Med users?

[Buster]

Hi all, this is my first post in the med users forum so a big hello

 

I have never really thought of myself as a med user, rather a recreational user but I do suffer from backache and have done for some time. I noticed the other day that while pottering around having just smoked a J I realised that having a smoke has never really made my back feel any better, infact I would go as far as to say that because of the muscle twitching effects of my weed it has made it feel worse at times?

 

The weed I have right now is as sativa as sativa gets I rekon, if I smoke before I go to bed then I'm not getting to sleep for another 3 hours and a very trippy 3 hours it is too.

 

Could it be that my weed is too sativa dom?? I'd like to hear from some people who do get good pain relief from toking and what sort of effects they notice from the strains of their choice.

 

Thanks,

Sativas grow quite well indoors, they just need a lot more maintanence and or pruning to compensate for them being lankier. I cut the shit out of one to keep as short as my indicas and got a good yield of solid buds, but only let it go 9 weeks, so it was far from ideal. If you can wait 12 - 13 weeks, you could do it comfortably indoors, just bend the stalks a lot to keep em shorter and thicker. Sativas also get those golfball on a stick type buds, as opposed to the long donkey dick indica buds, so I think the main reason indicas are indoor preference is higher yield and less pruning / trimming needed.

Hmmm Im going to try a couple of Kiwi green and coromandle Gold and see what happens then,

 

I Like a sativa smoke, I find too much indica makes me depressed and non-clear thinking.

Hey All,

This winter's been a bad one for me, my first really painful one anyway. Had an accident at work 3 1/2 years ago, have had 2 ops on my R wrist. Overdue for another one, but I'm too scared too get it sorted out, I have an infant son that needs his mum!! Being pregnant only made my hands ten times worse I reckon. Got rhuematism and carpal tunnel problems. Recently, only last winter, I started having these weird ass spasms in my hands. It was only whenever my hands went from warm to cold suddenly (Shower, getting something outta the fridge/freezer) that it would happen. Never forget the first time, just hopped outta the shower and drying off when they started to tingle. I looked at them, and within 25-30 seconds, they had gone from normal, to bright blue, then they turned pure white and thats when it started making me piss. That lasted for at least 15 seconds, then all of a sudden the blood rushed back into my hands and they turned brick red. Relief! Frightened the absolute shit outta me, and my partner who was watching with his gob on the floor. Hurts like hell. Took me a little while to go to the doc, who told me it was something called "Raynauds Phenomenon" or "Raynauds Syndrome". I've just sat there like WTF ..............

Anyway, they're still pissin' me off, and I started growing my own instead of buying off seedy dealers. I currently grow white widow, but I'm thinking about switching to AK-47. I've actually found that ww makes me very aware of the pain in my hands instead of helping to release it. I've been smoking a bit of AK-47 as well as ww and the AK wins hands down!! It's awesome for pain relief, totally blows you away. I smoke buckets, so I gotta go easy on it, or I end up with that dribbling stare-blankly-with-your-gob-open-at-the-tv stone that just glues your ass firmly to your seat (or bed!)

If AK-47 is so good why not get a hold of AK47XC99 that aussieSPC had for awhile?

For 2 resons:

#1. Don't have anywhere to get them sent to, haven't got a P.O box yet.

#2. Don't have the coin at the moment, have other commitments.

 

And the fact I can get a pretty wide range of good clones for anywhere between $25-$50 if I have to go through someone I don't know, to free if I get them off some of our mates. I was actually considering getting those very clones in the next 2-3 weeks, but stonedas has posted that spc won't be taking orders until christmas/new year, so I guess that also makes it kinda hard too...........

hey chev, you ever tried making hash? I've seen a lot of med users comment that hash is a lot more effective than plain buds. If you can't afford the hash bags some nylon stockings and a couple buckets would probably do the job. Or a computer anti glare screen (courtesy of Robbie GanjaSeed), or silk shirt. Basically any kind of fine screen. Just mix up your buds/trim with ice, scoop up/strain out bulk material and filter water through screens. Scrape hash off screen, dry, and enjoy.

I got this from an article at overgrow.com, "How to make ice hash for less than a $5 outlay"-

 

A piece of polyester monofilament fibre mesh - 30 cm x 30 cm, (1 ft x 1 ft), 100 lines per inch mesh or " 100 mesh " (approx. 155 micron size), available from all screen printing/art shop supplies and from online ....

Note:

Don't use pantyhose material or silk scarves because the hole openings may not be the right (consistent) size to allow all the resin heads to fall through and keep most of the vegetative matter out ....the correct screen mesh with monofilament fibre strands is the most important aspect of any ice hash collection method - get the correct mesh, a small piece will last for years

I've been looking EVERYWHERE for some, but I can't get any AT ALL!! So you guys reckon the above methods work? I've only smoked hash once, the stuff was made in one of those "Magic Herb Bags", and it was awesome!! I was trashed This was only a few weeks ago, so I've been checking it out ever since. I want one of those bags, but maybe in a few months..... I want to give it a go the screen way first. And yes, the hash definetly worked for me!!! ::

Hey there chev, give honey oil a go, it might give that extra kick. There's a few threads here about the subject, so check it out. I find one honey-oil laced cone ends all my back pain for several hours. The only problem is that it also completely stones you. Could be worse side effects, but you may want to take it easy with a little one around the ankles... Cheap and easy to make too.

 

Also, taking your time in harvesting (I know that can be a hard thing to do.... )and allowing plants to mature a little more can also assist in creating a more "couchlock" stone, it might help with the pain a bit for ya. Give it a try, you may find a strain with little pain relieving qualities harvested at peak may actually make a great painkiller if left for an extra week for the CBD to build up...

hey checkout the hash forum, a couple of people have posted cheap hash how tos with homemade stuff

[Chev]

Hey thanx, you guys are the best!

I think I could have left it that extra week, and I know I should have! It's a pretty wicked headstone, gets ya ripped, and I can still function.

I've just made a huge batch of ice hash, used a stocking. I'll let you know later how it turned out... I had plenty of tip and leaf, had some already sitting in the freezer to add to this harvest's lot!

I'm revegging like you Luke, gotta get to your thread more often. Never seem to have any time these days!! Did your plants go a little crispy sort of a couple of days after you turned the lights back up? I can see new growth now (I think!), and my plant wasn't too bad after harvest, I only flushed for 5 or 6 days so it didn't get too damaged by it all suprisingly. And another question for you- Do you think I can get a better yeild this time around? The difference this time:

1.I have them going under a 400w hps (son-t-agro) instead of a 400w metal halide globe running off a 250w mercury vapour ballast

2.Added one of those additives by dutchmaster that you can use through out your grow, to my normal one part solution.

3.Going to try out the scrog method, and twist-tie training.

4.Will be using the Heavyweight soluble potash stuff from the start of my flowering cycle, not discovering it when I'm 4 weeks off harvest!

5.Added a small fan to the inside of the cupboard.

6.Already added 2 airstones towards the end of the last grow.

Gotta see what all this scrog fuss is about! Do see how it works, it's got to if you do it right
