New here.....from UK

Hi everyone,

My name is Stuey and I'm from the UK, nice to meet you all.

I suffer with fibromyalgia & nerve pain and have been on a lot of drugs for the last five years. I take, tramadol, gabapentin, diclofenac, diazepam and have been increasing the levels gradually to help me cope. I also use morhone patches and oromorph.

I dont smoke or drink but many people use weed to medicate and I am willing to look at it - investigate it, if you will.

I have been given a joint tonight to try but if I do find weed is a good (and potentially less damaging) is there a better way to get it into my system other than smoke it? Excuse my ignorance but I really am clueless! :smokin:

If anyone can gove me some advice I would be grateful.

Im looking around the boards - thanks for your help

hi m8 im from the u.k noticed you hadnt even had a reply.
the americans dont seem to like us much lol

anyway how did you find the joint?

the best way to medicate as they call it is to either cook with it or use a vaporiser but there quite expensive.
so you could just use a pipe or bong etc

try getting a decent medicinal strain to,as your from the u.k look out for all the glass/sprayed weed as that will do you no favours.

any questions or if theres anything on your mind fire away.

:hippy:

The best way to ingest weed without smoking is medibles. They are not that hard to make. Mainly cook butter water and weed at a low temp (below 300 F) for 8 - 24 hours. Squeeze the mess through cheese cloth and cool. The water at the bottom will be of no value and should be tossed. Use the butter to make your favorite cookie or other buttery snack.

I use two ounces of quality trimmings that is about 25% tiny buds that are not worth cleaning for each pound of butter.

The quickest and one of the easiest ways to eat pot is to go to the store and buy the ready made cookie dough. Grind up the weed and poke a small amount into the dough and cook the cookie as directed. Fast effective and easy.

Cheers and hope this helps. rud from CA
