I tore up some chips. I truly enjoyed being basically pain free.
That it self is a blessing.
All kidding aside when nurse Dawn asked if I hurt I said no with tears of joy. Nothing has gave my body relief like that.

Excellent!
Now you know the potential.
Next thing is figuring out what will work best for you.
You CAN figure out a plan that will manage the pain, without leaving you on the couch, obliterating a quart of Ben & Jerrys, while listening to Peter Tosh.
CBD only, CBD/THC combo, how to pass drug tests, learning to make your own, etc.

It will take a few months, but you can do it, and it will change your life.

Or, or... Just embrace the train to phuckered-upville... If you do what you did yesterday, but you do it at like 9 in the morning, way better experience... Darkness makes things all crazy...

More details.
Not enough means?
-you feel zero effects.....no buzz, no pain mgmt
-you feel slight effects, but no pain mgmt

Did you take 5mg, wait an hour plus, then another 5 mg?
Or, did you take 10 mg all at once?

If you did the 5+5, try taking 10 mg all at once before moving to 15 mg.

I'm also curious about the answer to all of those questions... 20mgs was clearly way too much... 10 should've been more than enough, even in 2 sets of 5... Of course, edibles are notorious for being unreliable in dosage... Could've gotten a dud...

Ok so 10mg has no effect. No pain management. I could feel a bit of a high feeling.

Took 20mg last night just like the first time. That's the ticket. I think this time I knew what was going on so the effect was good. The high wasn't as strong as the first one probably because I knew what would happen. Not sure. I overdid it yesterday. I'm sure today Might have to smoke some with the stepson today.

Being familiar with the effects will certainly allow you to "handle" a higher dose comfortably.
There's also the tolerance factor that you will need to monitor carefully over time, particularly if you're going to be doing edibles, and/or smoking daily.
Fortunately, unlike nasty pharma compounds, you can pretty much reset your MMJ tolerance rather easily by taking a break for a few days, or longer, or by micro dosing for a while, and other methods.
There's tons of info on the interwebs on this subject.
Really glad to hear you are getting some relief.
Edibles were simply a miracle therapy for me.

Know anything about marijuana "rosin"? Basically shatter without the solvent? Watched a video of it being made... Basically everything is thrown into a long,skinny, porous bag, placed between two steel bars that are at a controlled heat level, and then they press... The "rosin" then leaks out of the bag onto parchment paper...

Quite a simple yet impressive machine....

Action starts at about 18 minutes...

Oooo! I didn't think about that. The wife just bought me some cinnamon dulce latte K-cups and some cream to put in it.

Oh HECK Yeah! Late afternoon desert coffee with some OH YEAH in it and I am not talking about Kool-Aid 🍵


I appreciate the advice brother!🍺

That's a good tip, as well, here's a guide to help folks understand that the THC is just one component of a hundred plus Cannabinoids in the majority of standard medical strains. That is changing daily as more and more of the higher CBD type strains are utiilized and studied.

The temperature at which many of the trichomes will begin to vaporize is below 300 degrees F. Some start vaping off at around 160 to 180, so boiling water will cause some of the terpenes, etc to vape off prior to ingesting. A Bic lighter is around 600 degrees F, so much of the helpful chemicals are burned off before you can even breathe them into your lungs.

Here's some good basic info.

Well my experiment is over. I proved you can get a mmj card while holding a CDL. Also that the drug absolutely works.
At the time of stopping I would take 20mg when I got home. Then at bedtime I would sometimes smoke a little high CBD flower.
That evening I would be pain free and the next day I would take CBD drops in the morning and at noon. It would keep me conformable until late in the day.

To be truthful I would rather have people on the road high on MMJ than have them on good knows what from the pharmaceutical companies. I believe it's prescription drugs that cause wrong-way crashes combined with alcohol.

So... I have chosen to keep my job and be in pain for the rest of my life.
It is what it is and it's just mind over matter.
