  1. I have Fibromyalgia, arthritis, stress, Barrett’s disease, sleep disorders bad bones and am having cronic back pain! 76 years old! Never took drugs or smoked in my life! Tired of taking the miracle pill Tylenol which doesn’t help whatsoever! Are this gummy’s good for pain?

  2. I have what is called by those who name such things: Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS). That means my ankle hurts 42 years after breaking it and my left one too. The nerve pain from the ankle fusion is what caused the syndrome. I use cannabis to mainly combat the baad effects of the Oxycontin I take twice a day, messed up sleep mostly. Someday my state will enter the 21st century and pass Medical Cannabis legislation and I won't need to travel two hours to procure.
    I am confused by your views on addiction and cannabis. We travel to Japan to visit our son and there is no access to cannabis on a Marine Base. I have no problem not using Cannabis for our two week visit. There is no discernible bodily or mental impact after smoking daily for years and then not smoking – Cold Turkey if you will – for half a month. It makes coming home a bit nicer after the down of leaving our boy and his family (including our Granddaughter), but I did not notice any withdrawal and I have withdrawn from narcotics before, I know what that is like intimately, and that does not occur when access to cannabis is not available. You also mentioned first that Cannabis was not addictive and then later you say THC is addictive. Those two ideas do not line up for me, but I may have misheard what exactly was said.
    I appreciate the effort and will continue to monitor your channel for new information. I have subscribed and liked. Good Luck!!!😎

  3. Is it true that too much thc can actually cause pain? Ive heard that you should use it like an adaptogen; taking breaks from using it actually makes it work better? Im asking because im dealing with constant pain and using canabis doesnt help anymore and I dont want to aggregate this issue.

  4. I took CBD for many months at high doses and it did nothing for my MS spasticity. When I transitioned to THC/CBD, that actually works. I take 1/2 gummie (5mg) in the early evening in florida, getting relief, although not total relief. Helps get me through the night. If I take more than that I get dizzy/sick.

  5. I've toked most of my 45 years after a heart attack plus another heart attack just last week,put in 2 stints.And still I fire it up,if I'm gonna go ,I'm going high as a jack rabbit. 😂

  6. I'm 51 years old. I have smoked marijuana since I was 13. From the ages of 18-45, I smoked every day. Now I only smoke a few times a week. I've used marijuana mostly to self medicate, especially once I got older. It was used more for recreational when I was younger, or so I thought. Even though I used it recreational, I later realized I needed it for medicinal purposes. It helped relieve anxiety and stress from dealing with a divorce during my childhood. I still use it today for stress and anxiety as well as for chronic pain from neuropathy I developed from West Nile induced encephalitis and meningitis. I think it is better to smoke the plant because the 500+ chemicals work in conjunction together better than just taking THC and CBD. There are many chemicals besides THC and CBD in the plant that offer relief for my pain and other issues. When they isolate those two chemicals, they lose many of the benefits that the plant has to offer. I live in a state that has not legalized it, so I have been using it illegally for my entire life. I haven't had any problems, only benefits, to my health after using it for 38 years. It's a shame that it is still illegal in over half the states in the US. I would recommend it to anyone who is in pain or dealing with mental issues. There are 0 side effects and no overdosing compared to pharmacuticals.

  7. Dr , you say cannabis medicinal variety is not the first port of call for treating CHRONIC PAIN . OK then – What are better safer alternatives , please ! I hope they are not prescription drugs obtained via a pharmacy though ! .I am currently taking CBD & THC medical cannabis ! ( Kenneth / Napier / NZ )

  8. That was the best explanation I have heard About cannabis but I still don’t know what or how to purchase CBD broad-spectrum for my sciatica and stenosis pain. I don’t think a cream would work because where would I put it if someone could help me I would be so appreciative.

  9. I'm now 75 years old, I was a weed smoker in the 60s but gave it up mid 70s. Today I have already had 6 back surgeries starting in 1970 to last year. The Last surgery did not help, it created other problems. I also have COPD so can't smoke at all. I tried taking some very good bud and filled some 20 mg caps to ingest the weed. No, it doesn't get me high but it does help me with the old folks sleeping problems. I no longer wake up every couple hours and that get up to go pee at 3 or 4am no longer happens. I ran out or the bigger caps and gave the 10 mg caps a try. It still works, just not as well! I wake up pain free and can get around a lot better. I just started to grow my own again. SSI does not pay well enough to buy mother nature from a clinic! I never dreamed I would be growing weed again. I just wish the pain would go completely away. Maybe I'll grow my hair long again and start wearing a robe??😅

  10. Cannabinoids are a group of compounds found in the cannabis plant, including THC and CBD. These compounds have potential therapeutic properties and may be useful in treating various conditions, including chronic pain, anxiety, and epilepsy.
