Public Panic In Marijuana Dispensary

[Gs172003]

I'm not sure. Psych meds can certainly cause trouble but so can large amounts of pot. I once kne...

My husband used to smoke back in Ireland. He had to quit for that reason.

Have to agree here. You have become dependent on this and as a result seem stagnanted in healing. This i...

This made me giggle. My T was concerned when I told her that I had joiNed this site. She warned that there would be those who would advise me their dx and treatment plans based on a few things said online. Dont worry, doesnt hurt my feelers one bit. As a nurse of 20+yrs I am familiar with freelance diagnostics.

I know where I've been and how far I've come. I trust and am honest with my T and my P. I know I have issues still to tackle.(Oh honey, I can lose bladder control over a surprise knock at the door or a big sneeze. I have had severe bladder damage).

Its not about hurt & pain that I use mmj, although the CBDs DO relieve my muscle pain/ tremors while allowing me clear thought unlike the rx. All my medical providers, including my neuro, agree its a better option for me after the years of rx pain and anxiety meds. I do not want to begin dopamine drugs any sooner than I am forced to and my tremors are relaxed on mmj. My paranoia is relieved almost instantly. I'm aware overuse can cause issues but seldom do I use vast amounts and go some days without any.

I appreciate your concern and advice. I must defer to my medical team and my own experiences both as a medical provider myself and having been living this for 16 years.From residential care to home with my family and my dogs. I've come a long way baby. :tup:

Sounds good, l wish l could have been there to assist you. Hope that your therapy does continue and you do move to a better mindset. Do you think writing a book on what you went through would help? It's great you came so far! I am dealing with heavy denial of the amount of trauma l have been through so l am trying to see other people's success as something that does happen. You are proof of that.

Quite an unnecessary swipe at well-meaning others - especially given that you don't know our professional qualifications.

Just keep in mind: Physicians (nurses not far behind), as a group, are the most likely to abuse drugs. Strongly documented. Please don't fall into the trap of believing you're above this issue.

No "swipe" intended. Whatever your qualifications, I must remind you that you have no information on my case history, hospitalization, treatment, home life, physical condition or anything else.
I'm sure you mean well. Most people do. I'm sorry if your feelings were hurt or your qualifications somehow demeaned. It was not my intent.

edit:realized how bitchy post sounded and deleted appropriately. Not looking to argue with anyone. Am traveling my path and not looking to tell anyone to change theirs.

aut555, I do have successes I am very proud of. I worked very hard to come to a place where I could live my life, even with its many hassles, at home. Thank You for noticing.

I love the phrase freelance diagnostics. I usually call it "going to the medical school of the internet". Yours is funnier. :tup:

I thought one thing earlier, since you mentioned your stash size - you might want to look into vaping instead of smoking. When researching it for an article here I was surprised to discover the scale of the discrepancies between smoking vs. vaping - it makes sense, of course, but I didn't know it was as pronounced. I think for medical users especially, it reduces so much of the inhalant damage, and uses less product. It's a bit of a cost to set up, but then it's done.

I think the lab-made isolated CBD should be coming out in the US within the next couple of years, and that will affect the MMJ situation too.

Someone may have suggested - but maybe you can talk with your dispensary about standardizing your pick-up times, at least in a way where you know who will be working (most likely) and you can streamline the experience?

Thank you Joey for suggesting these things, very interesting to know.

joey, I do vape (volcano) & it only takes a few puffs. Generally the bag is more wasted in the air than consumed. I prefer medibles for the lasting effect and more CBD products are available that way here. We just got a PPL and will be growing our own. We took a class and juicing leaves seems to be a good method too. We know how to make butter so will be baking.

About the dispensary. Had a great meet with maagement and have made arrangements to call & preorder. Then I will be going in the back office to pay and pickup. No more lobby, no more line.I just needed to assert myself. :)

Thank you for the ideas. Hopefully others who read this will benefit from my mistakes.

Thank you. OP also mentioned she wanted to vomit at the "pot shop", and nausea and vomiting is associated with heavy long term use called cannabinoid hyperemesis syndrome which leads to kidney failure. I understand you are a nurse, but l also understand you have long term and possibly also heavy use and this may result in the so called nausea feeling you quoted in your orginal post. You may need to take a closer look at your usage. Anyways sending compassion and positive thoughts to walk that path to your better place.

No desire to further engage with those making unfounded accusations. I have a qualified medical team and their advice outweighs others. Thanks for the supportive posts and kma for those continuing to attack me.

btw aut555, the gagging and vomiting i experience regularly is from stress recall of a PENIS BEING JAMMED DOWN MY f*ckING THROAT AND BEGAN YEARS BEFORE CANNABIS WAS SUGGESTED TO GET OFF SOMANY RX DRUGS. WAS I VOMITING ALL THOSE YEARS FROM SWALLOWING FOOD BECAUSE OF POT I WASNT f*ckING SMOKING AT THE TIME? STOP MAKING ACCUSATIONS AND ONLINE DIAGNOSIS.
