hey all

my dad has really bad arthritis (basically all throughout his body) and bad nerve pain from a very bad spine (ex-furniture removalist- years of work took its toll) and sometimes can barely move. he is on about 5 different pain medications, all scripts needing government authority to be written here in aus (ie oxy etc).

anyway i want to hit up a seed bank and see what i can do to help him out. he doesn't want the high, just the pain relief. i'm thinking a high cbd strain would be the way to go? i have only just recently started looking into the medical side of mj so any suggestions strain wise would be much appreciated. will be placing an order within the next 2 weeks to get ready for our outdoor season :)

thanks

BDS has a new strain for pain, is good for hydro too. Dunno if your local seed bank has it yet or not but can check out at "mary janes reviews" in my signature if you want.

Check out the "CBD crew"

They are a part of Resin Seeds...Shantibaba knows his stuff. His strains will bring a good ratio of CBD to THC.

A mess myself.. having been on Morphine es 60mg 3x per day.. I know what he is going thru.
Spent over 5 years on OXY starting at 5mg all the way up..

I made a choice about 2 years ago.. (now 42 myself) that all the meds they can give me.. wont make me any healthier.. wont stop all the pain wont do anything but drain my $$ and my time left here.

Society now 100% is ok with any of you getting all the narcotics you want.. yet.. you smoke pot and your VILE..

it came down to a few things..
price
and future well being.... been seeing a chronic pain dr and others since 1991.. have DDD + surgery on knees shoulders etc diagnosed with more issues then a KIA after 80k miles


what I did was start using medibles.. take 1 gram decarb it this makes it now worth say 2-4x as potent.
medibles and smoking had it not been for this..

I doubt.. I would be typing this.


Pain is not 100% gone.. nor does it make me all "HIGH".. been married for 17 years and well the wifey and kidlets wont allow me to be all hoped up on goofballs and weird acting.. and this has not done that..

try medibles higher cbd-cbn stuff.. thc is not a factor in pain relief.. I like the kush strains ..esp bubba (tho my medibles pref is orange crush)


leafly.com has reviews. on strains as well..

dont let him stay on the narco's!!

A strain called "Ingrid". I picked it up at River City Phoenix in Sacramento. Works wonders for my back pain.
