Newbie questions

Hi. I'm a cannabis novice and have just secured a recommendation to help relieve chronic migraines. I visited a dispensary and smoked my first cigarette yesterday.

I'm not a smoker and therefore didn't like the smoke much -- it clogged my sinuses which didn't help the headache I was experiencing at the time. I'd like to get a vaporizer as soon as possible.

I was told by a salesperson at a hemp shop where I bought a pipe, that the first few times I try cannabis it might make me feel worse. I wonder, how long does it take for a newbie to find cannabis effective for pain treatment?

Also, does anyone out there use cannabis for migraine relief? Do you use it regularly or only when experiencing the migraine?

Thanks.

Yes it realives migranes. You might not get high the first 1-7 times you smoke. For me I got high the 3rd time I smoked. After you get high it will take away your headache. You also said ciggarete. Did you mean ciggarete because you mixed tabbaco with weed? If you did tabbaco might give you a headache. You will get used to the smoke. Try out a bong. Vapes are good too but they give a little diffrent high. I would try everything and see how you like it. Stay away from blunts they might give you a headache. I love blunts always smoke em but somtimes i get headaches. :thumbsup:

zzdank, thanks for responding to my email! I haven't gotten high yet so I'm glad to know it could take up to 7 times. Thanks for the bong recommendation too. I'll check them all out.

I think I should have said I smoked my first joint rather than cigarette. I'm still getting used to all the terminology.

Glad i helped. I almost gave up on smoking because i kept inhailing smoke and did not get high. Am sure you will get high before 7 times but in some cases it can take that long. keep toking and eventually you will feel it.:jointsmile:
