User Reviews for cannabis

THC and Dopamine calm my system down. Allow me to be in the present and experience oneness.

Marijuana has helped me trmendously in a few different ways for my multiple sclerosis. It helps my consistent pain which is usually a 10 (a scale of 1-10) and takes it down to a 2,1, or 0, insomnia, anxiety, and helps me relax because I am always tense due to my diagnosis. I am also diabetic and should not smoke because of the diabetes. I am able to get edibles from cannibias clubs. The edibles do not contain sugar and does not interfere with my diabetes.

You can NOT overdose on marijuana and there are NO serious side effects over any period of time. I have smoked every day for the last 15+ years. It just needs to be legalized. PERIOD!

Ive had cronic pain for years & all the doctors have no answers. So thats when I turned to marijuana. I only wished I looked into it sooner. Its helped me termendus. I just wish all the non-belivers would stop making so hard for us true people in need feel like we are in the wrong for wanting somthing else to turn to then pain pills to help manage our pain. It just saddens me that some people cant open there minds to mother nature true beauty. She has so much to offer everyone.

L-1 spinal injury with no use of right leg, confined to wheelchair. I lean to the right so all the weight is on my right side. Developed some nasty sciatica pain 3 1/2 years ago. Pain is sometimes severe enough to stop me from doing my photography. Do not want opiates and ibuprofen does not work. Marijuana illegal in my state but I had a MD who mentioned it to me but could not endorse it since it is illegal. Tried sativa strain but the kind I tried actually made the pain worse. Tried a hybrid of sativa and indica and pain was gone. Also have put indica now which also relieves most pain. I only use it in the evening just like I would any kind of drug that may effect my driving. Very satisfied with it and I do not understand why it is illegal. I use a vaporizer instead of smoking it. Only thing I don't like about Marijuana is that it makes me hungry. I smoked some marijuana for different reasons when I was in my 30's. Still probably safer than alcohol to use unless you are on a diet.Read More Read Less

I don't need my wheelchair anymore. Thought I would have to use it forever. I started with a cane then crutches and more and more pain pills and siezure meds. I have SPMS. My exessive muscle spasms are controlled and I have regained much of my balance. This works but you have to use the right strain. They have a whole plant medication in other countries "Sativex". It would be nice. For those of you worried about side effects use edibles and drops. As with any medication you might feel "off" but eventually you will notice how you are not in constant pain and the "side effects" fade with use.It has given me my legs back,I am sad that the DEA is attacking the better collectives.I don't want to see anyone left with out this amazing gift. The marinol if fake(labratory created), sativex isn't(whole plant). Read More Read Less

Primary complaint: Back pain Likely cause-stressors: Inactivity, prolonged sitting. Muscle cramping. Method of use (mode of delivery): Cannabinoid tincture Recipe: 1 ounce ground herb and fat-soluble solvent (vegetable, alcohol, or honey-based) I used grain alcohol (everclear, highest percent) and place the herb in a mason jar. Then, after pouring enough everclear to cover top, I closed container and shook for 3 minutes. Then, open, strain thoroughly with cheesecloth, and bottle up just the solution (cannabinoid solutes dissolved into fat-soluble solvent). Simply, soaked half of a towel in the TINCTURE, rang it out, and applied topically with bandage to wrap in place. No side effect risks associated with applying cannabinoids topically (doesn't get you high), other than potential allergy to solute (cannabis, pesticides, etc..) or solvent (alcohol, glycerin, olive oil). Effects were immediate (5-15 minutes) and lasted moderately (3-5 hours). I left it on the whole duration pain-free in my computer chair studying articles (studies) that explain how cannabioids promote cancer cell autho-phagy, apoptosis, anti-metastasis, anti-angiogenesis, and anti-proliferation without risk of death or SERIOUS addiction (no deadly withdrawal; no violent drug-seeking behaviors) or toxicity to organs.

Very effective for fibromyalgia pain and associated symptoms.

This has been the ONLY thing that really helps with the pain, rls, fatigue, lack of sleep, etc that I experience with this disease. I use it in pill form, edible, salve, drinks, as well as smoking. I have been able to cut back on several different prescribed drugs. I can't tell you what it has done for my depression. It has been the most awesome thing I have ever tried or would ever ask for in a natural remedy. I have tried several. Including chiropractic, acupuncture, massage, vitamins, stones, and let's not forget the ever important magnets. The massage worked for the sore muscles, everything else was a farce in my book. This one thing works for so many different things! FINALLY RELIEF! Read More Read Less

Marijuana helps with the pain and stress associated with my multiple sclerosis. Narcotics put me in a foggy daze, not my idea of a very effective "treatment" which tends to be the most commonly prescribed rx.

I have drop foot as well as neuropathy and it flares up most at bedtime. Using a vaporizer to inhale the mj does not so much effect the brain as it does the body. It helps the pain and aids in relaxing enough to finally go to sleep. As well, the sleep often lasts longer.

There is a trick to using this for weight loss. It does speed up your metabolism which in turn helps you lose weight. Beware of the munchies side effect though. If you use this and then get up and go do stuff either around the house or going for a walk, etc. it will actually curb the "munchies" effect and once that passes you actually can get more energy, hence the losing weight part.

This is not a miracle drug. It's a near-indulgent experience with high potential for long-term abuse and addiction. This drug can cause psychotic episodes in those with underlying mental disorders, as well as mild psychosis in regular to heavy users. Should only be used in cases of extreme physical pain as the psychoactive properties are counterproductive.

I have had MS for 5 years. Been on so many other drugs that different doctors have given me to try. All of which have given me very bad side effects and not gotten rid of my pain. I have head,leg and arm pain I have each and every day, along with many other annoying symptoms. I inhale the THC, and it comes the pain that other drugs hve not been able to do.
