Incorrect. I'll get you the info later.

There is absolutely a political agenda to this. Has been for the better half of a century.

Lots of stuff on this. Try googling
ag sessions block cannabis research

No idea who Jeff Sessions is, but it seems he has the power to effectively block the necessary studies and is doing so.

And am I the only one who finds it creepy odd that all of the sudden the market for MMJ has been opened up? But.... with no guidance on dosing.... it is an absolute f*cking free for all right now.

And the most disturbing thing of all in this is that I have been given a substantial raise in my prescription this time around. From 1 gram a day to 3 grams a day. I didn't ask for it. As a matter of fact I told them I didn't need that much. As a matter of fact, I have never ordered - not once - even the 1 gram a day I was allotted last year. 3 grams? Freaking laughable.

Who needs opiods with this shit being sent to users by the truckload?

So let's do the cold/hard math on that shall we? 30 grams a month = 450.00 per month (with compassionate pricing which is 25% off)
Without compassionate pricing would be appr 500.00 per month.

But since I have been bumped up to 90 grams per month I can now spend 1500.00 per month
on Cannabis. That's a substantial amount of money, no?

See where I am going with this?

Nobody gives a shit whether it works or not. Except me. And I am going to tell you that my life has absolutely changed for the better. Any of you who know my story know this.

So myself? I don't give a shit whether studies say it works or not. And I am angry as all get out that this was not made available to me 11 years ago instead of those f*cking SSRI's that literally destroyed my life, my business, the relationships with most of my friends, my health.

Forgive my language. I am disgusted the way this is all going down. I am certain that whatever this is is based on corruption. Normally I would stay away from it just on principle. But it works. Nothing else, for me, has. That's good enough for me.

Jeff Sessions is the AG - the Attorney General of the United States, the Secretary of the U.S. Department of Justice. He sets all policy on U.S. Federal Law and prosecutorial priority. He has made his desire to crack down on any and all marijuana use VERY clear - recreationally or medically. The United States government still classifies cannabis as a Schedule I drug - same as heroin. This is probably not going to change for at least a generation or two and certainly not as long as the present administration is in control.

While many states have effectively decriminalized cannabis use, especially medically, at any time the federal government could decide to crack down on users and sellers and send literally everyone who sells, buys, or uses it off to federal prison. Federal law overrides state law. So far the DoJ hasn't done that, even though they could; traditionally the Feds have only gone after the largest suppliers. Jeff Sessions has recently directed the Department of Justice to go after smaller suppliers and make sure they are prosecuted to the limit (and federal sentencing guidelines for drug crimes are extremely harsh, plus there are usually racketeering charges thrown in there too). It would not be surprising to see the Feds go after cannabis users in the near future, just to make a point.

The only way to fix this is for Americans to vote for pro-cannabis candidates on a federal, not state, level. Unfortunately, since the Boomer generation consistently votes against loosening any drug restrictions and are the largest bloc of voters by far, there are few of these candidates - and the few that exist are Democrats, who are unlikely to be elected simply by virtue of being Democrats. But the current administration is the anti-cannabis government that Americans wanted and elected. If they want things to change, they can vote differently. There's not much sign of that.

Hmmm, I hadn't, nor would I have ever thought of this. Thanks for clarifying.

Different than Canada. We have a Liberal federal government which seems to have bought into medical as well as recreational usage as of October 17th.

Still scratching my head as to why this loosening up has come about so quickly.

All that matters to me at this stage of the game is that it is helping me tremendously. I won't be on it forever, I have no interest. But I will continue using it to loosen me up so I can do exposure type stuff to help my healing move along.

@somerandomguy...the view against cannabis was the same in the Obama (Democrat) administration, too. There is no way that the federal government will arrest everyone using it. There are too many using it. And the internal fight is with the pharmaceutical companies trying to find a way to control the market...that is where the lobbying in government is really happening and has been for some years, now. And I, personally, am Ok with not making it legal for recreational use but would like it to be released, federally, for medicinal use. Or if they decriminalize it for recreational use, then put similar restrictions on it as with alcohol and tobacco. That would be fair. Our state just passed a law that cannibas can be prescribed for the use of controlling seizures. And my and my hubby's doctors don't mind us using cannibas as long as there is no traceable THC in it. It will not be long before the stuff is made legal. It is beginning to be too useful, in the medical community, nationwide.

Hubby and I use the "Every Day Optimal" CBD Oil Tincture...1000 mcg. It works wonders on migraines and my chronic pain and hubby's arthritis pain. It also helps to enhance the ability to stay asleep, at night. It is my replacement for percocet.

Should I give it a shot, with the flower?

Just gave it a shot with the flower.

My finger pain is almost gone!!!

I don't feel like I need diazepam right now, and it's well past the time where I -should- be too anxious to handle things without.

I feel f*cking chill. Definitely feel like I smoked weed, just, a different kind of weed.

I mean, I did smoke weed.

It was just CBD heavy weed.

But, it has helped quite a lot, so far, with anxiety, and even more importantly (because I value my hands above just about all else) has reduced my pain!

Full body. Save for two places. The broken ribs areas, from the trauma. Those still kinda hurt.

But it's not so bad.

I am so f*cking glad weed is legal here.

Edit: gah I wish I tried this shit sooner. Lmao.

CBD oil [no THC] is now available in the UK, but it's difficult to know where to start to find a decent product. Any UK members got any experiences/recommendations?

 

[Strangelongtrip]

I tried just pure CBD oil and it made me super dizzy, but I’m on a 50/50 THC CBD oil tincture and it’s weaker and the mix is amazing. I haven’t had a panic attack in two months, I can handle PTSD related depression, and the mood swings are rare and containable. I can’t smoke or vape it because of the act causing flashbacks but the oil is amazing.

 

[EveHarrington]

I’m trying the balm again, just a little though, on my wrist. This tiny jar cost $69! Lol. At least my ex was good for something.

Anyone use the tincture?

What do people find it works best for, symptom wise.

Whew. I think I overdid it lol. So tired.

I’m trying the balm again,

I started out using the balm and it did have some THC in it. I applied it directly to a swollen and dislocated joint and it worked very well but, I had to stop using it because of the THC. I know someone who suffers from intractable chronic pain and she actually ate the balm. She was pain free for the first time in years. She, too, had to quit using it because the THC was illegal in Texas and her doctor threatened quit treating her. She has since found out her body does not process most pain meds but the doctor still cannot allow her to go back on the CBD W/ THC. Sad. Anyway, give the balm a try. The one I used cost $100. Can't tell you what brand it was because it was a gift from a friend...she bought it in Colorado.

I used a very little bit this time and still had a bad experience as it made me feel dissociated. I guess the stuff isn’t for me. I’m still waiting for it to fully wear off. Lesson learned.
