Marijuana / Cannabis / Medicine

Marijuana / Cannabis / Medicine

Just over three years ago I started to get aches in my joints. Some here, some there, and after a few months it was pretty much in every joint. It finally got to the point I went to see a doctor about it. He said I was just getting old.

A year went by and I could hardly put on my clothes with out alot of pain, try tucking in a shirt or putting on a hat raising your arms when every joint feels like it aint been greased for years!

I had been smokin pot for many decades and never even thought of it as medicine, other than a relaxer from the world, kinda like drinkin. Well, a friend was doing some research on U tube and told me about eatin the stuff, so I did some research.

Now I had been growing some pretty good smoke for over 20 years by then and learned that I could make what is called kief real easy like. Kief is just uncompressed hashish, in it's powdered form, sose to speak. It is all the good parts, called tricolmbs, or sumptin like that, and yah just shake it through a 220 mesh screen bag with dry ice to freeze the stuff yah wants. Dont shake for moren a few (about three) mins or yah gets too much plant material in yer kief. I just use the trimmins from when I trim the buds.

Anyways yah scrapes that offen a big table top and eat a little bit every day. There are a bunch of U tubes about it. It dont make me "high" at all, but I haven't had a bit of arthritis for two years now. After all, it is a God given plant, or at least just a freakin plant. One that I am very grateful for now.

I know smoking it helps My rheumatological condition.  Eases the pain down to a faint muffled roar.

Try making and eating the kief as I do, , WOW ! ! ! No discomfort and as the doctors at the VA say now, , DON"T STOP ! !

What a fantastic plant.

It's hard enough for Me to get any to smoke!  I haven't have any for weeks now.  And the effects of smoking are appreciated greatly.

thanks for the advice about kief norval.

Does it remove the arthritis or just the pain?

[Norval]

arggghhh don't keep reminding me of that "glowing" problem. 


Yes, the keif method of extraction and using it as an edible saves time and effort.


To me, ArMaP, it felt like someone greased all my joints. I have never thought pot was such a good pain reliever, but its qualities for causing the body to try and repair it's self seems to be the real thing. It has caused me to enjoy better health in other ways also that surprised me.

There are many good Utubes, and some not so good, to watch and learn all you can.

Yea, If it weren't for the herb I woulda snuffed it a long time ago.

Our British Metro Paper published a story two days ago in which it was stated a coroner ruled the death of a young mother down to "Cannabis Poisening"...... with the word PROOF splattered everywhere....

Surprise surprise, I and the rest of the UK read the whole article and noticed it was missing something.....

Like the PROOF! lol

They didnt even use any technical terms... Just 'Cannabis Poisening" .. Pshhhtt .

[Amaterasu]

Gotta love propaganda, Sinny.  To date NO ONE has died from cannabis.  "Proof" (or lack thereof) not withstanding.

[zorgon]

Does it count when someone smoking pot kills other people because they are too high to pay attention?

Just asking [smile]

The Poppy Plant

It too has many uses and looks pretty in the garden...

It too has MANY medicinal purposes that have been proven and are in common use albeit via prescription...

Maybe we should just let people smoke that at will too





The cause for medical marijauna is a good and just cause...

The cause for Hemp as a fibre crop  is a good and just cause...


However most people supporting this cause only care because they want to smoke it to get high (I did say most )

This was proven when Colorado opened doors to sales. The millions of dollars taken in was not from those seeking medical benefits, but those wanting to get high

Usually the older generation has a problem with getting high on pot but dont have a problem getting high on caffeine.now some would say folks dont get high on caffeine but thats because caffiene is in a lot of products .because of this we dont dont recognize it in our body.like we do pot.if caffiene was removed and was a ritual like smoking pot is a ritual.we would be getting high on caffiene.
I for one smoke so much that there are times that i dont even feel high.just feel and act normal.
Im all for judging folks for injuries from pot if we also judge people for being high on caffeine.computerrs .sugar .stupidity.water.sex.anger.religion.politics.
Or we can forgive and move on.

If it appeases Big Brother, they could always regulate it with warning label:

"Warning side effects include: emotions of love and oneness, those with a an IQ 140 or above should avoid as may cause thought loop...Do not mix with Alcohol".
