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🙏

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 have a severe spinal condition, used to need codeine, pregabalin and naproxen all day everyday. Now when i have edibles it gets rid of my neuropathy or makes it more manageable most dsys without needed all those bad chemicals.

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 😬

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
☺️

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.

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.

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

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
