Marijuana has no effect

Posted by coolrufus @coolrufus, Apr 15, 2017

I'm well versed in medicine but has anyone heard of a condition that prevents a person from feeling THC and CBD from marijuana? Out of frustration I consumed 100mg of very high quality THC and felt nothing.

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Chronic Pain Support Group.

I have tried to respond to your post 3 times prior to this time, and each time it suddenly disappeared. I hope I get this posted this time. I have tried marijuana over the years but mostly not for pain. Now that I'm 68 years old, I am considering using only marijuana to deal with my chronic pain. I have only 2 times when I had no effect from smoking marijuana. The very first time, I smoked I felt nothing. The only other times were when it was very low grade marijuana. So, despite your being told or thinking you had high grade marijuana, you probably didn't. Also I took your saying you "consumed" it to mean you had some edible that had pot in it. My experience with eating a chocolate that contained marijuana was that I got so high it scared me. Edibles seem to be much more powerful than tincture, or smoke.

I am currently working on weaning off all my prescribed pain medications because of their powerful side effects. Just the fact that I'm having to withdraw slowly tells me I shouldn't be taking the meds. My pain doctor seems unhappy with me since I told him I wanted to stop taking them. He has been no help in my efforts, not giving me any information about how to withdraw. I am relying on my pharmacist and this Mayo Connect site to learn how slowly I need to withdraw from each medication. I'm already off the Gabapentin, and I'm currently working on the Baclofen withdrawal which I should be free of by the end of this week. Then I'll start on withdrawing from Tramadol. At that time I plan to switch to marijuana, which is legal in California where I live. I know I won't have to withdraw from it, and I will be taking the kind that doesn't make me high. I just want the pain relief, and I know it works for my pain.

Good luck with your use,and with hearing back from some other people on here who have much more knowledge of marijuana than I do. Gail B

I also have tried vaping & edibles with absolutely no effect. Didn't even cure a headache. Didn't make me sleepy. Nothing. Why is this happening?

I have severe peripheral neuropathy in my feet and the pain is excruciating. Today is my first day taking Kratom, and so far, so good. Pain is manageable. Not bad at all. But today is literally, my first day on Kratom. Too soon to judge. God willing, it will help regularly! Lori Renee

@gailb Hello, I know it’s been a long time since you posted this, but I am wondering if your transition to medical marijuana was successful. I hope it was!

I have tried medical marijuana, but it didn’t help with my pain. It only made me sleepy. I have tried several different types of it. Recently, my state made smokable medical marijuana legal. After seeing a recent tv program, Pot vs. Pills, with Dr. Sanjay Gupta, I am considering trying smokable medical marijuana. The people in the program successfully went from opioids to smokable marijuana. They seemed to be doing quite well. That was encouraging to see because the only thing that helps me now are pain meds which I would like to get off of.

Thanks for any information you can share.
