Cannabis helps with my chronic pain but it's still not magic
When you are in pain 24/7, you are desperate for some kind of magic potion to take it away. Unfortunately there is no such thing. I can only be on opiates for a limited amount of time because long term use damages my liver.
After I had my knee replacement surgery in March, I had to start weaning myself off of pain killers because my liver enzymes were climbing fast. The only thing that is somewhat helpful with any kind of pain relief are my cannabis capsules.
Medical marijuana became legal in Canada not all that long ago. Cannabis for recreational use won't be legal for another year. Personally I have no issue with it as long as users are responsible.
I can't smoke it, nor vaporize it. I take capsules. Sativa- strains are for the morning because it helps me get out of bed, move around and be more productive. The indica-strains are for night time because it does help me sleep. Otherwise the pain keeps me up.
Though there are days when nothing helps at all. Medical marijuana is not magic either. I'm still dealing with a lot of pain. I'm never going to get away from it. At least a lot of the time, it helps lessen it. I am happy to take what I can get. If medical marijuana can numb the pain even just for a little, it's worth it.

Hi. I'm glad to have done so. It does help but not magical. Thank you for taking the time to read.
mj is magical in a lot of ways in my opinion! If used in moderation/correctly
It's certainly great but it doesn't completely take away my chronic pain. 😔
Have you tried CBD Isolate? Its a pure white powder. Its 99.7% pure CBD. I was just turned onto it couple weeks ago by a friend. I was told it works well for pain. :)
Hi. Yes I have. Works the same. Thanks for suggesting though.
:)
the herb of life!!
I wish it helped more haha!
How long will it take for your knee to heal?
Anywhere from 6 months to a year. Then I'm going to have to deal with my left knee woohoo 😖
Yowzers! At least you got something to numb it out eh? Maybe should invest in some POT (the coin) ;)
Sorry to read about your chronic pain. I can't imagine what you're going through. Hopefully with a little THC and maybe another added application things will get better.
