hey guys, im new to the forum but i have been an ommp member for almost a year. i get chronic migrains and for the last year it has been constant. thankfully i have marijuana and that makes me feel normal for a few hours but im hating how much time i have to spend medicating. it on average takes me 20-30 to medicate and i have to medicate every 2-3 hours. what have you guys found to be the best ways to medicate quickly or in your mind the best way to medicate? im not sure if this is the right place to post this but all of your advise is deeply appreciated. thank you

Id say a vape or edibles or concentrates? I know a vape hit me fast and lasts but for someppl it just doesnt work like that for them. Id say eat an edibal then either vape or smoke how you have been but not that long?

ID say if you would want fast and long lasting do an edible and a vape. vape for quickness and then edible for the longer lasting effect.

i have a vapor brothers hands free box vape and a g pen for concentrates as well as an atmos raw but im getting rid of the atmos. the vapor brothers was great at first but i quickly built up a tolerance. i try to only vaporize as i know it is healthier and when i do smoke i use a hot glass poker. when im vaporizing i also use a water pipe for water filtration so i don't cough as much. with the level of pain that im in and the tolerance that I've built up over the last year i find that it takes me around 30 minutes to medicate and it only last for about 2 hours, and thats if im having a good day, some days are worse and i have to medicate every 30 minutes to half hour. unfortunately all of the edibles i have tried don't seem to help me, maybe the dispensaries i got them from just make them week. i also tried tinctures but with little success, but im always willing to try someones if they think it will work. recently i started using oils with a g pen and that works pretty good but still takes a while. if you dab with a titatium nail or something along those lines how many dabs do you guys feel it takes to get the same effect as smoking .5 gram to a gram?

I now have a Plenty. It's made by the same people who make the Volcano. Adjustable temperature, very easy to use, & electric. Can use concentrate or ground weed. I still like the Iolite for travel, but this Plenty takes the cake.

check these two videos out. why just use cannabis as a band aide when you can cure your migrains

this way wont get you high at all

its about the healing power of raw cannabis

and this one you if you eat 1 mil gram a night before you go to sleep. it will take 2 weeks to 3 or 4 months to fully cure any medical condition

I love my vaporizer but I honestly don't believe it's the most efficient. I own an Arizer Extreme Vaporizer and in order for it to work properly I need to fill the bowl at least three quarters full. Whereas with my glass bong and using a bowl with a glass star shaped filter I can make do with tiny pea sized pinch. I also don't buy that consuming is more efficient either. I think the baking or cooking processing degrades the active ingredients more then smoking or vaping. I've even steeped my marijuana in hot milk which is amazing in its own way, still isn't as effective as smoking from a water bong.

if you think efficiency means using the least amount of material as possible while still being able to feel the effects then I say smoking. On the other hand if you think in terms of what method extracts the most active ingredients and delivers them quickly then vaporizing wins. The healthiest is still probably consumed cooked or steeped

It seems like it's re-upping you don't like... in which case it seems like edibles is the only way... I think a good combination of vapor and edibles might be to your liking... or a good portable vaporizer that uses oil (g-pen or similar)... they're always ready to go and take literally 5 seconds to use.

But I think that an edible in the morning, once you get the dose dialed in properly, will sustain you for most of your day... and if you're not getting enough longevity still, you can also dole out edibles on a schedule throughout the day. Edibles will last longer, generally. I find that edibles combined with smoke or vapor (usually a vape session in the morning with the edible, then maybe another one when I start to feel it wane, which won't be for a long time if I time that first session right so the edibles kick in with it.)

Truth be told, a single dose of cannabis lasts a few hours max once you have some tolerance. Edibles are the only way past that as far as I know. Kind of just a fact of life if you like or need to use cannabis... re-upping is a part of the game, so to speak. Honestly, my advice would be to learn to love the ritual, lol. But I understand if you feel it's interruptory to your day... like I said though, after a solid morning dose of vapor and/or edibles, a good portable oil vape will keep you going for sure... and they're so discreet... so it's not like you have to steal away for a secret session to medicate... you can do this anywhere, on the fly, in literally 6 seconds.
