Just tried to read it but to my shame a great deal of it went over my head. Anyone able to give us a somewhat 'lay-man's' version/translation?

Possible sleep disorder?
Possible sleep disorder?
Hey guys hope everyone is having a fab weekend. I have this problem that I’ve had for many years but in the past year it has got very bad. As I’m drifting off to sleep I suddenly jump awake. It’s not a normal haptic jump,every muscle in my body stiffens and I wake gasping for breath. Sometimes this is just fright at being suddenly jerked awake but at times it does feel as though I can’t breathe. I tried to see my GP but only got a phone consultation as they didn’t deem it serious enough for a face to face. The GP prescribed sleeping pills, They have done Jack as falling asleep isn’t really the problem it’s being jerked awake. For reference I’m 5’9 and just over 12 stone and I’m an active person. Does anyone have any ideas? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Peace.
Maybe you have asthma, i developed it in my mid 30s, sounds like your describing something called shallow breathing but a step further, it's like you kinda forget to breath at times.
I've suffered this a few times it's pretty scary and i'm sure it has a name.
Many things can trigger asthma and lying down to go to sleep is one of them.
But to recap, indeed it's like your body loses the innate ability to just breath normal, to even breath at all.
I do well with my inhaler, it's the purple one with steroids.
Try looking into this phenomenon, a google search on 'forgetting to breath' or some such should point you in right direction.
It only happens this condition when sleeping or trying to get to sleep, as far as i know.

Thanks for the input mate. It’s really helpful and in depth. I never even thought of asthma. I had it as a kid but grew out of it in my teens. In my 40s now maybe it has returned? The experience is very frightening. Thanks again dude for being so helpful.
Look up Hypnic Jerks as that’s what it sound like, I had the experience multiple times and it’s horrific. If it is ap then losing body fat is known to help
I agree dude I’m deffo not going to self diagnose. I’m finding the GP very frustrating though at the moment. It’s impossible here to even get a face to face appointment. It’s a 2 minute phone call if you’re lucky. Privatisation by the back door me thinks? Sorry for going a bit off topic. The jumps are like hypnic jerks but to an extreme level were it feels like my whole body is seizing up. This can be up to 7-8 times a night. Thanks for your help mate it’s much appreciated.
I have yes after I caught Covid and nearly died. I was an anti vax before that but yeah being on a ventilator for 10 days kinda changed my mind. I had the problem why before Covid anyways mate.
I thought of apnea myself dude. Can you suffer from it if you’re not overweight? I am fatigued mate but I’m putting that down to the amount of times my sleep is being disturbed.
Yes mate I have obstructive sleep apnea. I am 6"2 an d 14 stone 4, I work out 5 days a a week. I have a kink in and a narrow oesophagus. Mine starts even before I fall asleep! The NHS won't tell you this but weed definitely helps mine, i have been running a 30 year study!
Oh weed definitely helps it mate especially if I use RSO or edibles. Smoking helps but not as much unless I smoke a couple of giant bongs before bed. Last night was continuous for about 2 hours jump after jump. In the end I thought fuck it and stayed up the rest of the night. As you can probably appreciate dude they are very frightening. Thanks for help and advice my friend. Peace.

Most simply you just wanna keep it oily inside and out. Oily baths or even showers and you have it under control on the surface.
Under the hood diet is profound, olive oils, coconut, and pretty much anything healthy can turn around the problem.
Cannabis seems to help, a salve is worth a try and sounds fun if nothing else. But don't treat with medicine till diet is changed, that's the cure you want.
LIke your diet your regular cannabis use should be oily, tinctures and cbd concentrates and smoking is going to hurt, you don't put a fire next to dry anything.

I agree with the doc, skin is a lot like plants. Dry leaves means moisture topically and on the inside chemistry that will promote healthy growth on the lowest possible layer, healthy oils, theres your most fundamental lubricant.
hello hope all is well
look up organic oats bath, cut out sugar and dairy and drinks loads of filtered or distilled water. Avoid foods that cause mucus and inflammation.
kind regards

100% agree..especially cutting the dairy.tobacco doesn't help if you smoke. And there is a product called neem cream highly recommended and its not dear either.
hello all, am back on here after so long... its back again the eczema...but it makes my heart so happy to see all your helpful comments
Ive been using hemp seed oil and its the best !!!! I apply it all over body & take it orally too, just a few drops, works like a CHARM !
Hi mate, happy to send you a jar of canna coconut oil for your eczema. I can infuse it with turmeric, maca, lucuma, cinnamon, ginger, cardamom, and black pepper providing you are not allergic to any of those? Don't want any money just want feedback on if it helps at all!
can also add tea tree, lavender, chamomile, thyme, frankincense, basil and eucalyptus essential oils again providing you are not allergic to them. Message me!
Cold showers changed my life after suffering from chronic eczema for years. Calms it right down and let’s the CBD balls and steroid creams do there job
What dr doc said, shea butter works well for skin conditions, with my life i have had temendpus insight into this, as eczema is likely A MIND BODY issue....think about this fun fact, the skin has as much neuroscience as the brain......let that sink in like an oil..........and ask ur self, where is this in my mind, what is blocking me? If u want to message me about it u can but i knkw ur not asking....i had it on my knee, my ex gf told me this...i asked myself amd i got that i had been afraid to take the next steps.... To move forward..literally when i started taking steps in the direction It would disappear in parts, i realized it was more than one thing, more tham one step to take, and its not there, but it didnt disappear with conditioning.... i did eat healthier but it was SUPER FAST how it disappeared....it was crazy to see for me
Lifestyle, diet,
Stop using strong washing powder, change bed clothes every day when skin is bad.

Fasting and putting your body in an autophagy state has anicdotal and possibly scientific backing too, to improve eczema. Also it has run through my family, and I find eating excessive sugars, carbohydrates and gluten inflames it. Just my two cents
eczema is a symptom, salves may help with a symptom but treating the underlying causes will ... you know.
how much stress do you have in your life ?

Go to a Chinese herbalist! They will sort it no problem.

Agreed with the info already left! By add on... be careful when using creams and ointments... sometimes too much and too often can actually make the problem much worse! Make sure you’re drinking plenty of water too... such an easy thing to help so many ailments.
I feel you bro, same sort of thing I suffer from.
I use moisturisers - usually of the emollient variety, avoid dairy and get some sun around you - avoid the sunbeds though (my girlfriend is a dermo-nurse and swears this will do more harm to the melanin than good. UV light treatment in a hospital is not a sunbed, it is very different). Also cauliflower and broccoli are really good - the rawer the better.
Take care man, and if you haven't already, go ask your GP for a referral to the Dermatology clinic asap, those guys are great and at the moment they are pretty much empty, but still operational as the hospitals wind down their response to Covid.

Diet:
Stay hydrated: Drink plenty of water to keep your skin hydrated from within.
Anti-inflammatory foods: Include foods rich in omega-3 fatty acids (such as fatty fish, chia seeds, and flaxseeds), fruits, vegetables, and foods high in antioxidants. These can potentially help reduce inflammation in the body.
Identify triggers: Keep a food diary to identify any specific foods that may trigger or worsen your eczema symptoms. Common triggers include dairy, gluten, and certain spices.
Lifestyle:
Moisturize regularly: Use fragrance-free, hypoallergenic moisturizers to keep your skin hydrated. Apply moisturizers immediately after bathing or showering to lock in moisture.
Avoid harsh chemicals and irritants: Use mild, fragrance-free soaps, detergents, and skincare products. Avoid exposure to environmental irritants like harsh weather conditions, excessive heat, or allergens that may trigger flare-ups.
Stress management: Stress can potentially worsen eczema symptoms. Practice stress-management techniques like meditation, deep breathing exercises, or engaging in hobbies that help you relax.
Wear soft, breathable clothing: Choose loose-fitting, soft, and breathable fabrics such as cotton to avoid friction and irritation to the skin.

Definitely recommend organic black cumin oil & a good diet will help also plenty of sun really helps
I’d try cutting out lactose for eczema. Lots of skin issues caused by lactose. I have a severe intolerance to it and as soon as I eat it I get some weird painful skin stuff. And I’d just recommend a whole food diet high in veg and protein and cut out sugar and processed food, drink lots of water, take probiotics, use electrolytes regularly, to help distribute water to the cells.

Weed and gum disease
Dentist advised that I stop smoking so I thought I’d be cheeky and get a dynavap. Inflammation is still pretty bad and flossing is really painful. Would a water adapter do any good for filtering bacteria from the dynavap? Stopping cannabis is not really an option as I rely on it for pain relief and other stress related complications.
Thank you for any advice given.

Hi DankyDoodl3
I have gum disease too - which as you know is not really a disease.
But anyway the main point to bear in mind is that nicotine contracts the blood vessels.
That impairs the ability of the gums and bone to heal and makes the condition worse.
I have been on dynavap since 2018 and they have been a life changer thanks to a friend telling me about them.
Nowadays I try to stick to edibles.
The thermal shock your teeth and gums get from burning hot smoke does not help either.
I hope you find the vapcap to your taste so that you can avoid tobacca.
Good luck

The heat & tobacco kills the flora in your mouth. Dont know about filtering bac but it will conserve your healthy bacteria more which will help healing etc
Fair enough, try corsodyl if already not used. When my wisdoms push sometimes get swelling. Helps alleviate after a day.
Only alternative is edibles tbf

Can relate mate, get a fair bit of pain myself. Get a water flosser if not got one.
Salt rinses a few times a day, and poke the advice and keep enjoying the pain relief mate 🤜

I have a water pick mate but use to to irrigate after meals, if I try to use it like floss it hurts like a fucker. I have broken my threshold for pain recently and the shakes and adrenaline happen too often.
When I gave up smoking, my gums went mad with bleeding. Listerine gum treatment, which for me works better before brushing my teeth as it then doesn't wash the toothpaste off. Then in the day I drink peppermint tea as it isn't that aggressive and has antibacterial properties, you can wash it around your mouth as you drink it (no sugar). I make half a litre or so it lasts me a while. I just buy the cheap Twinings pure peppermint,
It is not just good for the gums but also toothache. Another plus, I find peppermint tea is perfect for a dry mouth. Flossing just sounds like it will cause damage which will increase your problems.

Tennis Elbow
Ended up giving myself tennis elbow, i've a gun dog and the lil' guy can run for hours, everyday, hours and hours.
I get his exercise in with his doggy ball launcher and this is what caused my injury.
I've since switched arms to launch, the injury is in my right elbow and i've not been using it for months now and this is where my question stems. (i'm a little ambidextrous so left hand launching has been no problem 😁)
Here is my question, just how long do these things take to heal? It's been months now and the pain is still there, not always of course but i'd like to know when i can expect my right arm to start working again 100%.
Many thanks Doctor Doc!👍

I've suffered with this reoccurring for years. Mine is caused by driving with one hand, turning wheel with palm.
Wrists are buggered too, carpal tunnel.
You can get neoprene elbow "splints" on Amazon for about 6 quid, try one, they can work as they restrict movement.

Just to update, got a message from a bigga about vitamin d, so i've been on high strength 4000iu vit d softgels for 3 days now and can already feel it easing.
I think i must have had a deficiency, working back shift and not getting up till noon probably didn't help either, not caught a decent bit of sun since summer 2022.
Thanks again biggas, can't thank ya'll enough.💚

Thank you my friend another great suggestion! Will pick some up at first opportunity, i'm a great believer in the healing properties of cbd.
Have a good one Kiltman!😊❤️

Had it in both elbows. Thankfully not at the same time. There are a few daily exercises that help, that you may be able to find online or from a visit to a physio. I also had tendonopathy in both Achilles tendons which needed Physio so also had some treatments on the elbow while there. These included Acupuncture, ultrasound and electric shock (not painful). Still took months for the pain to gradually lessen, almost back to normal now. Getting old sucks balls
Took me about two years, but still got to be careful. (Mine was weightlifting, left elbow)
Spent some money on deep tissue massage specifically on the arm which helped a lot to release the tension. Finger strengthener was a good purchase and helps ease the pain when sore, also a massage gun for the surrounding muscles. Cheap one is fine. Avoid the actual joint as can cause more problems, top of the forearm up and down helped a lot

I've been waiting to see a psychologist on the NHS for a year. Finally I get the phone appointment, and they say that because I smoke weed, psychology is not a good fit for me. Any thoughts biggaz?
Look elsewhere. Even if you can convince this particular psychologist to see you, they are not a good fit. There are plenty of more open minded mental health workers and it can sometomes take going through a few before finding a good fit. If you can afford it, it's worth looking for a private therapist because you can go through profiles and see if they sound like a good match before contacting.
Who told you that? Was it a Clinical Psychologist, Assistant Clinical Psychologist, receptionist? I can’t imagine a Clinical Psychologist saying that.
Alcohol and drug use is often a symptom of underlying issues and many people use them to help them regulate both their emotions and their sympathetic nervous system, or as part as a pattern of behaviours or your rules for living.
A Clinical Psychologist will recognise this, do a full analysis and build a program using a range of techniques to address all of these.
If you have genuinely been turned away by a Clinical Psychologist because you smoke pot, I would be shocked.

I think she was a clinical psychologist. Her name started with "Dr". But I don't know that for sure. I was really disappointed because I was of the same opinion as you about clinical psychologists.
If she is a doctor then she will be a Clinical Psychologist. Shocking advise. Do you have her contact details so that you could email her your concerns and give her the opportunity to explain her reasons for not seeing you.
Don't go to Twitter that is sledgehammer. Speak to the person, speak to their boss. If not satisfied complain to the BPS. Do that before opening a health care professional, who has probably dedicated her career to helping others, to a Twitter pile on.
There are lots of reasons who a psychological therapy and weed may not mix - using weed to avoid feelings that need to be processed in therapy, being too stoned to remember what was said in the session are just two. Deciding whether therapy is going to be helpful is an individual thing with lots of variables. It is not as simple as saying using weed is ok or not while having treatment.

I just find it ridiculous how people stigmatised weed so much. Obviously some people use it for medical reasons. I wish you luck with all these supposed "doctors ".
Hey mate a long time ago I was diagnosed with borderline personality disorder, recently this year I was also diagnosed with autism and adhd (Before adhd diagnosis they said maybe aspergers, it took a while for proper diagnosis).
I've always been upfront about my use of cannabis and it has never been a problem for me. I was successful in my application to Cancard and have had one for just over a year and a half.
What I do know about getting help with things like this is, it really does take a long bloody time, my autism and adhd diagnosis took a couple of years and now I think the waiting list has gone up even more.
There is a severe lack of funding and I don't think it's getting any better....
Keep on asking, you are doing the right thing in asking for help. As others have said ask for different opinions.
All the best,
AB.

My thought?: fucking outrageous…
Last time I had the temerity to ask a Consultant Specialist a few questions they said in a withering sarcastic way “oh, you’ve read a book have you?”….followed by “you are not going to get any better you know?”
I didn’t bang any pans for the NHS..,.

The nhs has some weird major issue with cannabis despite the first uk studies (project 21) showing 80% of people with anxiety and depression showed improvement using cannabis. You can however pay to see a private cannabis doctor who will prescribe it perfectly legal in the uk 😂 💰.. they are assholes same thing happened to me around 7 years ago turns out I have ptsd that has turned into functional neurological disorder now 🤦♀️ Back on the waiting list for cbt. I would try another doctor personally I think it’s slightly narsassistic to refuse to treat someone based on your own personal beliefs not any sort of real bloody evidence it is 💯 discrimination. I am sorry this has happened to you I hope you find the help you need 🙂
I’m no expert but I can see NICE guidelines saying something like.. if the patient is using any kind of none prescription drug the NHS aren’t going to pay for physiological treatment

Panic attacks (PTSD) from weed
I was a heavy smoker for years (half oz a week) then suddenly i started having panic attacks after smoking with pulpatations too. I gave up for ages but i really miss having a smoke so ive started having some very small amounts of morrocan hash this last year, which so far seems like it causes less problems although im still very nervous about having too much. If i smoke most weed thats around ill feel like ive had 4 cups of strong coffee :( Weed used to be relaxing but now feels like a stimulant . Ive also ended up cutting coffee and most hardcore sugar out of my diet as that seemed like it was also starting to affect me badly (i suppose thats a good thing to cut out anyway haha but still) . Whats going on Doc?
Hey! Sorry to hear about your weed-induced panic attacks. I can easily give myself severe anxiety with too much THC but at the same time I need the THC-heavy indica strains to sleep (severe insomnia from long-standing PTSD). AVB (already vaped bud) doesn't seem to cause anxiety in the same way, so sometimes I just self-medicate with that. But I've found the trick with weed is to vape it, not smoke it, and to use way way less than makes sense, like a really tiny quantity. Either I just put a tiny quantity in my vape, or i put in a normal quantity but only take a couple of shallow puffs then take a break for an hour or so.
That said, a lot of panic attacks are by subconscious association, so if you had one bad trip with weed, the panic attacks could well be just your amygdala screaming DANGER DANGER at your adrenal glands every time you smoke. If you need to talk about it feel free to message me btw

A kind seller on here is putting me together a little variety pack to try some high CBD indica weeds which I'll be vaping
Hemp hash has the best Cbd buds! Just mix it 1:1 with thc weed , or 1:2, 1:3 etc. That should take care of the anxiety;)
if you could get diazepam i used both to cure very bad case of PTSD to fix. every time i smoked and got panic i i let it get bad then pop a pill to shut the fuck up to this panic it works really does. did this for just a few weeks and wala i can now smoke 247 no panic then just weened myself off the diazepam 5 years gone and still PTSD free
I'd love to know the seller you're talking about! I'm keen to find some low thc, high cbd strains! (a little higher than the 0.2% stuff though)
Definitely try vaping. Its a lot more mellow and a nice way to ease yourself in. MJ Concentrates have some great carts (he is sold out atm but will restock soon) and he is really helpful and has great customer service and no question is too stupid to ask him.
Just to add as I don't see it otherwise mentioned, but the maturity of the trichomes plays a large part in this. Smoking earlier cuts of cloudy trichs will give a rushier hit than ambers if cut a little later, and I've found it's immature or earlier cut weed that tends to give me the effects to speak of. If you know any growers, ask that they cut you some when it's mostly amber trichs and see how you do. It is degrading at the point but you can't get it all just right.
Heyo, I smoked every day for a couple of years in my early 20s. Life was fun, carried my pipe everywhere and I loooved smoking all day long. Few years after life stopped being as fun and I found that being high stopped feeling good and made me feel extremely anxious. I think it has to do with what your brain is dealing with, whether you’re in a good place or not. Nowadays I smoke when things are more or less okay and I haven’t had any bad anxiety issues *knock on wood*
Hope things get better for you!
Hope things get better for you!
I used to suffer with this and for me I realised the sativa doesn't agree with me, has to always be indicia, or a 70/30 hybrid, I'd suggest having a smoke but you need to break yourself in real slow, just like have a few puff's, then a few hours later a few more and so on, try indica leaning strains, though it could just be your body going nah
Sorry to hear this. Everyones different but it can come down to strains. Try find Hybrids or Indicas particularly ones that are low THC and High in CBD. Thisbalance is key to a balanced high. also really make sure the plants are flushed correctly and/ or organic. Less chemicals the better which can trigger a lot of this.
Good luck
Good luck
Not really bud, Durban Poison i Had stocked there was 17% THC, 1% CBD, 1% CBN. There definitely are strains that have like 3% CBD these days. Sorry I couldnt be of more use!
Would love to try something like Stephen hawking kush . Indica dominant 12% THC 13% CBD . Sounds perfect for me but I don't know if I'll find weed like that in the UK . Hopefully I'll get lucky
Sorry to hear that buddy. That happens with my mum. I baked her some brownies a few times and even with strains that knock me out, have the opposite effect on her. She ends up getting a speed-like high. She has chronic arthritis but it may be the type of meds she is on not meshing well. Some venders put detailed descriptions on here of their strains. You will find one that works for you eventually. I hope it all comes right for you because it’s shit when you can’t do what you love. Stay safe.
I had a similar episode after 20 yrs of smoking daily, mind you it happened after a weekend of more booze than you can imagine. Tried a few times after but had the same response, so I gave up for about 8 years ( boy did I miss it!!) then went to Amsterdam, I took it slower than I would have in the old days and always kept my mind working and it worked . TBH my life now won’t allow to go back to how I used to smoke but pleased I can still enjoy one again. I guess it really comes down to mental conditioning and not associating weed and the panic attack, well that’s what helped me .
1:1 THC/CBD strains are amazing. Stick to some nice indicas or hybrids and you'll find the CBD takes the anxiety away and replaces it with a deep relaxation.
maybe because you stopped using for a long time so your body isn't used to having weed. or you might have went straight to sativa strains when you started again. i had the same experience not long ago, i thought i added a low amount of cannabutter in my brownies and i ate two, 5 hours later i feel like my heart will explode and i was scared i might die. lol. yeah stick to the indica ones, try to taper your dose-- start small and see which amount gives you the results you want. CBDHempKing has some cbd flowers and CBDave has some cbd products like distillates and chocolates.

Stick to the indicas, sativa strains have the same effects on me, avoid it now and been good so far. Smoke every day.
Thanks for your comment. Any particular strains you can recommend i try? ive been at a whits end for years now
Use leafly to compare strains take.something with a heavier indica percentage and work back. Hybrids prob o
Alright with 60% sativa like gentleman dealers lemon amnesia.
Poss vape I've found spliff make it more likely.

Currently black jack reserve or fruity pebbles from drugsinc these are pretty laid back not heart pumpers. Look out for the ice cream cake that was nice.
I find mimosa really good for anxiety it’s a 50:50 hybrid usually pretty easy strain to get hold of to
I used to get sudden panic attacks about 10 years ago into my now 20-25 year habit.
I got rid of them pretty much within a month by using deep breathing techniques. I have a friend who makes RSO which can hit you with panics like a truck if you take too much and the breathing techniques completely stop those too.
I know it sounds cliche but I really recommend the box breathing technique whenever you feel bad: 4 seconds breathe in, 4 seconds hold, 4 seconds breathe out. Do that for 2+ minutes and you will feel better.
That said, this is my personal experience and can't guarantee it works for anyone else but I haven't had a panic attack properly since that first month many years ago. Allowed me to continue using the plant that I love.

Was in the same boat as you.
My weed anxiety came about after my psychedelic period. I would get heart palps, muscle shakes and an unsettled mind.
I quit for a year and then eased back in with low strength hash.
High THC Low CBD strains will still make me uncomfortable if I smoke too much too soon,so I stick to mellow stuff these days.
CBD will absolutely settle heart palps and anxiety. Smoke/ vape a fair whack before smoking anything with THC and you’ll be fine. CBD flower shake is pretty cheap, I always have some on standby but I haven’t been unsettled in a long while.
Best of luck!

Smoke whatever strain you want and use a CBD tincture if it gets too much.
I keep a bottle handy when I’m trying new actives in edibles, used to get panicky as fuck sometimes.

Hi, ive smoked heavily for 25 years now and I find my anxiety is at its worst when i cant source any weed, whether thats an addiction styled placebo im not sure, but I have heard of people mixing quantities of cbd flower in with their thc flower at various ratios and reporting much lower psychosis/anxiety levels. Maybe try a bowl or vape of 70/30 thc/cbd and see if it helps any.
some strains work good with some people and some don’t I recommend a indica dominant strain
Its the strains pretty much... example..
White widow i had in de pipj, amsterdam was real heavy fire. One joint and i was a complete mess. Full blown panic attack, whitey, palpitations etc.
Also the state of mind before you smoke. ganja (especially sativas) can be a sensitizer so amplifies your emotions.
Also, when a plant is chopped also has an effect on the buzz. So even an indica can be racy if its chopped a bit early. Sativas are often chopped a bit early because...
1) They can take another 50% longer to flower than an indica
2) It amplifies the racy high and can be more trippy.
Loads to keep you happy, but id just look for a 90%+ indica dominant, which is usually displayed in vendors sales pitches.
Good luck and dont do it if it makes you feel para. Can be unhealthy to keep that going for the grey matter.

Last few times I’ve had white widow it’s given me heart palps and shakey muscles, flat out won’t smoke it now.
Sounds bad having panic attacks sorry but I can relate 😕
Since I stopped using tobacco, the effects of weed through the vape
feel purer and no tobacco means not having to roll joints to feed nicotine slumps.
A half ounce a week was a lot of weed and glad you're having a more pleasant time with a lesser amount of nice Moroccan hash. 😀
Also understanding more about strains has helped loads too.

Sorry to hear that you’ve been having a hard time.
I generally stay away from the crazy strength buds, particularly sativa strains which can get a bit racy!
Maybe try hybrids with a greater percentage of indica or strains with a balance of thc & cbd.
I like Indica hashes generally.
I’ve had some nice stuff from hashishin lately. Some of the leb stuff is fairly balanced between thc and cbd.
I had some hash from Shroom of the loom that was a really relaxing indica called audi something or other.
I have a friend who swears by taking a few cbd drops while having a smoke.
I most often vape nowadays and find that cleaner and less intense than smoking a J.
Hope you find a solution.

Have you tried taking a beata blocker every day this will stop your heart pulpatations.Get them off the doctor😀
Just a thought....I wonder if having a few drops of high strength cbd oil before you smoke could help take the edge off?

try researching the strains first before you buy, see how it would affect you. and try indica strains. CBD oil helps too. if you got a local Holland&Barrett shop, checkout their products, sometimes they got promos like Buy 1 get another 1 for a penny

could be worse, you could develop cannabis hypermedia syndrome like me and nearly die of complications of dehydration. imagine the worst pan imaginably, its 10 times worse, fentanyl does nothing, they had to put me under to stop it.
Thanks everyone for your lovely responses . I'm going to look out for some indica rich northern lights and some ice cream cake , until then I'll stick to my lower strength hash as that seems like a warm not too heady buzz :)

are there good steroids?
Good question!
The fall in male testosterone levels is mooted by some as not only one of the most ignored health issues in current times but a future health tsunami.
Simply because steroids are ‘abused’ for athletic and vanity reasons most medical bodies are swerving to avoid the issue of testosterone optimisation therapy, leaving it in the arena of the ‘wild west’ and private practice.
Unfortunately hinged to the wholly inaccurate phrase ‘male menopause’ it’s seen by many who should know better as a ‘joke’ subject or simply an excuse to take body enhancing drugs.
However, low testosterone or ‘hyper-gonadism’ can produce a raft of symptoms that not only limit or destroy quality of life but significantly shorten longevity.
So the simple answer is yes, there are some very good steroids: Undenanoate, Propionate, Cypionate, Enanthate, and Sustanon are just a few examples of steroids that can optimise male testosterone levels (with a fraction of the dosage used by body builders and without any significant side effects). Finding a physician to prescribe them however that isn’t going to break your bank account is a whole different topic!….

As someone who has run serveral types of steroids I shall tell why they are good and bad my friend.
We all have a genetic potential. So You or I could follow the exact diet, weight training etc and our results would vary vastly and we'd look much differently in certain areas. Once you have hit your genetic potential that is it, you cannot grow any more muscle. The onky thing that will surpass that is PEDS - I say PEDS because not just steroids are good and bad.
So I've ran testosterone for a long time. And ran orals along with it depending on what cycle I was running. I am smart one. I get bloods done before, during and after cycle to ensure all my levels are in check and I've not doing myself any harm. I take my blood pressure every day, I do it 'safely'. I used to compete and the onky way to compete is to enhance unfortunately.
Unfortunately others are not so smart l. They take ridiculous amounts, don't pay attention to their body, don't run any post cycle therapy then jump straight back cause they wonder why they lost all their gains. And Ofcourse, they end up in A&E from time to time.
Keep in mind more and more men and turning to TRT with great success. It's been a bit if a grey area because of the association with steroid and abuse. Thankfully though the Stigma around that seems to be reducing.
Hooe this was helpful 😊

Steroids are not good or bad. They can be used positively for testosterone replacement therapy but also abused for performance enhancement. It’s about how and what they are used for which makes them good or bad;)

what are the least carcinogenic fats?
Coconut oil, avocado, nuts, fish oil, extra virgin olive oil. Avoid letting oil smoke in the pan as it becomes carcinogenic when doing so.
Ghee has a very high smoking point, and is a natural oil that has been used for thousands of years in India. Does impart a flavour to cooking that isn't for every use.
For cannabis infusion, the most common oils used in the medical industry (for example Tilray and Bedrocan) are peanut oil for ingestion and Coco nut oil for skin application and cosmetics.
Been using Avocado oil for cooking recently as Coconut used to be our go to. Trying hard not to use any oil for cooking but its damn hard! Agree with the smoking points... we found this helpful :-)
This is a really complex question.
Trans fats are an obvious no no. Those occur naturally and in manmade products (hydrogenated fats).
But many vegetable oils (oilseed rape, peanut, sunflower, olive) etc are contaminated with aflatoxins produced by fungi that can cause liver cancer. Similarly, vegetable oils can contain Benzo(a)pyrene after you cook them.
The most healthy fats are unsaturated fats.
But we are all going to die at some point anyway so invest your health in what you love.

Sadly not true. Frying stuff in Extra virgin is a no no. It has a low burning point and lots of stuff in it to burn - carbonising stuff = carcinogen.
Coconut oil is great, but it's full of saturated fat. Jury is still out about how bad that is.
Ideally I fry in groundnut, as it has the highest burning point (which is why a lot of chinese food recommends it).
But as I said elsewhere, you choose how you invest your health. I invest mine in eating delicious food.

Regarding coconut oil, there was a bbc documentary that showed coconut oil was medium CT and so reduced LDL . Obviously too much is a bad thing but I do think it’s a good oil, not to mention the brain benefits of MCT’s
As I said, the jury is out on saturated fats in general.
I think that, with the exclusion of tainted oils and trans fats, the "good oils/bad oils" thing is a bit simplistic.
Eat what you love, in moderate amounts, exercise a lot. Eat more veg.
That's it. The rest is a lottery!

Frying in nice oil is a waste of money. While it may have a low flash point. That flash point is still going to be lower than what you're cooking at. I'd argue that teflon coated pans most people have are more carcinogenic than whatever fats people float in them.

why is my back pain and its relief all over the place?

why is my back pain and its relief all over the place?
usually starts with hips being pinched then my lower back starts hurting then my legs. bending my feet or even fingers seems to offer a little relief.
all these parts are connected mechanically, electrically, and chemically. but that's also helpful in treatment. have a look at this
"Referred pain" is usually felt in the low back area and tends to radiate into the groin, buttock and upper thigh. The pain often moves around, and rarely radiates below the knee.
Referred pain is analogous to the pain that radiates down the left arm during a heart attack. It is the result of the extensive network of interconnecting sensory nerves that supply many of the tissues of the low back, pelvis and thigh.
An injury to any of these structures can cause pain to radiate – or be “referred” - to any of the other structures. It is important to understand that this type of pain is not due to “pinched nerves”.
This helpful site has details and treatment options. Good luck and let us know how you do!

Get an MRI, don’t leave your GP’s until he/she books you an appointment for one. I went through 18 months of agony just to be told to take pain relief and rest. Long story short I needed an “emergency” operation on two prolapsed discs that were compressing my central nerve.
Once my injury was right in front of their eyes they were brilliant and worked as quick as they could. I’m proud of our NHS but you need to be assertive sometimes.
I hope your pain is a thing of the past soon.

Everything just connects to everything else amigo….I have a double stenosis of the spine and sometimes it causes a pain in the sole of my foot like a knitting needle being pushed into it. I struggle to see why! 😵💫
Hi 1212 - seems there's a lot of this about! I've had a lot of experience with this, and posted some (lengthy!) advice recently to someone having similar issues. To save cluttering up your post feel free to click on my name and find a recent post called 'Does stiffness travel through muscles?' Hopefully there'll be something in there that might help you. Good luck with it 👍
Try micro dose magic mushrooms for pain.

Is Kambucha actually healthy?
Once something makes it to the top of the health meme verse it's like running for President. You've used bullshit to get there just by definition so I gotsta ask.
There is a type of kombucha named Jun, thats fermented honey, not with refined sugar that is a disaccharide that gives liver problems.
For what its worth, natural probiotics amd prebiotics come from the skins of fruits amd veggies thats why u get organic and local so u can it eat with all its glory

Ive had the fortunate luck to try some really good concoctions of it by a real shaman, & they were different types, one with Mint another with Ginger & my body & system immediately felt the high vibrational detox going on! To me, I feel like its what alcohol should be, I got drunk but it was beautiful not like with alcohol, just my opinion
And theres something called Amanita Kombucha which is something even more magickal ;)
( research " soma " )

Probs ok raw. but the "healthy" products these days are full of sugars n shit. Kefir is best healthy good bacteria by ten fold.
There are some good natural ones out there. Captain kombucha raspberry flavour, is pretty good. Makes a great mixer too.
I wouldn't ask health questions on here.
In short, it might be beneficial for your gut in terms of microbes that live there.
Either way it tastes good.

Brain Tumour (Cancer)
Hi fellow biggies
Im not sure if this is the correct place to post this, but im giving it a go.
My cousin (35 year old) who is like my brother has recently been diagnosed with brain tumour which is cancerous.
He has smoked bud regularly since the age of 15, and now needs it more than ever, especially for pain and depression.
I bought an RSO oil for him, also looking to buy him som cbd crystals etc.
Anyone know the best vendor to buy both RSO OIL FROM (the real thing) and some good quality cbd crystals etc?
Also, can anyone please reccomend any other product i should be looking into to help my bro?
Any help, ideas and recommendations im very grateful for,
Thanks

Gilly1980 is well known on here for providing good RSO and at a good price too. Listings will be back on tonight..........
Apparently 1:1 thc cbd ratio is the most medicinal. Also if you get rso make sure it’s been made with food grade ethanol or everclear. Naphtha and ipa are toxic. Full spectrum cannabinoids and terpenes for maximum entourage effect.
I would personally make my own thc RSO and buy full spectrum cbd paste, mix the two and add some full spectrum hemp or cannabis terpenes.
Good luck

Tore my calf muscle
Hi doc, was just going to bin outside with rubbish and tore my muscle, i actually heard it tear. (not been sleeping much lately and i walk a lot with doggo)
Next door neighbour is footballer and confirmed you can actually hear the muscle tear.
Got it wrapped, took some ibuprofen, gonna get it raised and have ice on standby.
I'm expecting smoke tomorrow which i'll enjoy cause not going to work, any advice my good man?

Thanks, not a fan of nhs nor modern medicine, the ibuprofen i got today have e171 coloring, a now banned carcinogenic LOL.
Yeah wanna know why everyone nowadays gets cancer, start paying attention to ingredients epsecially the 'nasties' which I was forced to due to allergies i picked up in later life.
I'd go to nhs if my head was hanging off, apart from that ..
Sry for rant, been told by work i don't get paid the first three days i'm off sick, so not only am i down physically, but financially now too.
Ain't the uk just the best country tho?

If you're not into big pharma, you could try Wim Hof breathwork.
1.It doesnt take long to do.
2.Good for inflammation i.e injury/trauma in the body
3. Will get you buzzing.. High on your own supply
Wim is an extraordinary athlete who has many Gunness World records.
He once ran a half marathon in the artic circle in a pair of shorts,
He got frostbite in his toe,
Docs wanted to chop it off,
Wim worked his magic and still has his toe.
I've been doing his breathwork and cold shower method for just over a year now. I'm never turning back...
and I still have all my toes 🤣
also in the last year
No coughs or colds👌
No covid🖖
Almost no migraine 👍
No more hayfever✌️
It's free, everyone should try it.
Enjoy!

I'll look into it, i've known about breathing techniques for a while but never delved in deep.
Must say the ice pack really helps tho, i put that on in the evening a go for a nap.👍

You can do the breathwork before you nap.
30 deep belly breaths in
Just let the breath fall out but not a full exhale
After the last exhale
Hold the breath for as long as possible (I have held for 3 minutes)
When you get the urge to breath
Breath in fully and hold, squeeze your abs gently for 10-15 secs and release
Boom...now you're on the way
3 rounds in total
You'll be flying..Trust me

Booze, Weed, or Amitriptyline?
(Tip: please say Weed!)
I have a mixed selection of pain issues including a double stenosis, which because it’s all recent and won’t get better is probably taking me into mild depression. I usually rely on the booze, not because it works that well but because I have always loved booze.
Having found this site I am very excited about the potential of all these quality strains that are new to me.
In the meantime my Doc wants me on the Amitriptyline. He thinks I am- but I have a drawer full. Never started.
So biggaz, what varieties commonly found here are best to ease my woes??....I bet you know!...and I’ll sure appreciate it (vendors welcome!)..

One thing you haven't listed that you may want to consider is RSO or Rick Simpson Oil. Couple of vendors sell it but one particular one specialises in it called Oilman and he's very professional. I've used RSO a few times for arthritis pain and it works really well.
Thanks, that’s really interesting. How do you actually ‘use’ an oil? (Sorry if that’s a real noob question!)
It comes in a 1ml syringe way I use it is I put a bit about the size of a grain of rice in my mouth, leave it to swill about for around 5 mins and swallow. Starts working after an hour or so but its a bit faster acting doing it after a meal. I'm currently suffering badly with avascular necrosis of the hip joint taking the oil helps me walk without a stick.
Fascinating, thanks. But is it also a good high?...can you drink booze at the same time? Glad to hear you get relief amigo...
i found i used way more than intended like i took a whole mil wasnt enough so i did 2mil and had a good high but i found if i dont smoke and only have RSO id run out of cash real quick best i stick too smoke even though me lungs are almost cooked haha
Cheers dude I've heard people have good experiences drinking with RSO but it's not something I've tried. For me the high by its self in high doses is a bit like taking a tranquilizer, but I always use it 3 hours before going to sleep(it really helps if you have sleep issues too). One thing I have noticed it works better after eating and hits faster the longer it's kept in the mouth.
Pleaseeee dont take those, I would strongly advise not to take the amitriptyline, through that shit in the bin!
This is tough for me to say but i feel like i should explain my experience with amitriptyline,,,,
My doctor prescribed me that for nerve damage, it was ok for a while untill i increased the dose. Then came the horrific headaches which lasted for days. This drug affects the chemical balance of your brain, when i stopped taking it I had the scariest mental episode, which ill try and explain. I was sitting at my desk everything was fine and all of a sudden I felt like I was going to get up and hurt myself, it was like someone else was controlling my thoughts. I was terrified but aware the whole time, I sat there frozen for 2 hrs as i dear not move, I was fighting myself not to get up as i didnt know what I was about to do. This is not like me at all and as you can imagine was terrifying! 90% of the medications they give can be replaced with cannabis, with far less side affects. Go for an indica dominant plant any of the dawg strains allways work best for my pain relief, there my go to and are really effective. The booze is your choice but it has wreaked my nervous system over the years and have several nurological problems due to alcohol. Stick with the weed and get those body repairing cannabanoids in ya, its the best medicine ;) Gl with the pain relief, stay safe stay medicated.

Wow, amigo, reading that makes me very happy that the pills are just taking up drawer space despite what my doc thinks!
I’ve got a life long quality relationship with booze that I don’t want to end but it’s not classically therapeutic. So yes, I agree entirely that having found this site it’s time to explore the wonders of weed...thanks for sharing!

yeah deep aint it. The problem is with doctors they are educated poorly on medications, take this drug or take this, mainly man made garbage that gives bigger problems than what you are trying to fix. Run by big pharma companies, scared of this devils plant. cannabis has been used medicinally by EVERY culture on the planet for thousands of years untill they gave it a bad rep. They dont want you growing your own medicine, which we should all have the right to! I have bad information and because I cant take anti-inflammatory,s the doctor said nothing I can do for you. Ive found that tumeeric helps massively but they dont tell you that because of poor education. Nature knows best
this is more the tree of life than the devils plant https://www.cannabisculture.com/content/2018/05/19/cannabis-the-once-and-future-tree-of-life/
You’re right- you’ve just gotta follow the money. There is no money for big pharma in supplements like turmeric, or generics like aspirin or curing cancer rather than easing symptoms. I’m not saying there aren’t modern medicines that work but they only hit the market when the price is right!
Easier said than done but booze should be a last resort. Hope the weed helps you; and would be my recommendation. Listen to the doctor if it doesn't.
