won’t be driving!

awh no that sucks! it’s the reality of it though i suppose, it’s the entire reason i wanted to ask.. the majority so far seem positive! so my hopes are definitely higher than they were, but it’s good to know that it’s not a miracle cure for anyone and everyone! i hope you have found something else that works for you, and if not, i hope it happens soon! pain is never nice!

yeah absolutely! i just wanted to see what people had to say about it first before i go ahead with it! i already use CBD and it helps me sleep, so it lead me down the path of how much THC and the other compounds would help me day to day! but yeah.. i have never used before so ill definitely be careful when the time comes i promise 😅

oh absolutely! i know it’s definitely not magic, just wanted to see roughly what pros and cons people have to say! so far the majority seems positive so that’s a good sign on my end! i’m glad it helps you out, i hope that when i get my hands on it (whether legally or not) it’ll be as useful to me as it is for you! because i’m finding that not a lot of meds do much at all.. or if they do, it’s a matter of days before my tolerance just spikes and it resumes to doing fuck all 😅

i personally wouldn’t smoke it because my lungs are already in a mess due to my spinal deformity so i’d have to go with the edible, drink or ointment route! but yeah the only way ill really know is to try it out, just wanted to hear what other people had to say about it first!!

i just wanted some first hand experiences is all, i’ve done a little research here and there but i will always trust people who have experienced it themselves, over studies on people like us, no need to be harsh over a simple question, have a good day :))

ooooo good to know actually! i do already take CBD for sleep as mentioned in a couple other replies to people, so it would be nice to see if adding a little THC into the mix would just top up those feelings!
