64 y/o cancer patient, finishing (June 1, 2021) a 30 month, 18 treatment, 100 hours of chemo regiment.

When I was near death, I could not administer cannabis in any form. After I took my first dose of chemo, I was able to eat some RSO which helped me sleep.

By dose#2, I was utilizing at night for sleep, RSO or distillate. As I progressed, I was also able to utilize during the day & that is when I really started to kick cancer’s ass.

From month #3 until I was declared “cancer free” I enhanced my chemo fog with a cannabis buzz.

Did it help? A 30 year oncology nurse told me I was worst than anyone they ever treated who lived.

When I tell people I enjoyed my cancer experience...

God bless you hope you are well🙏

Helped me get through a very serious coke addiction, now 5 months clean only green ?

5 months great job my friend! Keep going your doing amazing!

Good to hear dude. You aren’t alone

Good on you. Keep it up. Been there myself 😎

Respect

I’ve been on a few anti depressants and promethazine for being suicidal and severely depressed and anxiety weed is the only thing that has worked for me when I’m without weed I notice my symptoms come back so I have to always have some on me in my honest opinion weed helps anxiety and depression.

Hope your doing alright now man, I agree weed does help me calm down and forget about all my anxious thoughts. I hope in the uk it will become more easily accessible for medical users

yeah defiantly I am better with weed sativas are the best for my condition

glad to hear you are better

u have purchased from us before i recall your username

we plan on having some super silver haze on the menu if that interests you or anyone here

sounds good let us know once it’s up and I’ll take a look

i will do, cheers!

I use cannabis when my head gets too much (Borderline Personality Disorder), I've been prescribed benzo's in the past but they don't really hit home like a good old smoke does, and they aren't too good for you in the long run as they can be quite addictive.
Having a smoke can set me free from my mind which can be a blessed relief sometimes.
I must say though that I don't think cannabis is a "cure all" as such but it should be more widely recognized as being a plant with some healing/helpful properties that truly makes a difference to peoples lives.

indicas are great for managing ptsd

I've heard that from a few people, are you smoking pure indicas or hybrid indica dominant?

pure indicas at night, indica-heavy hybrids during the day

bet those pure indicas send you to sleep like a baby

Yes pal.. without a good strain I am completly paralized withoutany exaggeration, the only prescribed things that work for me are diazepam and they knock you out badly and are addictive as fuck so no long term things work for me but cannabis.

Im nearly 30 and my lower back where the spinal disc isloacated is buggered from years and years of grueling graft for a pittance.

Wait so can you not walk physically or is it too painful to walk? And cannabis “cures” it? No hate or judgement just curious

Canna coconut oil helps me with pain relief and depression. For the depression it's helpful for side effects of coming off anti - depressants. And pain relief for rehabilitation of a broken shoulder I'm get good benefit from vaping too

THC is a miracle drug for me. Use it for mental health treatment. My severe anxiety and depression slowly dissolves with every inhale.

What works well for you? I'm interested to know, if you don't mind expanding? I'm not anxious as such. Melancholy, yes... Horrendously overthinky, too.

Thanks

I have been recently diagnosed with a life changing condition and the stress and anxiety that comes with that. Weed helps no question

It also helps with the side effects of the meds hat I am on and would not like to think what I would be like if I did not use it.

Yes mate I mainly use it for its medical benefits, I have anxiety and it calms me right down, nothing works as well as cannabis for me, would be good to hear from someone that has physical pain tho

which strains are you using for reduced anxiety because I have found some strains can sometimes make me feel even more anxious?

thanks

My preferred strain is NY sour diesel

I find that some saliva heavy strains can make my anxiety flare up 😬

Signed up to this place because one it means I am not relying on unreliable types at home and 2, most importantly my wife is a long suffering multiple sclerosis patient. I've made two orders on here and her mobility has increased and spasms/pain has reduced for her. I absolutely believe in the medical benefits and my wife is enough proof for me.

i've got a lot of complex mental illnesses (bpd, bipolar, ptsd and suicidal ideation) and when i'm feeling the intrusive thoughts creep in a joint can blow them all away. being high allows me to look at my circumstances with clarity and understanding rather than catastrophizing my life. i also have autism and adhd, and it helps with the need to fidget and gives me focus that i don't have sober. i can't watch films or tv half the time without having something else going on, like playing a game or reading a book or going on my phone, but after a joint i'm hyper focused on whatever's on screen. i actually only managed to finish inception for the first time after i started smoking weed.

Oh, you're dealing with an awful lot of things. Some of which I can really relate to as they are on my list too. It's good to know you can catch a breather by using cannabis.

Something else that worked for me is sound therapy. I've started to explore it more & I take part in sound baths or biofield tuning much more regularly and I'm actually starting a practitioner course tomorrow.

If you're a person who really responds to music (especially a deep, heart flipping bassline) then it's likely you'll benefit from something like a gong bath. Shamanic guided meditations are fab too. Each therapy offers something different. I felt very out of place when I first went but I just asked myself 'What would Louis Theroux do?' and imnersed every awkward, autistic part of me into the experience.

I'm definitely meeting more of the right people since I wandered down that path, a very unexpected and welcome bonus 🙏

i'll have to look into that! music and sound is a very core thing for me, i average about 2500-3500 minutes of spotify a week lol. i remember my uncle used to have those metal bowls that would produce sound if you traced the rim of them with an object, i can't remember what they're called though. thanks for sharing about sound therapy, i hadn't heard of it before! hope you have a great week bigga 🫡

Thank you & you're welcome. That's a singing bowl your uncle had ☺️ There's a lot of interest in them at the moment. Crystal ones as well as brass.

You can find quite a lot of sound bath/therapy stuff on Spotify but it's more amazing in person - that being said, I join a weekly group bio-tuning session over zoom (I can't believe I'm raving about all this Woo Woo stuff tbh) 😅

I'm big on recommending Alan Watts Lectures too, there's a chillstep remix playlist or some such. You might like it 🤞

It'd be good to hear your thoughts, if you do decide to explore the waves.

Stay groovy
☺️

always helps me for indigestion/stomach issues

Thought I'd pitch in seen as the doctor is asking. Recommend vendor.

Suffering with chronic pain, and have ongoing history of anxiety and bouts of depression (when off the weed), suicidal and medicated at worst. Have had a variety of counsellors and cognitive therapies. I spent my early teens and entrie young adulthood battling physchologically due to always trying and never being able to quit ( because all other symtons increase always leaving me empty and eventually depressed and medicated), I have stints of over a year clean, but always feeling like I was behaving "wrong" and weed was an overall negative to life, I've hidden it professionally and socially and consumed everyday. I went vegan to prepare for a tea ceremony and life improved a lot after that, not in the first year but it led me to a new place mentally and over the course of a year in rumination (do not recommend to anyone) I unwrapped a lot of my past and saw a lot of the way I handled myself and I'm a lot kinder these days, to myself, I have a much better relationship with weed, I have surrendered to it and spend my life high now, still in secret.

A huge and major factor of the negative experiences I have lived through because of weed have been due to its legal status and stigma therefore attached.

My life is better now I have dissociated my views with the negative ones of others, I spend more time alone and work differently to nurture my addiction. I'm a lot happier for it overall.

To anyone who experiences stomach issues! Be aware of the CHS and don't get stuck in that loop.

Peace and love to all our time here is very short. If you consume cannabis I hope you enjoy it and if you don't I hope you can find your balance.

Over the years I have used weed successfully to quit nicotine, coke and most recently alcohol addictions... not all at once! All of which I have abused to self-medicate for ADHD and PTSD.

Once I made the decision to quit, I just stocked up with a big bag of weed, hid myself away for a week and smoked myself silly every time I had cravings.

It's an amazing drug for going cold turkey.

Be careful with quitting alcohol though, going cold turkey can cause life-threatening complications, much safer to taper off by a unit per day.

Now I just need to get off the weed 😂🤣😂

Now I just use weed to self-medicate for ADHD and PTSD. It's the only thing that calms my body, reduces my stress and stops my mind racing.

Spent years on numerous ssris, anti depressants, sleeping tabs, GAD tabs, PTSd tabs and more along with the compulsory CBT….

None truly “worked”

Weed does!!!

Better yet, clinically died a few times. Told my lung would never work at 100% again (it’s a long gory story)

Alongside years on morphine I was told to walk at the beginning.

2 weeks post ops and docs check in…

Wow “Apex” you’re keeping up with the walking, this is a miracle your lung is spread near 100%.

Well doc, I walk around the blocks for 5 mins smoking a joint and it’s just getting easier each day.

Doc had a face of pure shock but his comment was amazing.

“Well Apex, I won’t condone or advise against something natural that appears to have worked for you”!

More underrated than people will really know till you experience it imo

Hey Family,

Personally helps us with back pain, muscle relaxation and from mind being occupied with nonsense. It just puts us into good vibe , happy mode guess can be taken as medicinal benefit :)) it actually makes me personally wanna read and watch something to learn or curve a skill. Used to smoke 3.5G to 7G a day which has been reduced to 1-2 joints now and some of us still hitting the bongs on daily basis. Feel a lot happier and alot less lazier when reduced the smoke from 10-15 joints or hitting bongs to 1-2 Joints for nice 30-40 minute night walks, lost more weight and diet has improved too.

Wow, reading some of these comments has truly moved me. Sending everyone that is dealing with life altering conditions and illness lots of Love and healing light.

I personally use weed for anxiety and depression but occasionally helps with bloating and also arms and legs restlessness and numbness.

What I have found is that sativa’s generally can trigger panic attacks or at least crazy paranoia, palpitations and fear for me. My ‘sweet spot’ is a nice RSO in the evening and maybe a small indica spliff or dry herb vape and that usually works wonders

Peace and Love x

Smoking doesn’t have the benefits as ingesting for me but I have ASD (meditation doesn’t tend to work the same for me.) chronic pain and osteoarthritis it’s the first time in 20+ years I’m basically pain free (I feel swelling and pressure) ASD stopped me leaving the house to attend appointments, shopping or a basic family day out. It’s all disappeared I’m calm, less frustrated, near prescription painkiller free (opioid addict 2 years ago) and sober 100% sober and all since starting regular cannabis from this site yes it’s been that much of a turn around! It’s changed my life, I’m sure my family will agree 😂

Yea so my main symptom of ms is a crushing feeling running across my chest. It’s like a belt that’s way too tight but when I use cannabis it’s like that belt is letting a few notches loose and the crushing feeling goes from 10/10 to 4/10

Best thing to do is order some strong thc weed and mix it with whatever ratio works best for you, with quality CBD buds.

micro-dosing edibles is the best pain management on the planet.

Its great to see so many users waking up to this and benefiting from it. Just use as much as it takes for relief and then only more if you want to.

Chocolate with the extra fats and sugar are a great delivery for thc.

Try full spectrum as well as the extra CBD and other cannabinoids will also help with all of these symptoms.

I've got some Cheese CBD which is great for this. 12% CBD and 8% THC.

Ping me a message if you'd like a sample to try for your pain

BudB

This is a great strain for medical use! We sampled this at a show and they were making a lot of organic medibles and topicals with the strain. Cool to see it in the UK

PM me and I can sort out a free sample, no problem, if not- happy hunting.

Look for Indicas, mostly hybrids available with sativa genetics too so look for a high percentage of Indica genetics sometimes described as "Indica dominant". So Kush and its varieties are a good start. Indica gives a stronger body effect, I use them for pain and inflamation, I do have migraines occasional and it works for that too. Also varieties - Pink Zombie, Honey Cream, Purple Kush, Star Dawg and many others.

I prefer outdoor organic sun grown herb rather than Hydroponic indoor, so I'm using ChronusBuds ( seller - link above) at the moment, very helpful & friendly guy, small amounts possible. His herb does not have that "plumped up" hydro look so it puts some people off- but the effects are very good.

I hope you find what you need.

Check out our Premium Caixa Bank Hash with a good balance of THC:CBD ratio its perfect for aches,pains and relaxation.

I find shatter works better than bud for me personally, it really clears my head

Lemon sorbet

Hello bud! please check out our organic weed. We have Gorilla Cookies but it might be too strong for you. Sounds like you need an indica for pain anyway but you'd likely want to consider a hybrid leaning one if you plan on smoking in the afternoon or you'll get sleepy. I might be able to help you out with some of my other strains bud, i'll pm you!

Do you smoke weed normally or is it just for the migraine mate?

I have 24 7 basilar type migraine so I have it at night so I don't cave my skull in lol but I do have anxiety and a sleep disorder so useful for all

It might be worth having a read through the many studies and guides for microdosing with LSD, I started microdosing about a year ago to see if it would reduce my Fibro pain, it didnt. But what it did do was enable me to get restful sleep for the first time in years, I take 0.1g of dried mushroom(psilocybe cubensis) twice a week. The dose is so low I dont know I have taken anything, but now I can sleep much better.

Hope you get some rest bite soon..

Hi okay to start with 90% of UK weed is sprayed which is very sad but its the truth mate. Cali bud is different from UK weed not just in quality but also terpene profiles meaning that the chemical THC is different in cali weed. Why is it different? Well heres why. Its due to the fact that when the plant flowers here in the UK they want to finish it as quick as possible so they cut it early most of the time which at 7-8 weeks of flower. However on the other hand in cali the flowering stage takes 9-12 weeks and in those extra weeks the flower develops a substance called CBN. CBN gives you this relaxed sleepy feeling with minimum anxiety and stress. This is scientifcally proven mate you can look it up. Its never about what strain its always about how the plant was grown. If the plant is grown with love, you will get love from smoking it <3 with all that said try our Pina acai! She's tasty and fruity with a pleasent nice high.

https://www.sciencedirect.com/topics/neuroscience/cannabinol

Cannabinol (CBN) is the nonenzymatic oxidation byproduct of THC and is most commonly an artifact found after prolonged storage, especially at higher temperatures.

Please back up these claims with some links and actually science, cheers

Not sure I'd agree with the 90% figure but I wouldn't know as I've not bought weed in years as a grower. Can I ask though, what is the weed sprayed with? Serious question as I've heard this before but never seen or heard of a spray for sale that would help weed post harvest. Is it a spray that puts weight on the buds or something?

How can you tell if its been sprayed?

Not arguing with you at all I genuinely have never come across a post harvest spray in any hydro shop I've been to over the years so just wondering what it actually is. Not that I'd ever use it!

Thanks.

Cheers BB

https://ukcsc.co.uk/know-your-smoke-grit-spray-and-flush/

Used to be like this a while back , but not had any weed like that for a long time and not on LB, thank god!

Thanks for this.

Facinating that the article advises to "rub crystals on your teeth, if it dissolves, it's fine"

After the article has just mentioned glass being something they spray it with!!

Wouldn't fancy rubbing any glass into my teeth to find out if weed was legit or not, haha.

I'm still confused as to how this is done. How do you spray glass and grit? Especially onto a bud?

I'm sure the dodgy geezers have a way. No surprise I haven't seen it in my local hydro store then!
.
Thanks again for the info.

Cheers BB

What are you thoughts on PGR's,( plant growth hormones) just as stuff can be done after the cure-with grit weed, the same applies with the actual grow?

Link to an informative and well composed article:

PGR -ghastly chemicals that are obviously used in many of the grows that end up being sold here. Very dense, large buds,with very numerous long pistils and other effects. The aim = profit ofc. So many buyers on here think that plumped up and huge buds are "fire", it's madness!

I do not want to consume such hormones or hormone pathway enhancers. I refuse it in our food as much as possible and have done so for many decades, growing our own organically - so there is no way I want the damn stuff in my herb.

Thanks to those here who do understand that and grow real herb.
