Hey Twist. Keep smoking the herb. And check into CBD also. You can get some that has 1 to 1 ratio of CBD and THC. I also vape and do the CBD thing. I’m currently going through Chemo and other another treatment and it helps a ton. I smoke the Indica strain (hope I dont get into trouble for this!!!). Lol. I have read a lot about this. I know one thing. I know more about pot than my former Doctor knew about Effexor!!!!!!! The way I’m looking at life right now is “whatever makes you feel better. In that I mean feel better being off pharmaceuticals. Medical weed is amazing. I have only lost 10 lbs in 2 months. All in my legs. I had gone from playing hockey, cycling 20 Kms a day and also walking my dog for an hour a day to nothing!!!!!!!! Lost most of the muscle I had worked so hard to build. My wife has never ever smoked dope in her life and had encouraged me to go see my Dr for med marijuana. I dont regret it for one instant. She’s an awesome cook and encourages me to have a puff about 1/2 hour before we eat. What a doll!!!!! So one min I dont feel hungry and the next I have a plateful. Hahaha. So put one foot in front of the other there T and go for it. You will feel better in time!!!!!! Just look in the mirror, smile at yourself and TELL YOURSELF you will be allright!!!!!!’

You hang in there, too, Shaker! I’ll be 65 in April (4/20, I swear) and have been around weed for a long time. What’s out there now is nothing like what we had in the 70’s. The therapeutic benefits are huge for so many ailments now. I’m happy to hear what it’s doing for you, too. With the opioid crisis in full swing, I wish more people knew that there are alternatives for pain. At one time I had four prescriptions for opioids. The doctors just kept giving me more and my kidneys paid the price. I know about CBD, too. You can get it anywhere now, which is great! (I’m wondering if CBD will help brain zaps.) I’ll see you on the other side, Shaker. We’ll both be feeling great and walking our dogs. 🙂
