Brand new here and to all this: various marijuana q's

[NotMuchLonger]

Greetings,

I'm new to all this. I'm in my 40's and have never done any kind of drugs. Long story short, MY doc just told me 2 weeks ago that I have had Lyme (tick) disease for 20 years and it has been attacking organs and nerves for several years now. At the same time Doc told me I'm now in stage 2 kidney failure, have liver disease, I'm diabetic and have heart issues causing high BP. So doc banned me from ever taking another single Tylenol or Ibuprophen (etc etc.) ever again, to help keep from finishing off my kidneys and liver.

So that's why I'm here. I HAVE TO HAVE something to help with the daily joint pain, daily flu-like symptoms, to be short...the daily, serious misery- if I'm going to be able to be out of bed at all.

Before I ran out of money (can't work,) ultra HIGH doses of CBD oil was the best help daily this far out of all the herbal therapies I've tried. I just no longer have $200/month to buy max high dose CBD tinctures at the retail shops.

So I need to know of a strain of plant that will help with my daily body pain, daily flu-like symptoms, the misery of feeling like you have not slept in a week.... each day, etc. On rare occasion I do deal with some stress & anxiety regarding my state of life also, so there's also sometimes a neurological componant.

But I'm already dealing with ZERO energy and sleepiness each day. So it can't be a strain that just makes me kinda wanna sit and stare at the wall.

I sincerely appreciate any advice on strains and where to get the seed.

Thanks to you all!

Grow your own bud and make your own extracts at home. Not dangerous. Please lay off most CBD oil. Much of what is sold has zero CBD in it. None. Suggest growing a high CBD strain and making Rick Simpson Oil (RSO).

I'm sorry to hear you're going through all that at once at such an early age. if I were in your situation, I would find a reliable source that sells clones and a high cbd strain with low thc....like 2:1 Ratio. they work in sync with each other to kill your pain, and that type of strain would not leave you stoned on the couch either. youtube is a wonderful source of information, especially when it comes to making extracts. like hotrod said above, learning to make rso would be your best route for pain. if you like reading, a very informational book is out there called "Beyond Buds" by Ed Rosenthal. obviously you would need to learn to grow first. another plus about growing a high cbd strain is it doesnt have that strong weed smell. i used to grow a high cbd strain and it smelled like hay lol, but it worked (thats just my experience, maybe other cbd strains smell like weed). if you cant afford to experiment and make mistakes when growing because you absolutely need that medicine, maybe get an experienced grower to guide you along if you know any. also, have you considered signing up for grassmatch.com and looking for a caregiver. they will help you with your grow and you can get cheaper medicine to hold you over until you get to harvest. best of luck man. I cant remember the name of the strain, but there are plenty that have high cbd/low thc

I would start with an auto flower or clones to get you meds ASAP.
(rso)Extract is a concentrated oil made from the plant . Let’s worry getting some plants 1st

Here are some questions you should ask yourself first .

Do you have a space or any equipment to start growing ?
What’s your budget to get started growing?
Do you have an idea of how much meds you will need a month?
Do you know anyone growing now? Or anyone that can help you setup n do the daily work?
Do you live in a legal state? Or med state?

~~~~I have basic space. No real equipment.

What’s your budget to get started growing?
~~~~ No real budget as this medical journey has completely depleated both my ability to work & my finances. But I occasionally get donations form really kind people.

Do you have an idea of how much meds you will need a month?
~~~~I'm assuming a fair amount. Each day I'm somewhere between "some" to seriously miserable.

Do you know anyone growing now? Or anyone that can help you setup n do the daily work?
~~~~No. I've never been around any of this culture. I don't even know where or who I could buy a single joint from.

Do you live in a legal state? Or med state?
~~~ TN. CBD was just legalized. MJ is still a big no.

Thanks so much.

@NotMuchLonger
The space is going to be the 1st step
Do you live in a house, apartment, etc
How close is the neighbors?
Do u have a basement?
“Friends” coming over?
How much space can you donate to your new hobby?
