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?

get something that is heavilly afgany...
then yeah, make sure you really let it mature in flower...

that'll do you're boddy good

make some bubble hash, that's some more pain free pleasure...



eating bud also helps with body pain a lot too...

Yes, since almost all strains around are hybrids, the indica-dominant hybrids are the kind you want. And the best way is to eat some, and then smoke/vaporize a little as needed.

2 Questions:
1. What exactly is bubble hash?
2. How much bud would I have to eat to be pain free, I know that is subjective. What has worked for you guys?

bubble hash is a very good form of hash made by removing the trichs from mj in ice water and then filtering out the bad stuff from the good stuff with different sized screens... leaving you with a very pure, delicious product

very high grade... it'll bubble when you put a lighter to it and if you pull the flame away... the bubble will harden and retain its shape but become quite transluscent...

mmmm


and for eating.... it really depends, i'd go for 1/2 gram amounts first, and bump it up to gram doses if you need a lil more...

cooking with mj is kind of an art... part science too.. haha...

cannabutter is one of the best things to make... you can measure how much butter is mixed with how much weed to approximate doses... i think a good ratio of bud to butter is like 1 oz. of bud into 1 lb of butter....

i'm starting to ramble... there are cooking sections of the forums, and even a grow faq section! http://www.rollitup.org/view.php?pg=...category&id=75

hope that helps some...

Thanks alot, that definitely helps! I will let you know how it goes. I have finals all this week, but a friend of mine and I are planning on making some brownies after finals. Mmmmmmm.....

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..

try methadone and fentanl patches indica is the only added herbal helper that actually works

wow dude i also have bad bad problems with my back ,i was on opiates for 2 solid years went to rehab to get off them and ill never touch them again.thanks to my lovely ladies, pure indicas and hybrids are excellent for cronic pain. for my bad days i eat a couple cookies made with cannibutter , eating it is the best for long lasting pain relief . right now im tring to make thc drops to even simplify it. Peace
