Is it just smoking that sets it off (as opposed to vaping or using, say, green dragon)? Nausea can be triggered by CO exposure- which smoking would have, but vaping has much less of, and eating has zero. Just curious. - Granny:hippy:

Thanks for checking in. :D Smoking doesn't provoke any symptoms whatsoever for me personally. It is usually after my first vomiting episode of the morning that a few pulls off of a water pipe sets me straight again. It's like an instant stomach hug. I would be in a constant state of nausea if I were not able to smoke. On days that I am unable, I go most of the day not eating. I've tried a few prescription meds for nausea (some I won't even describe how you take them... ugh). None have made a difference. I have another procedure this week, and I should have a better idea as to what is happening inside my gut. :thumbsup: A vaporizer is definitely on my wish list. No insurance and frequent hospital visits kind of prioritize my money for me. Oh well, there's always the lottery.... riiiiiiiiiiiiiiight. ;) Thanks everyone. Keep :jointsmile:
Gets little pain relief from toking, but gets a LOT of relief from eating cannabis. Have you ever tried eating some just before bedtime? Smoking has a shorter onset and relief period- eating takes 1 to 3 hours to "come on" and the relief lasts a lot longer. Might be worth a try! - Granny:hippy:
While trying to explain to many people about how I benefit from marijuana, they find it hard to understand. They are like, "Well, you've got weed... you smoke it... but you're not better? So doesn't that mean it doesn't work?" Not understanding the different reaction times, effect duration, etc. I feel that eating cannabis at night would GREATLY help me in the mornings. Unfortunately, with where I live and availability, I don't have the expendable medicine to do recipe experimentation. That may be the next step in my road to healthy living, and I will definitely be referring back to the recipe section for ideas. It's just one of those things where, at this point, the thought of potentially rendering even 1 gram of my medicine unusable would cause more problems than it would help. Again, I really appreciate all the advice. Sometimes just discussing it makes it that much easier to deal with. Have a great day everyone! :D
My neighbor suffers from almost daily vomiting and has for several years. I don't know her medical history, but I do know that she is on strong anti-anxiety meds for a psych condition, and that in periods of high stress, the vomiting is exacerbated. She swears by smoking as a way simply to keep food down. I recommended to her Hindu Kush (the most anti-anxiety strain I have available) and canna-caramels to dose when she can't smoke, and have been teaching her to grow.
I'd definitely look into caramels or another edible that is a high dosage compared to a small delivery size, which I'd suspect would be less likely to give you a gurglygut reaction. You can melt the caramels in your mouth so you aren't swallowing solid food, and even try taking them in the middle of the night so that you are medicated when you wake up. There's a recipe in my donkey dick grow log somewhere- I think page 5 or 6. You can make the butter using the 'washed butter' technique; start saving yur stems and shake, and if your dealer is a good soul maybe he or she will also save shake for you and cut you a deal on it. That's where I get a lot of shake for cooking- I happen to know a couple dealers who are compassionate towards the medical community and will either give it away or sell it at or below cost.
I knew there was a term for that. :rasta:Quote:

After re-researching CVS (thanks Storm) and seeing that Marinol was suggested for treatment, it sparked new thinking for me. I always kind of passed over the idea of cooking with it, because it was much more involved than just packing a bowl, and I always risked it not being effective enough. It wasn't broke so I didn't want to fix it. The brownies may not come out well, but that bong hit just worked in a flash. You know? After re-evaluating the overall benefit of the longer lasting and higher dose cooking preparations, I think I'm going to give it a go. Luckily, I have been saving stems and unsmoked leaves for about 3-4 months, so I'm off to the Recipe forums. Seriously, thanks to everyone who ventures onto this thread. Hearing about some dude throwing up everyday isn't the most riveting topic of conversation... I know.
Stay :D and Keep :jointsmile:
P.S. Any advice on prolonging the potency of stems and leaves when saving for cooking with? Sorry if there is a previous thread about this. I have class in an hour and I need to take a shower. :thumbsup:
This is extremely educational for medicinal value! Will continue to follow, I feel sad that Metal 1 is having such a problem and hope something above does help or something else comes out from this personal share! Really wish you lots of luck and feel deeply for your problem! It just shows us, we do need more research and medical data! I do hope it is coming down the 'pipe' soon!:hippy:
Vomitting all the time really does suck. Through my life I've gone through several long periods where I'd throw up a lot too, all from different causes... some diagnosed, others were mysteries.
Of the things I knew that affected me were: allergies, chronic sinus infections (with the lovely large amounts of drainage), continuous drinking of orange juice, migranes, and Crohn's. And I'm sure being fed all kinds of antibiotics contributed to my stomach's unease. Thank you, doctors, for giving me Crohn's and years of stomach problems.
But oh, those dirty migranes... Check into that too. You'd think that with a migrane you'd have extreme pain somewhere in your head along with feeling nausea and vomiting. But of course lots of times I'd get very dizzy and sick to my stomach with absolutely no headache with it. I didn't know about that until several years of suffering from them. Luckily medication over the years treated me for it and the allergies.
I really hope they can find a cause for what's making you sick, and that the cannabis will help you heal from it. Good luck with cooking!
Thanks everyone for your concern and support. Without going into too many specifics... I am now on a heavy duty nausea medication and, so far, it has eliminated all of my vomiting. It is really amazing to even go 3-4 days without symptoms. Anyway, I know it's not an amazing resolution to the original post, but I always read threads that just STOP........ like they have a bunch of info that gets you all excited to see how it turned out... and then it just dies. I figured I owed it to anyone that deals with these symptoms to wrap it up a bit. I'm not sure if pharmaceutical names are allowed to be posted on here so I will refrain. It has done amazing things for me in such a short time. :thumbsup: Thanks again for all the cooking tips too!!
I'm stuffed :jointsmile:
Stay :D and Keep :jointsmile:
