Severe pain in hands

Sometimes Iā€™d used Pink Kush 7.3 mg THC gel caps to help with sleep. It was good. One really bad night I took a second a couple of hours later. That wasnā€™t wise for me.

ā€œPink Kush weed is popular with medicinal cannabis users for its de-stressing and body relaxing effects. Consumers claim that the strain's body high offers relief from chronic pain, muscle aches and other types of pains. This strain is also used to manage migraines, back pains and muscle strains.ā€

Kush is one of our local gang's word for weed.

I don't like the body high. That's a term my DIL used when she was explaining all the MJ stuff she brought me. "Take half of this one, so you won't get much of a body high, and that one is already low on the body high spectrum...."

(and @hollydolly )

Polyfluoroalkyl substances, aka PFAS, has been used for decades to make nonstick cookware, like DuPont Chemical Company's Teflon, waterproofing spray for fabrics, like the 3M Company's Scotchgard, and firefighting foam and numerous types of cosmetics. Exposure to PFAS has been linked to kidney and testicular cancer, liver damage, and high cholesterol.

DuPont and 3M promised to limit the use of PFAS and said they would send a report to the CDC if they request one, but they haven't yet. Scientist say that an auto parts plant near Detroit, Michigan discharged so much PFAS into the Huron River people should fish for sport only; catch and release; do not eat the fish.

Last year the feds proposed a strict limit on how much PFAS is allowed in public drinking water before cities face a reprimand, but proposed no limit on any type of man-made products. They also failed to propose regular testing of restaurant food and fast-food (I'm gonna call it PFAS-food) or their food distributors. What has happened to the proposal, I do not know. It's probably still just a proposal....an idea.

In late summer 2023, Michigan state gov't started the Eat Safe Fish Program. Basically, you go to their website and click on a map that shows you where the bad fish are. I'm not sure if I can even call that a good start. ...mmm, nope.

I would like to know if the CBD/THC gummies help. Do you know the ratio of THC/CBD?
Click to expand...
So, I tried two gummies today:

KANHA ā€“ 10mg ea THC & CBD, ratio 1:1

BUDDY ā€“ 3mg THC and <2mg CBD, sativa type
(sativa type is energizing/stimulating, so I ate Ā½ of one)

10:30am: Ate 1 KANHA for pain & stiffness in rt handā€¦plus it was 3hrs after my morning Norco (10mg) and 3hrs til the next dose and my lower back hurt bad, so I wanted to see if it would help w/breakthrough pain.

11:30am: Somewhat slow brain & mild dizziness (mild "body high"), hand stiffness and back pain greatly reduced.

(noon: took my Norco with Ā½ 5hr energy shot, as usual)

12:30 pm: Improved eyesight ( :oops: ), greatly improved hand dexterity, no hand pain, slight stiffness.

1:30: Body high gone, still no hand pain, didnā€™t notice any stiffness.

2pm: Went to bed and took an unusually long nap, 2pm - 4pm. Normally, if I nap, itā€™s for about an hour.

6:00pm: Ate Ā½ a BUDDY for hand pain and some stiffness. (also took my 6pm Norco, which never helps the hand pain)

6:45pm: Energy surge, no hand pain, mild stiffness when I made a fist.

7:40pm: Ate 1 KANHA for breakthrough back pain.

7:45pm: Mild body high.

8:45pm: Body high stopped, KANHA wasnā€™t effective for the breakthrough back pain, but I was more active than usualā€¦could have been the Ā½ dose of BUDDY.

10pm: No hand pain but a lot of stiffness.


And that's this day done.

About 5 years ago, Misa's brother gave me what he described as the best CBD for pain. It didn't do anything for me, so I am wondering if it is the THC ( because I do smoke pot for pain ) or the CBD. I have heard that the combo works best. I guess I will get something like that for my night time dose. Take it about 9:30pm because at 12:30am I wake up and my ankles are burning. See if it will help. Thanks for the "test/and report". :)

My DIL has been using medical MJ for many years. She explained it like this: the THC relieves pain and provides the high feeling in both body and mind. The CBD is the antidote to the high. It basically controls how high, and can be specialized (through hybridization and adding chemicals as well) to control the two types of high separately so that you can feel more body high than mental or vice-versa.

She said "Isn't that cool that a plant can produce an effect and an antidote to the effect?"

She's a huge proponent of medical pot (she has very severe diabetes), so maybe she's biased, but she didn't pull that info out from nowhere. But I gotta point out - the gummy with the lowest CBD (<2mg) gave me the mildest high feeling. Like, almost zero. Like I downed maybe one shot of liquor. And it lasted only an hour or two.

It's likely both THC and CBD work differently on different people. So I'm glad Kay brought me a variety. Today, I'll try the FROOT ones. Half a gummy at a time, at first. Also I have the tincture she gave me, and another gummy coming in the mail today. I'll try those later.

I know this sounds too simple, but I cut the foot and leg sensations by a solid 75% when I started sleeping with a firm little pillow between my knees. The idea was to keep my hip bones in line with each other, and my lower spine as straight as possible, so however you can do that while you sleep, try it.

Oh, but I sleep on my side, though. And that matters. Your skeleton is most out-of-line while you sleep on your side.

But how do you think that happens, Pepper, I mean by what means? Is it a powerful antioxidant, maybe? Or a blood thinner? What do you think?

It works your brain, which of course controls everything. It can make your vision the opposite of sharp, or blurry; it can make colors seem more vibrant.
