I’m about to try medical cannabis (whatever that contains I don’t know) here in Au. Happy to give it a try, considering opioids suppress breathing critically (I have diaphragm palsy and damage to the breathing centre in my brain, so each breath is a wakeful, conscious effort with purpose, and thus anything slightly suppressing ability to breathe is catastrophic - but try getting a pain ‘doctor’ to wrap their siloed mind trap around that one, haha! I’d have better luck lifting busses with one arm), and I’ve had increased nerve pain with gabapentin along with some almighty hallucinations way beyond anything else I’ve ever experienced with an administered drug (like anaesthesia, for instance)…gabapentin was like chemically induced torture, actually. Tried others, have had acute kidney failure, so it’s moving on time to Mary Jane for me.
I’ve smoked it a couple times when pass the dutchie was in vogue, back in the day, and never had any high feeling; only a sense of less pain. So I’m hoping that same effect happens with whatever mystery bag turns up courtesy Au Post.
