My story began a billion years ago with a cruel biological father who drank a fifth a day and liked to beat on his offspring for sport, I was usually 3[SUP]rd[/SUP] in line. Now a days that may happen less (hopefully) but back in the day it was common as I learned from friends years later. Later in my life I loved skiing and horses (usually not at the same time). Ive been thrown by horses plenty but once galloping along a beach I ended up thrown into some mean barnacle covered boulders. I landed right on my lower back. I was hurting for a very L O N G time after that, but never went to a doctor. Two or three skiing accidents and several car accidents later, I find myself here in 2012. My body is broke. Ive had two failed spinal surgeries, many neurosurgeon consults (one coming up in March for my neck) . Ive been down and back the pain medication road. For me, they just dont work with the type of pain I experience if that makes any sense. If I could describe in one word how I feel, its weary. I am weary of pain, doctors, surgeries, disappointments and not feeling like I have a bit of control over any of it. Im just plain weary. I am sure by reading this forum there are many who can relate and are just as weary as me. Probably there are plenty who are even wearier than me.
I have a son whos in the medical field. Hes been encouraging me to try marijuana for pain for a long time. My experience in trying it has never been for pain and I never liked the stuff. Is that weird? All it ever did for me was making me think too much and Im the sort of person who has wayyyyy too much bouncing around in my little noggin. I enjoy NOT thinking too much. So he tells me its different than it was 20 or 30 years ago when I smoked it a handful of times. There are different strains that affect people differently.
So now Im very interested. I feel a little hope. Hope is a good thing right now because after a long road of none I feel some happiness about the possibility that this may work for me. Im lucky that in my State of Washington medical marijuana is legal at a time when I need to try it, I like that. I also like growing things and Im pretty sure with a little bit of dumb luck I could grow my own medicine which I like even more. I really like the idea of making canna-butter if it works for me and I decide to grow it myself, thats pretty cool too. I am really interested to learn from people here which strain they feel works on pain the best?. I would be grateful for any info there.
Any way this is where Im at. Thanks for having a place for a weary broken lady to come to.
