Chronic Pain

[slyfox339]

Does anyone in NM suffer from Chronic Pain related to Back and Neck injuries.
If so, can you please state which Cannabis strand has been the best for your chronic pain.

Do all providers charge the same price for the same amount of Cannabis strands? Is the price set by the State does anyone know?

THanks for any and all help.

From what I understand, strains rich in CBD are great for pain releif. This is a relativley new finding.
Im not sure what strains are offered currently in NM.

[slyfox339]

I am sorry I am new to this, what does CBD mean? How do you know if the strand that you buy has this CBD?
Thanks fOR THE hELP

I find that green dragon works the best for my lumbar spine pain. I have 4 disks bad and I get good relief from the tincture. Also just heard about a balm made from the roots that sounds very promising, will be making some of that soon and will post back on it. Good luck in your quest for relief.

Cannabidiol (CBD) is a cannabinoid found in cannabis.(Another cannabinoid is THC). A good dispensary SHOULD have their cannabis tested for percentage levels of these cannabinoids as well as tested for molds and other harmful stuff. Right now Im on the outside looking in on the NM medical cannabis scene so Im not sure if this is a common practice or not here in NM. Can any body here tell us if any NM dispensarys are having there medicine tested?

So to help answer your original question I will ask around and do some research to try to find out what strains are known to have high % CBD. If im not mistaken there is a blueberry strain that has a high CBD percentage. But I will be back with some suggestions to look for.

PS dont worry about asking questions thats what this place is supposed to be for.

i think the berry strain you are refering to is KUSHBERRY OG KUSH X BLUEBERRY.... theres a CALIFORNIA dispensiary that offers this medicine that is really high cbd (if i am not mistaken, it is probably the highest that has been tested so far). DNA offers this seed/strain, but i don't know if its comparable to the specific strain at the cali clinic. anyone else have more info on this strain? If i ever get my card and my personal production liscense i would love to try out this strain. *praying today is the day*

I ALSO HERE JACK HERER is a great strain for pain as well...any info on that one?

Is green dragon the common name or this a Co name?

[lovemyhens]

Green dragon is a tincture, from what I read in a google search...sounds like it may be very beneficial. Ihave been dealing with pain for 10 year, I am so ready to try new treatments.

I suffer from chronic pain Mainly a headache for 2 years and 2 months followed with uncontrollable random muscles spasms and, severe nausea, and widespread pain. What i like to say is that i am perfectly healthy mess. Every single test or treatment came back completely normal i am perfectly healthy but then again im not. I have tried quiet a few strains some will work for one problem but not all. So far the one that i have found to work the best is Maple Berry. I dont know anything about it other then it is helping with the pain. I still havent found one to help with pain and nausea at the same time. Train wreck for me was horrible i seriously felt like i was hit by a train. I didnt think my pain could get any worse until i smoked that. So i am not a fan of train wreck. I plan on trying some lemon sour diesel tomorrow so i will update tomorrow after i have given that a good run.

Thanks for your imput, I am going to keep Maple Berry in mind and maybe I will try it first and see if it will help me.

there is some smoke that made my pain worse! i thought i was crazy, but it happens more with the mexican dirt weed. i rarely see high grade around these parts. I also hope to find the right one for my pain.

Its really funny you say that becasue the mexican dirt weed worked great for me and i used to be able to find it whenever i needed it but my guy got out of the game and now i cant find it. So far the trainwreck is the only thing that has done that. At first i thought i was just having a bad day i didnt think the weed could cause more pain, but i tried it again a few days later after the pain went back down to tolerable levels and within 10 minutes i was in excruciating pain again untill i tried the maple berry which took it all away again.

Ive been looking for high CBD strains for ya and havent came across to many. One name I have heard quite often is Romulan. I will keep my eyes open for ya. High CBD strains are not that popular yet because for years people have been breeding for THC. I think in the years to come we will see a lot more high CBD strains. I hope you find something that works for your pain before that!

The last time my friend talked me into trying some mexican dirt it just gave me a headache. Buy American. Dont support the murdeous cartels.

[MadSativa]

high CBD

their are many here are 2 off the top of my head, both very good and also high in THC, with super lemon haze being one of the highest in THC in the whole community. if your looking for those strains that don't get you high I am not to sure about that your still gonna feel some effects of herb which are good effects, happiness, munchies, and rest. Lol if one calls those side effects then what is normal sleep, normal happiness, and when we eat wouldn't that be side effect of living? what ever but heres some high CBD strains their are many more if you go to attitude seeds or Dr chronics seeds they have the strain and THC, CBD levels right on them so you can get a base line

White Rhino, Super Lemon Haze, Jack Herrer

one thing I have notice is some of these strains higher in CBD are sativa, which Mexican shwag is usually a sativa strain, maybe sativa can produce this CBD cause of the longer flowering times. I also know that if left to amber more or leaving the plant mature a little more than normal can also produce higher CBD levels in product, a possibility is that CBD is produced later in the stage of the plant

[GetThisOrDie]

I also suffer from chronic pain. Try looking for more indica dominant strains. 100% indicas have been the best for my pain. Afghan Kush specifically took away all my pain for a good while.

So look for indica dominant and if you grow your own let the trichs turn more amber before harvest like madsativa said.

If the starter of this thread is still seeking a high cbd strain in NM, you are probably out of luck. For info on cbd, go to projectcbd. They have a great site with all the info you need about cbd. I believe high cbd strains will be the answer to my chronic pain issues. High cbd strains are available in Ca and Co. The only ones available in seed now are Rock Bud and Cannatonic, though many more will be available before long. Your best choices for pain from NM dispensaries are probably Maple Berry, Romulan, White Rhino, and Mazar. I wish you the best.

ok it looks like you haven't tried or even heard of GRASS ROOTS RX? Well Blackie (the grower) is growing in my opinion some of the best meds around if not "THE BEST". He is breeding to try and get the highest cbd's ratio and thc ratio in his cannabis. I can give you names but I wouldn't be sure if those were the one high in CBDs but all you got to do is call them and Toni will be happy to assist you in finding the best meds for you. All you got to do is ask them what is high in CBD and helps with sever pain. :cool:

I've sent my info to Grass Roots but haven't heard back yet. Does he have his strains tested for cbd/thc? This is the only way to know if a strain is high cbd (over 4%). That's how CA dispensaries know that their True Blueberry x OG Kush has 14% cbd and 7% thc or that Harlequin has 4.96% THC / 7.53% CBD). I will call Blackie and talk to him about his strains. -

[ManOBuds]

As far as I know,testing is up to the individual Producers right now,but I think that the DOH is going to start testing soon.

[alfonso2002]

the problem with testing is that there is no equipment set up to do testing in new mexico but I'm sure the DOH will set something up in the near future

[StonerCasper]

I dont know for sure but I believe that John one of GR RX growers told me the % of thc and cbd in the medicine but juz call and any1 there will be glad to talk to you. call on a tuesday wednesday or Fridays after 10 are the best times to get an answer. there so busy you got to call them.

Stoner do you have any idea of how that testing was done.

As someone who suffers from Chronic Pain and PTSD the best strains I've for the pain are:

Willie Nelson (Not so much of a body stone, but gets your mind off it)

Nearly any Kush (Just about all are a great couch lock)

Sour Diesel (Again, Couch Lock)

Afgani - Excellent for lower back pain

Black Widow (Don't confuse with White Widow - White Widow is good for depression)

White Rhino

AK-47

Grapefruit

Blueberry

G13

Lemon Chemo

Lowryder

These are a few - basically you want a fairly high THC content (18%+) and something with a couch lock effect (aka full body high). I personally like the couch lock taken about 40 minutes before bed because it forces me to sleep soundly without tossing and turning causing more pain. A couple drops of tinture in the coffee in the morning, and take a couple home-made THC Pills with you during the day or bring your lunch and pack a lemon bar, cookies, or a brownie or 2. If you go with the edible method and you have to return to work it's best to bring along some breath mints - get Altoids so it can't be smelled on your breath. You should be able to smell the cannabis in the baked goods plain as day, if not than your either being ripped off if buying them since leaf is being mixed in with bud or your making it wrong. I make my own and only use bud in my cannaoil and butter. No leaf for me - I'd rather save the leave at harvest, freeze it and make bubble hash using the bag system.

I wonder how much of the "pain relief" is more, taking the edge off of the constant stress caused by being in constant pain? this has been my experience so far. I am very interested in developing a data base that is compiled of actual lab type documentation and observations instead of the current anecdotal data, that is the general consensus and knowledge base. I'm sure the current acceptance of cannabis, will be conducive to this task.
sorry to get off subject. So, as far as CBD's and the relief of cronic pain that CBD's may provide, does anyone have information as to the amount of relief and or the mechanisms involved in the dispersal of CBD's throughout the body?

Everybody has Cannabinoid Receptors in their body and the use of Medical Cannabis allows these receptors to fire faster while blocking other receptors that cause the body to feel pain (it's all in the brain). It's either that or it's the opposite - Cannabinoid Receptors are blocked - can't remember for sure. I did quite a bit of research on this when I was in College. I did a paper on it which included the way it works, the Nixon Report of 72', the War on Drugs, Cannabis being classified as a Schedule I Narcotic on the DEA Schedule (which we all know is B.S.) and many other areas.

Cannabis has been proven to help certain diseases and ailments which is why there are 13 states that allow the use of Medical Cannabis while there are others that are in the process of decriminalizing it. It's my belief that it will never become legal since that would make several of our past and present Presidents seem like they had no idea what they were talking about when it came to this issue (though we all know they had no idea - but everyone needs to realize that the Presidents weren't the ones doing the research - it was their "people" who provided them with misinformation). Case in point - the Nixon Report which was conducted by a team of scientists at the New York Academy of Science and it was found that Cannabis had no side effects, no addiction characteristics, among other positive results of their findings. Nixon decided that he was going to have the report changed to reflect all negative affects. Bear in mind - this was Nixon who couldn't be believed on anything - he could be holding a rock in his hand, tell you it was a rock, let you touch it, hold it, and it probably wouldn't have been a rock.
