Help 1st Dispensary trip

Oh....the medical program monitors your use and it is limited to 2oz per month. So if you can spend 750-1000 per month, you can enjoy your 2 oz of product each month
 
What's up with the anti blue dream crowd? It's so prevalent I'm even drawn in I only smoked it a few time was not impressed.
 
Blue Dream is a medicinal strain. If you have been smoking home grown, or street weed it will seem weak as shit to you. But if you are looking for an introductory smoke, or a strain you can smoke all day long while working it is not a bad strain at all. It helps with alot of things it just is not a good recreational strain.
 
Thank you everyone for chiming in. I walked in there feeling confident & left there feeling even better. I sat down with the pharmacist & she helped me narrow things down. I was shocked that I can get up to 4oz a month, now if I just had that kind of cash 😉. I got everything my list, plus some but I did not go over my budget. Unfortunately no edibles sold here. I was impressed that they told me not to waste my money on their tinctures & told me to buy a cheap vape pen first to see if I even like it. I left there walking on air, knowing I bought weed legally! And as soon as I got home I started sampling 😆 I have favorites already Sour Tangie, Grapefruit Durban & Malawi Memory Loss 😵 It's all very dry though, the buds feel almost crispy, is that normal?
Most of all I feel as if I am taking my life back. I had been on many meds for many years because of my spine but we found the right Drs who helped me find alternative medicines & get rid of the opiods. All my Drs are supportive & my neurosurgeon is so impressed with the cannabis he's going to reccomend it to other patients. Sorry 4 rambling, just very excited & happy. And I can't wait to go back. Thank you again for all the great advice. ☮ namaste
 
Hey Glitterfarm,

enjoyed reading that.... great that you made such wonderful progress. I have an older friend that uses fentanyl patches to reduce nerve pain and frankly, I tried getting her to an alternative medical physician to try getting this under control and getting rid of those patches. It ain’t easy. I figure if at least you try...you may be so much better off. I have only had one of my “regular medicine” doctors ask about cannabis as part of a routine question about my current medication list.

Conventional medical thinking in our region seems to ignore the facts that cannabis therapies may provide substantial benefits. Failure to consider it, is a disservice to patients...imho

glad and to hear of your success
 
Thanks Farmall! In Dec 2016 I asked my Dad to help me take back my life & with his moral support we fired all my Drs, drew up a game plan, explained our goal to my Drs. I was wearing a fentanyl patch, plus I was on other meds that were narcotics too but I didn't realize, I flipped when I realized the damage that had been done to me. It was suggested I go to the hospital to get off the patch but we followed weaning down at home while I was receiving alternative treatments, I saw PT, OT, psych, aqua therapy, biofeedback, plus. We would spend all day at the health pavillion twice week, but I learned so much on living with my back & pain, plus other issues. I have been lucky that all my drs are very interested in cannabis & in seeing how I do. I'm having more back surgery & am planning to use cannabis only after. I'm hoping by sharing my story that others may be encouraged. Hopefully your friend will at least try it someday & hopefully she will find some relief too. ☮☮☮
 
My experience with the Blue Dream tells me it varies widely, I would guess because of how it's grown and/or cured. I was getting some stuff that was about 18-19% for a while that was really good. Strong enough I could not just smoke it all day. After about 50 minutes of good energy it would sit me down in a chair where I would just zone out for the next hour or hour and a half. I went back again and again for more. Then one day there was no more but the shop had something new, was 27%. Different grower. It was maybe as strong as the good stuff, but it wasn't like B.D. at all. I was high for a while then nothing. Smoked it up pretty quick. Then I tried the cheap stuff mostly because the seller promised they would always have it in stock because they grew it themselves. I could smoke it for an hour and barely have a mild buzz.
 
Happy to hear your visit went well! I like vape pens but not the cheap ones because they don't hit very well and often clog. But if you find you like the effect, I highly recommend investing in a quality one that hits better (they're usually metal and glass instead of black plastic). They're handy and easy on the lungs.
Just an FYI... do a little research and talk to your doctor about smoking right before surgery. I used to hear that THC in the bloodstream could interfere with anesthesia. I don't know if it's true but maybe somebody does. Probably just an old "fear of the unknown", but IDK.
 
I see the surgeon tuesday so I will definitely ask about anesthesia, Thank You. Good catch. With it being so new many drs are learning as they go. Luckily my cannabis prescriber is a well known pain specialist & knows all my drs personally. ☮
 
Look up Dr. David Bearman. Yes he advises to tell the anesthesiologist. He gives recommendations on it how and what to use. How long before etc etc.
 
We see the surgeons today & I will let you all know what they have to say. Also hoping to find the 1 and only dispensary in the area. Last week we failed, or we were failed by google maps 😕 Going to try gps today 😊
