For those in the know...is there not a difference between pot plants grown across the southern border? And, don’t some “distributors” mix other products in their pot. Is the FDA doing testing? Like what is required of other pharmaceuticals? (Not that I trust the FDA) I’m just curious. And I also do know that for some people it is a “gateway “ to other drugs.

1st off, I am very sorry you have sciatica. Pray was offered for your healing.

Without knowing your body-type all I can do is offer some general advice. If you live in a state where cannabis or medical cannabis is legal go to a dispensary to purchase CBD oil. It’s usually of a better quality than CBD derived from hemp.

If you don’t live in a legal state, purchasing CBD extracted from hemp is your only legal option. Try & purchase the highest concentration of CBD you can find. Preferably above 100mg. CBD extracted from hemp isn’t as strong as CBD extracted from cannabis plants with THC in them.

I don’t know of anyone using just CBD oil for sciatica but I have read of people who use full flower cannabis oil to treat the pain with some success. While I don’t personally use cannabis to treat pain & notice every time I use it that all my aches & pains vanish for 2-4 hours.

Peace be with you. Happy Easter & I hope you can find relief asap!!!

So did I.

Guess what?

They were stupid before they started smoking pot. If not pot, it would have been booze they started with, or cocaine, or lsd. It didn’t matter.

“The idea is to give opioids a bad name which will pave the way for the new miracle drug—marijuana”

Because all those people who are dying from opioid addiction are just part of the scam, right? Their destroyed families must’ve gotten a big fat check as well, right?

Cannabis isn’t new. People were using it medicinally & recreationally for thousands of years prior to in 1900’s. Prohibitionists, like progressives try to change history to fit their bizarre theology.

That was my thought way back when. I could buy 5 cases of beer for what a gram of powder cost & not worry about getting arrested for my trouble. The cost & the high, such as it was for me just didn’t make sense.

Looking back, I wish I had been using cannabis then. I’d have gotten well sooner for sure.

I bought hemp cbd 500 mg I think it is. If this doesn’t work my next step is to get a medical marijuana card and try cannabis cbd. I have pain meds and take them religiously. I have to. But for about 3 months now the pain is horrible. Nothing is working. I’m at the point where I’ll try smoking it if I have to. Lol
Thanks for the info and the prayers. I researched quite a bit before I bought it. It’s not cheap.

If you get your medical card, I HIGHLY recommend you try the very low doses of full flower edibles. It will make you high but not overly so with a very small does to start. CBD is great for folks but your sciatica might require something stronger. You will feel better using cannabis vs using pharma pain meds, I believe.

Smoking cannabis to start would certainly ease your pain. I’m reluctant to recommend that to start with as you could have a bad experience the 1st few times until you build some tolerance. I know for myself on the rare occasions I feel my mood drop unexpectedly that smoking small amounts of cannabis gets into your system much faster than edibles do.

I smoked pot quite a bit when I was young. When I got older I found liquor and liked it better so.....lol.
I tried edibles back then and they did nothing for me. I’ll try the cannabis cbd oil first. If that doesn’t work I’ll go from there. I actually know someone that works at a dispensary so he can help me out.

Very good. I hope the CBD works for you but if it doesn’t I’m certain you will get relief from the full flower options that are available.

Peace be with you this night & always :)

Tell my stoner friends, If MJ is the best thing since the wheel as you claim, then why world asking if your father smoked doper be taken as an insult or pejorative, in any way?

Don’t know why you included me in this as I didn’t have a problem with you asking that question. You asked & I answered.

Hope you had a blessed Easter.

“You dodged the question, you did not answer it.”

You get to ask questions. You don’t get to chose my answers.

If you had paid attention in all of our discussions you would recall that I prefer edibles & vaping to smoking. So your ridiculous question about having a joint dangling from my mouth while talking with my Dad is a non-sequitur.

Keep trying to fit me into your prohibitionist box all you want. I’ll never fit lol.

Peace be with you & yours this day & always.

The depression you were experiencing was/is (now being masked) very likely demonic. When you started on the pot they backed off. Satan isn’t stupid. Look what he got for his efforts. A man who claims to a Christian hawking his wares. What an effective salesman you have become.

I know someone who had a very hard time with depression even after she had become a Christian. The LORD caused her to receive a tract that carefully led her through the steps of renouncing things such as cultic practices. It led her to speak to the demons she had collected and tell them to leave her in Jesus Holy Name. Upon doing this her awful depression left. One doesn’t even need to be involved themselves in demonic practices to harbor demons. They can come through ones parents, coming in contact with others who have. Also, having sex with others who have demons can transfer them to you.

“The depression you were experiencing was/is (now being masked) very likely demonic.”

Actually it’s because my liver doesn’t make enough folate. The brain uses folate to make serotonin.

“Satan isn’t stupid. Look what he got for his efforts. A man who claims to a Christian hawking his wares. What an effective salesman you have become.”

You project too much. Our Heavenly Father gave us this wonderful plant. Genesis 1:29 clearly says, “God also said: See, I give you every seed-bearing plant on all the earth and every tree that has seed-bearing fruit on it to be your food;”

That said, I forgive you for the disparaging comments. You can blame Satan for whatever you wish. I give thanks to Our Heavenly Father daily for this wonderful medicine.

Demons affects the physical body. They mess with it and it’s chemical processes. I realize that for the average person this is hard to understand.
