I am a 34 year old man. I’ve dabbled in some things before but I’ve never once gotten involved with the devils lettuce.
Well with my RA pain, a good friend offered me some “Special” brownies to see if it helps with the pain. I said, “what the hell, why not.”
She gave me two to get started.
Something she told me, but I had no ability to process the information given from lack of experience was that each brownie was two joints worth.
So Sunday afternoon around 4 I decide to try a brownie...tasty...she sure can bake. I ate the entire things.
About 5pm....nothing, not a single bit of anything being felt, I make the wise decision to go ahead and eat the other one.
Well....I remember about 5:3-6:00 I was so happy...laughing and enjoying life...now from 6:30-7:30...that took a solid 9 hours to get through...it felt.
I have no recollection from 7:30pm til I woke up at 6:30am.
My wife has videos of me...I refused to open my eyes. I was trying to explain something but just got caught in a loop of nonsense.
It was a terrible time...I don’t know how many joints are too many....but I’m positive that 4 joints worth of was far too much for a first timer taking edibles...fuck my life
You can also try CBDs that have no psychoactive properties.
The main benefit medically is they are a great anti inflammatory.
My mid 80s mother (who has had a broken back, two knees replaced, a hip replaced and bad arthritis) finally tried CBD oil. It took me a couple of years to try.
Just a capsule opened and added to her morning coffee.
After several weeks of daily use, once or twice a day it got her from 8-10 oxy a day to 2-4. She is now off of the poison pills completely. Mentally much clearer being off of the pain meds. Still has pain of course but is managing it well without the pills.
If you live in a state where medical use is legal go to a dispensary, not a friend. Describe why you need it and get the most pure oil you can.
Friends are not going to be able to extract CBD correctly. The unit we used was about $20,000 used.
Don’t get some “cbd” spray at a smoke shop or liquor store.
It is not cheap. My moms capsules ran about $70 for 30 caps. Prices have come down some.
It’s not a cure all or a miracle drug by any means. It is a very effective anti inflammatory when it is real CBD.
Also made a home made rub that my mother said was better than blue emu....lasted longer and more affective.
Anyway, have seen multiple people helped in my direct circle of family and friends. My mother getting off of the pills and a 10 year old boy with seizure disorder go from multiple seizures a day to rarely having them being the most profound.
If you are interested in trying this to help with the RA seek out someone who knows this field, stoner friends usually don’t know much about it and treatments.
