Medical Cannabis

The strain may also calm nausea and boost a user's appetite. Attempting to concentrate on losing weight whilst in the early phases of smoking cessation is a superior approach to fail at both things. You could possibly be uncomfortable, but most likely you won't feel hoplessly sad, despite an assortment of new feelings and emotions.The issue is unsanitary cutting rooms, he explained. The situation is simply going to secure more dire. The usage of euphemistic language can be one sign of the building of a terministic screen.

How do you get medical cannibus? I’m a stage 4 for 14 years and I have been wanting to ask my oncologist about this topic. I live in Missouri but the dr is in Kansas so are the laws different?

Thank you

Another idea: take a trip to Colorado and get capsules or candies over the counter with no legality problem. Then dump them in a different container. Then go home. Maybe there is another state nearer to you than Colorado where purchase is legal too

As others have said, cannabis regulations vary by state. Due to it being illegal federally, it is illegal to transport it between states. As far as flying, lovefromphilly is probably right in saying that small quantities for personal consumption are probably not a TSA priority at this time, but please be aware of the risks and potential consequences if caught. I live in CA, which now sells cannabis for medical and recreational use. Many dispensaries even deliver! I admit that it was surreal the first time I used delivery, just like ordering a pizza!

kber - I'm starting Taxol and Carboplatin, 1 cycle every three weeks tomorrow, for a second Primary tumor, not related at all to breast. When I was on Taxotere, Carboplatin, Herceptin and Perjetta for my breast cancer I was VERY nauseous. I live in a medical marijuana state and my oncologist and a friend that is an anesthesiologist recommend it. How in the world do you know how much to take? When do you start taking it?

rjes,

I wish everyone had legal access to cannabis. It has been a lifesaver for me, in terms of pain management and helping with my appetite. It is lovely to have it available in all forms, tested for quality, and measurable doses in edibles. It still involves personal trial and error and is pricey but beats the pants off of “knowing a guy” as a source for cannabis. Let’s hope everyone has access to legal cannabis in the future

I live in a state that recently legalized recreational marijuana, and medical MJ has been available here since before my diagnosis. I briefly considered the Rick Simpson "cure", but decided that I didn't have enough faith in it to try it. The recommended dosages seemed too high to allow a person to continue working a forty hour week, for one thing. And getting too high too often tends to precipitate poor mental health states for me. I get lazy, depressed, isolated and self-absorbed. So that's a downside for it.

On the upside, using smaller than "cure" doses gives me these benefits: first, it's a great sleep aid. Second, it dulls pain (I get it in my joints). It replaced the after work cocktails I was previously using to try to unwind from a hard day. And the occasional stress overeating, that I also did. And also with the nausea eating - you know, you're always nibbling on something because your stomach doesn't feel settled. (Yes, I know MJ's supposed to make you more hungry, but I noticed that it was more like it made food more appealing. So when I eat, I slow down and enjoy what I'm eating more. I'm not in the kitchen looking for Scooby snacks all the time, though, because quite often, smoking makes me relax and feel like I don't need comfort food. I think it helped me lose weight, even.)

One other benefit might be worth mentioning - it brought back my libido and made orgasms way more powerful. Like, mindblowing. (Even though I have mechanical problems due to the hormone suppression, so it's not partner sex. I still value it greatly though, and consider that single women deserve a sex life, too, even if it's solitary.)

I've tried edibles, oils, vaping. I usually just get the flower, though, and load it in a water pipe. It's easy to overdo it when you're working with higher concentrations. One thing I was told: if you get too high, you should eat something, and that will help bring you back to earth. Also, it helps to remember that no one ever died from an overdose, no matter how uncomfortable they felt at the time.

As for the cost, it's unbelievably cheap for me, but that's because there's a price war going on where I live. As the 70 or so dispensaries in my town fight it out, there are so many great deals around. I believe as it gets legalized and regulated in more states, the prices will go up and will reflect more of the costs of doing business in a community.

hello reporting in with trying a different strength of RSO. I couldn’t handle the 1:1 I tried before...the pharmacist at the MM dispensary recommended (kinda pushed me) to get the 15:1 RSO CBD:THC and I think I am handling it so much better. I feel fine and good on it! Hope I sleep well tonight fingers crosse

I think I must be so sensitive! I tried the 15:1 CBD:THC last night before bed and had the worst nights sleep and kept waking up with the driest mouth! Not sure I can handle this medicine :-

I was told insurance doesn't pay, because it's still illegal federally.

Grammie, it's not my FB page. I might be able to invite you, of course I would need your name to invite. Or, you might just be able to ask to join Here is the link for starters

I originally started on high doses of THC, they call it FECO on the site, fully extracted cannabis oil. But since joining and their own research and data they collect from members, they are finding that it's not a good idea for ER, PR + to use it, except in only low doses.

I have never followed a particular regimen when it comes to cannabis. I have a very high tolerance for THC but even I would not be able to function too well following the whole Rick Simpson protocol. Since I work full time definitely not an option. I did buy one syringe ( 1 gram) of FECO, full extract cannabis oil and only used it after work. Sticky,gooey and awful tasting, my experiment ended there. The protocol suggests that one should build up to taking a full gram a day. Don't know if it would help my bc, but I would be so high that I couldn't function. Reminds of a bad experience I had ingesting hash oil when I was Peace Corps volunteer. It certainly has the same awful taste

Grammieshell, start low and slow on the edibles and look into products that contain CBD in a higher ratio than THC. After that, you'll just have to experiment a bit until you find formulations that work best for you. Cookies, chocolates and gummies are tasty but they are high in sugar. Many great capsules are available, but a sweet treat is ok now and then. Brands vary widely by state. I'm in CA and my favorite capsule brand is Papa&Barkely followed by ABX (Absolute extracts) and CBD (care by design).

I use cannabis strictly for symptom relief. Sorry that I can't offer any help for naesha or any wishing to use it for disease tx. Feel free to ask me any questions about cannabis for symptom relief. Best to all
