When pot is not enough

[FreeMaryJane]

This time of year in Oklahoma is very hard on my medical conditions, the rainy season is here in full force & so is the inflammation & pain!
Sometimes marijuana is just not enough to control the pain... and this year since they took my "meds" away I am really having a rough time... although I am able to give my body a dose of THC almost daily it is not enough to control the pain that I am in...
I thought it would be nice for us all to share what other things we do to help ease the pain & suffering when pot is not enough...
I like very hot baths, that is because part of my problem is a lack of circulation & really hot baths seem to help the circulation in my hands & feet...
I also like meditating on something good in my life... my main focus is my relationship with the LORD Jesus & my grandchildren, this also helps to take my mind off the pain which helps to ease it just a bit...
Please if any of you have ideas you would like to share that helps when pot is not enough I would love to hear them...

dude, I can relate. during the really cold winter here, sometimes it got pretty bad.

I have a playlist on itunes that is titled "pain". it's some of the heaviest metal rock and roll, no thrasher, but heavy. I put the head phones on and turn it up as loud as it goes.

it can block out everything. or it can't. but more often than not, it blocks out everything in my head, allowing me to just be for a few minutes at a time. in a way I guess it's like meditating with a mantra.

hang in there dude.

start cooking with Pot/hash/oil/keef

or eat it in 1 spoon of food (to not make the rest taste like weed)
can last 4 to 6 hrs ..... toke as needed to keep you happy

another thing I do when my feet and fingers, is mix my meds. we never have just one kind of med going any more. I made that mistake one time and I'll never do that again dude. smoking the same med for almost four months. by the end, I had a huge tolerance built up.

plus we also only have indicas. plus mrs wakka built me a kief box, and until recently I had some truly awesome oil. a small bowl of two kinds of indica, a drop of oil and a pinch of all indica kief, and even on my worst night, it was fucking good night wakka.

almost narcotic feeling. all those different meds hitting you at the same time. fucking bam dude. so if you can mix a couple of different kinds of meds, it has worked for me.

Just spent an hour in traction here trying to aline my spine some at 3:30 am :mad:

mix'n meds is a good thing and can be of some help.... hash coffee is good at this hour :)

music works for me as well, as i can get lost in it for a bit... the pain doesnt go away but the mind gets side tracked away from it

reading a book helps me as well (Stephen king freak here)

at time's nothing will work and I just curl up in a ball and cry myself to sleep

I appreciate everyone's suggestions in dealing with pain...
IF I had enough marijuana to cook with or make hash with I would definitely do that, I love the buzz that comes from cooking with marijuana.
We use to make bubble hash with the trim from our stuff when we were growing, it was great... I would love to have more of it.
I would actually like some ideas on how to deal with pain that does not involve marijuana, reason being is that it is just not to easy for me to get good quality mj right now.
Also for the record I am a 53 year old grandmother... so not a dude ;) more of a dudette

This thread has helped me alot right now...I think the hardest part was accepting that it is the changing weather, and perhaps won't always be that bad....and yes, I need cookies on hand from now on.

I finally cranked the tunes and got some kahlua and weed floating in my coffee, plenty of good links to read. Thanks all of you for your help, especially to those that listen to me complain in private.

:mosh:

where's Cranky when I need him.:o
