Back to Basics

I'm posting some of the main numbers reputable dispensaries and why it's in the best interest to get meds this way.

Name
DOB
Name of strain
% Indica and % Sativa
THC %
CBD %

This is crucial to those wishing to do this right.  More to medical marijuana than "getting ripped."

%Indica & % Sativa

Most MMJ are technically a hybrid and there's huge advantages in listening to staff recommendations to target various symptoms.  Indica is great for:

-pain
-nausea & Vomiting
-Reflux
-anxiety
-insomnia

SATIVA

For most this is the stimulating part of MMJ.  I have ADHD so except my GI tract I'm usually highly sensitive.

To any medication, benign ones and I've had mood and psychosis on prednisone to treat asthma but this winter I did a stupid thing in the name of targeting a cause.

Sometimes you just medicate some pain until function returns.  Keep reading.

CBD %

CBD is cannabOID.  The natural steroid in MMJ.  I must obsessively watch values of >0.075% when most can take 0.10-0.25 or 0.30% to calm severe pain and treat inflammation and the cause of pain in autoimmune.

Pain meds calm anxiety but also cover pain, and with pain having a function you have to balance what is tolerable and what you must cover in order to function .

THC %

I aim high at 15% or better but the unpredictable nature of this a good quality strain of 11-12% can surprise me.

I say "Keep an open mind". For example, topicals are great for allodynia, learning to make oils is tricky.  But effective for certain.

Especially for oral surgery and so forth .

So my choices were:

Blueberry Cheesecake 90% Indica, 10% Sativa.  THC is 15.92% CBD <0.07
-pain & muscle spasm

Afgoo x Chem Dawg 90% Indica
THC 17%. CBD negligible
-SLEEP

Blue Hawaiian. 50% Indica/50% Sariva 
THC 11.42%. CBD Negligible
-Vomiting
-stimulates some (for me) gastric motility
    --this is painful
         --use a "salad bowl" to offset pain

Headband 80%Indica/20% Sativa
THC 18%. CBD negligible 
-PAIN

I am one who saves containers a f write on the label what helps what and I can target various symptoms and signs.


Enjoy some relief!!!!
