Using Cannabis For Pain Management?

I think I have one single seed somewhere...i don't think theres a single seed in this whole 8th (well, less than an eight now)

cool thing about seeds is that if stored properly I do believe hundreds, possibly thousands of years later a seed could still be viable and if given the proper care at that time grow into a plant ! So future people in the year 3000 could grow one of our seeds from 2014 and then smoke the weed, so that way they could know what people were smoking back in 2014 ... i wonder what kind of weed strains people will be growing and smoking in year 3k?

I sure do hope that in the year 3k we don't have any silly weed laws, I think the human race's survival depends on it .. i mean I know I'm not the only person who has repeatedly realized how utterly silly it really is to make a plant illegal .. it's a FUCKING PLANT, part of freakin' NATURE and you're gonna try to outlaw it? Can't even grow it, and they want to destroy this plant when they find it ... it's part of nature, just let this plant be geez! i think we as a people should have more important things to deal with than whether someone wants to grow plants or not .. stuff that actually matters!

 

Here are some studies to start with: http://www.420magazine.com/2010/03/the-healing-properties-of-cannabis/
I don't smoke it, but I do make capsules with coconut oil to control pain and inflammation. I use satvia for daytime use to avoid couchlock, and indica at night to help me sleep. It took a bit to experiment so that I had meds that did not make me high, so I could still function during the day, but get the relief I need.
I find it works well for pain. The sativa not as well, but it makes it bearable. Depending on the strain (I am experimenting with homegrown landrace strains) and the amount of oil to hash (I make water hash first, then mix with the oil and put into pills) not only can the pain be bearable enough to things during the day, but it can also make you feel good about the fact that you are dealing with the pain.
The indicas work well to make you sleepy and help keep you asleep during the night, depending on the dosage.
I use leafly.com to research the strains available in our area at the collectives. They have a feature that lets you type in the symptoms you are addressing, and gives you suggestions on which strains would work for that.

 

online seed companies are pretty reputable

 

Oh, one more thing, I haven't got too far into studying the plant in this study: http://www.techtimes.com/articles/2427/20140103/ancient-chinese-herbal-remedy-might-be-cure-for-chronic-pain.htm
But I plan on looking into that as well.

 

initial study done on animals at Virginia Tech School of Vet Med shows that there is a receptor for CBD in the pain pathway, which has enabled veterinarians to use it as an alternative depending on the state. Study is completed and peer reviewd, but I am not sure where or if it has been published. Should be soon.
