Cannabis for post surgical pain, in the ass.

[Deeze]

Not long ago I had a colon surgery for a removal of a mass.

No big deal but the pain was otherworldly.

They gave me a TON of narcotics, valium, soma and other nonsense.

This was in the US.

The thing about the narcotics is that they back you up and it feels like passing a brick when you drop deuce.

I came off all the crap with the use of some hydro I got there.

Ive been smoking for 22 years but its mostly been shitty brick weed from mexico.

Im an active guy and love to exercise and this gave me my life back.

Theres no way I could be doing what I am without it.

All the pills they gave me made me want to eat a bullet.

It was like a job going to the pharmacy.

 

I say if you need it you need it.

Do whats right for you and fuck the risk.

I would rather have a criminla record from getting busted with my paltry amount than live like a pill zombie who cant poop.

 

Thanks for reading.

Hahahaha! At first glance I thought that you were talking about using cannabis as a suppository! Hahahaha!

 

I totally agree with your attitude though, and I'm sure that most people on these boards will too.

 

Smoke on buddy,

#1 'Gold Standard' Studies Show That Inhaled Cannabis Is Medicine

The results of a series of randomized, placebo-controlled clinical trials assessing the efficacy of inhaled cannabis concluded that it is safe and effective compared to conventional medications, according to the findings of a 24-page report published in February by the California Center for Medicinal Cannabis Research. "This (report) confirms all of the anecdotal evidence – how lives have been saved and pain has been eased," said California Democrat Senator Mark Leno at the press conference announcing the findings. "Now we have the science to prove it." Read the full story at: http://norml.org/index.cfm?Group_ID=8106.

Montreal, Quebec: Inhaled cannabis reduces pain and improves sleep compared to placebo, and is well tolerated by patients with chronic neuropathy, according to clinical trial data published this week in the Journal of the Canadian Medical Association (CMAJ).

 

Investigators at McGill University in Montreal assessed the efficacy of inhaled cannabis on pain intensity in 23 subjects with chronic post-traumatic or postsurgical neuropathic pain in a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled crossover trial. Participants in the study received a single inhalation of 25 mg of 9.4 percent herbal cannabis or placebo three times daily. All of the volunteers in the study suffered from refractory pain for which conventional therapies had proven ineffective.

 

Researchers reported: "[H]erbal cannabis ... significantly reduced average pain scores compared with ... cannabis placebo in adult participants. ... We found significant improvement in measures of sleep quality and anxiety. ... Our results support the claim that smoked cannabis reduces pain, improves mood, and helps sleep."

 

Speaking with Web MD, the study's lead researcher Mark Ware said: "We've shown again that cannabis is an analgesic. Clearly it has medical value."

 

In February, investigators from the California Center for Medicinal Cannabis Research summarized the results of four separate FDA 'gold standard' designed clinical trials demonstrating that inhaled marijuana was safe and effective for the treatment of neuropathy.

 

An estimated one to two percent of the population suffers from some form of neuropathic pain, which typically goes untreated by standard analgesics.
