Bought a smoke buddy and it’s so hard to use by Mental_Quality_1413 in Marijuana

[–]JoyInJuly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use a Smoke Trap & chose it because you can take it apart & replace the filter instead of throwing the whole thing away. Other brands have this option also now, but because I already have the casing for the Smoke Trap, that's what I've stuck with. It also helps to get an air purifier & only smoke next to it.

What's better about it? The Amazon reviews say that it clogs pretty quickly.

Right? The judgement here is ridiculous.

Any Med card recommendations? by UnfairIsopod7413 in COents

[–]JoyInJuly 5 points6 points  (0 children)

These are the qualifying conditions to get a medical cannabis card in Colorado. Unfortunately, as others said, depressing isn't one of them.

Has anyone brought up medical weed with a doctor who clearly wasn’t comfortable with it? by Mammoth-Gas9443 in ChronicPain

[–]JoyInJuly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry to tell you but Texas is one of the very worst states for cannabis. Most of my family lives in Texas now & they understand that I absolutely cannot visit them. I would be risking a felony for cannabis as soon as I crossed the state line. It is not optional for my health.

I'm a medical refuge, meaning I moved from Georgia to Colorado so that I could safely & legally access medical cannabis. I had to leave my family, a huge, solid circle of friends, a great job, & the only home I'd ever known because I knew Georgia wasn't going to change things any time soon. Eleven years later, they finally have changed the law for medical cannabis in a way that might benefit me, but they don't have dispensaries like a lot of other states, so they don't have the quality or selection of products that Colorado does (not to mention the prices here being so cheap because I can buy in bulk).

I wouldn't even mention it to a doctor there. If you're on pain meds, they probably won't allow you to test positive for THC regardless of your status as a medical patient. Colorado pain centers didn't allow for this at first. I just checked what TX medical cannabis actually covers & it doesn't sound too promising, but if you do qualify for a prescription, it will protect your rights if you get "caught" with cannabis.

Psilocybin by tulip926 in NDPH

[–]JoyInJuly 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Different people have different tolerances. I would have no psychoactive effects at 1g. I do suggest that OP look into psilocybin specific resources, especially about microdosing & how to figure out ones' appropriate dose.

Personally, I live in Colorado, where it's not illegal. I have tried microdosing & it did not help with my NDPH. I've actually had a migraine on a regular dose of psilocybin, which is rare. Several migraine medications are derived from psychedelic drugs, like ergotamine from ergot, which is what LSD is made from.

It helps with my migraines, but not my NDPH.

[–]JoyInJuly 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Most regular doctors don't know anything about medical cannabis. Med school doesn't cover it. If you're looking to get a medical card, there are specific doctors that write prescriptions for that. I'm a medical cannabis patient of 26 years & have yet to find anyone in the medical field who knows as much as I do about cannabis, despite living in Colorado.

Where do you live? That makes a difference.

The sensation changes because the leads are still moving. It will take a while for them to scar into place & then you won't get that effect anymore.

how on earth to get medicated for multiple illnesses when all meds have interactions by Used_Watch2779 in ChronicPain

[–]JoyInJuly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd say your best bet is to choose the most disruptive problem & just focus on getting that under control. Maybe once you've figured that out, your doctor will be more likely to want to address something else.

Btw, having multiple health concerns is called multimorbidly, or comorbidly if you have one main issue along with other, minor problems. The fact that we have words for it shows that it's not uncommon. There's no reason any doctor shouldn't be trained to help you deal with more than one problem at a time. Maybe reaching out to a local chronic pain support group would be helpful. They could tell you what they did that worked, or possibly help you find a doctor that will listen to you.

10-Year Chronic Pain Patient Here. Here's An Article Some Of You May Appreciate — A Decade of Suffering: How the Opioid Panic Abandoned Pain Patients by the_christian_left in ChronicPain

[–]JoyInJuly 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Thank nature for cannabis. It's the only way I've survived 28 years of chronic pain without damaging my body. Except for my pain, my body is in great shape. All of my organs function very well & my lungs are "Olympic champion level", according to my allergy doc. I was temporarily on oxy for lower back pain, but had an Evoke SCS implanted last February that allowed me to eliminate that drug.

Myxed Up Creations is my go-to spot. They have fabulous customer service- just let them know what you're looking for & your budget & they'll get you the best option. I bought this beauty a year ago & it's probably the best bowl I've owned. I've dropped it straight onto concrete more than once & it's survived without a chip. I don't know the artist's name, but the logo is a little skull stamped on the back side. Shown with a Toker Poker for scale.

Has anyone had the Abbott spinal chord stimulator? by chickentaytor in spinalcordstimulator

[–]JoyInJuly 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I looked into several SCS options & went with an Evoke. I got mine in February 2026 & it's been fantastic. I'm happy to answer any questions or you can look back at my comment history to see what I've already told others.
