Oh, Ive already learned all that stuff. I was researching it for over a year before actually trying some. Unfortunatly I live in a state that doesnt have MMJ. But, ive tried everything, and nothing helps as much as marijuana. I dont have a dealer. I have like 3 friends who get it for me. I have no idea where they get it, and they probably get it from a friend too. The kind I had before and the kind I have now both look the same. Small buds, kind of hard. This one I have now smells better than the other though. But, I have no idea which kind it is. Both feel pretty much the same. I think the other was maybe stronger or something. Idk. I smoked more the other day, and it helped more. It doesnt make the pain go away completely, but it makes my muscles relax, and it numbs my body up a bit, so I dont feel the pain as intense. Its also really helping with the nausea. Only problem is, sometimes I dont feel like smoking. But, I dont want to mess with cooking it or anything like that, because I dont trust that method. It takes like an hour to kick in, and you dont really know how much is in it.lol I also cant afford a vaporizer. Would a bong be better? I use a small pipe right now. Thanks for the help.
