Yes Strong Indica is what you want I use marijuana for pain myself actually same injury as you but adda a neck injury in there for mine=)... It definately helps.. I can't even take any pain medication now because Im so immune to it percocet, vicodin nothing works anymore even taking 10percocet at a time I can't feel anything..

Looks like I need to get some indica. I really want to try some and obviously cannot wait to grow some. I think I will ask my dealer if he can get some. Is there any way to tell a difference visually between indica and other types. I don't want to get screwed when trying to buy it.

Ok, I am going to drop my two cents in here. I Fragmented a vert, and herniated 3 disk in my back. Two years of surgies, Morphin, Vicodin, Percs, you name it. They even had me on anti seizer medications for muscle spasms. Also went threw physical therapy for 8 weeks, 5 days a week at 8 hours a day. Bud really helps to relax the muscles and also gets you mind off the pain. The only drug I have found that is truly a pain pill is Morphine, all the others just make you so stupid you forget about the pain, but it is still there.

Bud is by far the best way to go for Chronic pain that you will live with. Most of the pains from long term back injuries is caused be muscle spasm's, which Bud really works well on. I have also found that changing strains every once in a while helps. Almost like you build a tolerance to that strain. This I kind of doubt, but it sure seems that when I change strains, the effect is increased.

Also one of the best things to help with back injuries is walking and other excercises. so I do not like to much of a couch lock.

[quote=matt2364;382499]One question and a little personal background...
I have 2 herniated discs and am usually heavily medicated with pain pills (oxycotin, and percocet). I heard that you can harvest the weed at a certain point (crystals amber color? or something) that will make the weed more of a body buzz/pain killer than a head/mind trip.
Is this true?
Has anyone used it successfully as a pain killer?
If so, how difficult is it to do?
Are there any strands that are specifically known for pain killing/body buzz?[/quote

WHERE do you live? I have to know. Just the general continent alright.

HOW could you not have heard of Medical marijuana? Do you live on Wisteria Lane? Really....I've got to know here.(Not trying to be mean, bear with me on this) This is just friggen amazing......its a virgin...........



WHAH HOOO..................NOW IM NOT THE NEWBY ANYMORE!!!!!



Maybe my cookie is too big? Possible?

I can give you a recipe that will take all that horrible pain out of your back and give you your life back...guarenteed.

It saved my life. I can run my business, run my family, be actually very successful and enjoy life again without that nawing, biting, horrible pain that just won't go away. Your sex life comes back and you actually laugh again.

Just be careful and have a doctor following you closely please. It is easy to slip into the wrong state of mind and you need someone there to keep it in check.

I find there is no addiction because if the pain stops, you stop. I went to California during the fires.....oh thats another story...eeeeekkkk, anyways, the high heat really helped the pain. I was active and stopped every single medicine (7) and had nothing in my system for two weeks. This allowed me to really concentrate on what needed to be fixed. (The stuff they can fix) Helped cut the pain a little......and in our situation...a little is a lot.

PM me anytime

haha, I have heard of medical marijuana. I live in Ohio though...don't think it is legal here.

I would not mind hearing more about this magical recipe. The percocet and oxycotin is working well for me now, just need to figure something out before my tolerance gets too high...

Thank you for taking that post with the way it was meant...a little fun

The problem with those painkillers is that it kills your organs off and kills your brain with the chemical additives. I've worked very close with a Doctor in his clinic for MMJ and have learned so much.

Three years ago I was on 7 different medication including oxycodone, the F patch and morphine. I today am on very occassional oxy when the pain is really high. I take the cookies first. I've lost 35 pounds + and I am back in life. I know your pain, I really do. It is a horrible Mother in Law that just needs to be put out on the street.

my brother is a paraplegic, and he usually takes a few tokes every couple of hours of some "dank." he says it helps with the chronic pain and muscle spasms. like most people on here say anything natural is better then man made pills. just grow/buy the best possible pot you can.
