Intros New to medical marijuana already helping tho

[immakingtime]

Hello all, I have just started medical marijuana with some trepidation as I am a recovered alcoholic. I have migraine with severe photophobia, psoriatic arthritis, anxiety, chronic stress and IBS. I am already getting relief for migraine and as preventative, no impact.on photophobia, but noticing a general improvement in mood and motivation. I am struggling to make sense of all the strains available and also wondering what the best alternatives to herb vaporizor is. I am getting lung discomfort but also want to make sure whatever I take is natural. What are people saying about sprays and oil?

Welcome, I am also photophobic and one thing I wanted to suggest (unlrelated to MC) is that I now wear FL-41 tinted lenses in my glasses all the time. Worth looking into as it makes the world a bit more bearable for me on that front

I have recently started using sub-lingual oil, you can find my recent comments about it on the 'What are you Consuming Today?' thread

Hello and welcome. Using a water bubbler with your vape can make it more tolerable on your lungs

 

[GrownHealth]

Welcome to the forum @immakingtime and as mentioned above a water bubbler can make all the difference for a few reasons with one being you are further away from the heat source and then add in the water cooling and this help me to take much deeper and effective drags through the vape .I'd also consider vape carts from what you have said as these can be very effective and I find work best when sipped so only light pulls on them and less strain on the lungs.

I'm using a Nectar Gold that I have borrowed but looking at at an X-max Pro 3, seems to be decent without breaking the bank. What do people recommend?

I've got the Xmax v3 pro, its a decent device and the bubblers for them work well . I got the bubbler from Aliexpress as it was much cheaper and the original part, if you get one get the dosing capsules for it, prolongs the device

Thank you, are the carts pure? I worry about the carrier. Also the doctor at CB1 Medical told me they were THC only so needed to be used with CBD which seems like a massive faff...?

There are three types of carts as in rosin ,resin and distillate with some distillate carts having Botanicals Terpenes mixed in but the rosin carts taste the nearest to pure I've had and have turned a few heads here with the quality of product but they are more expensive as the process to achieve rosin is a more expensive process to complete. The resin carts are lower quality to the rosin carts but better than distillate IMO .
The fact they say you need CBD in them only makes the distillate ones available to you so in hindsight it's probably down the pecking order for you for the reason it's the least pure often having terpenes mixed in .

Thread 'Migraines'

1st Jun, 2025

Evening all

I'm currently between medication - I always run out before the end of the month due to the shite efficacy of almost every strain.

However, during this break, I have not had a single migraine. During medication I get migraines almost every day, especially if I'm smoking or vaping a really old strain.

If I am supposed to be medicating for migraines, why the ing ell is my medicine causing more migraines than it relieves?

I get this from all brands, all growers, especially if it's brown and dry or with destroyed terpenes.

Just posting this to hope that I'm not alone. I spoke...

Hi All,
I had my initial Curaleaf consult sat 13th, paid for the prescription today, so a few more days and I’ll have my first MC. Also managed to get a travel letter issued as going to Portugal in a couple of weeks. So far so good!

First prescription is as I requested from the doctor in my initial consultation, 20g each of the following,
Safricanna Jack Herer
Safricanna Purple punch
Curaleaf Lavinder cake

I’ve seen some good feedback on the Lavinder cake but can’t find any reviews for the purple or the jack, I would be interested to know if anyone has tried them?

I suffer from...

I will show her today, she rang me last night as you and I were chatting on here. I read to her what you said about neck pain etc and she completely relates. She is going to get onboard MC. I will help her today. After me saying about how you feel with your neck etc she sounded almost relieved, especially when I said what helps for you. Do you find yours change with the seasons? She was saying she has had a hell of a week with it. Thank you again, I have heard hope in pats voice for the first time in six years after your msg I relayed to her.

I feel relieved also that she...

it depends on the vape you are using.

I have a table top arizer xq2 that I use with this

Thread 'Migraine/cluster/cervcogenic/vestibular headaches with cannabinoids'

7th Nov, 2025

I just like to make a dedicated post for migraine , cluster , cervicogenic and vestibular migraines with some studies and what might work and what doesn't

I have suffered with what i call generic migraines with aura since a child , these have went away and came back throughout the years and becoming worse 2023 since starting MC in feb i had seen around a 30% reduction maybe as much as 50% only to have a flare up recently caused by stress (DWP).

I was diagnosed roughly 2015 with cluster headaches which is a different type of headache with severe pain in the eye and this is a harder...
