I did it too. That’s what I used Weedborn CBD products for 🙂
For those of you with herniated discs and stenosis . I can vouch that weed is a very effective painkiller .
Today I was having severe pain from
2 herniated discs and weed has remove 90% of the pain . It’s kind of like you can feel something since you still have a body but it’s not something you can describe as painful. In fact this is more effective for me than opioids…tramadol and
ratio-lenoltec (codeine/tylenol). You can read articles and listen to videos but you need to experience this.
What’s always amused me about the “it’s a gateway drug” argument is that, actually it can be, but not for the reasons they claim, but instead that because of weed being illegal, people often had to get it from dealers that also sold other, much harder drugs, and eventually they are tempted to try the other drugs. Thus, it’s the fact that it’s been kept illegal, and thus left to the black market dealers to sell, that’s the problem with it.
Although I’ve often thought, that if there was a simple breathalyzer type test hat could show if you were currently under the influence, mj would likely have been legalized much earlier, or at least support for legalizing it would have grown much earlier.

Weed is mystical man
Can’t hear a word you’re saying
No euphoria with opioids if you are in chronic pain.
Cannabis can also be deemed ‘additive’ as it mimics our endogenous cells in the endocannabinoid system, if used too often the body may rely on it more than our natural processes. However, on the flip side, if used moderately, cannabinoids can INCREASE the production of endocannabinoids. Particularly important for those with conditions like Fibromyalgia, as it is theorized now that people who experience chronic pain conditions like FMS may be deficient in these cells that assist in pain regulation. 🙂
This is just superb, I been tryin to find out about "epstein barr virus fibromyalgia" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Have you ever come across – Diyadelyn Ziyily Idea – (Have a quick look on google cant remember the place now )?
It is a great exclusive product for getting rid of chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS – Also known as myalgic encephalomyelitis or ME) minus the hard work. Ive heard some unbelievable things about it and my cousin got amazing success with it.
this information is extrememly outdated and makes no relevance in todays climate where it is almost legal in 3/4 of the country and 2/3 of our own continent
I wanna know why are we not allowed to smoke pot and take opioid at the same time?
I know that I ones doubted herbal medicine even Dr Madida, so is everyone I believe but right now I don’t longer doubt it again especially the herbal medicine from Dr Madida on YouTube which cured my idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis.
Can barely hear this
Thca for me helps my nerv pain and learning it doesn’t bind to the receptors In the brain i can have it without feeling sleepy but still having the effects of pain relief.
Important things are moving fast and this information, although great is becoming outdated.
For instance the number of states is no longer just 1, it is now more than half of the country, more than double what this video stated when it was made. The number of people that are using it medically and the number of people that have tried marijuana for the first time have increased in the information gained for the medical community now that studies have been legally done we can now see emerging results from these studies.
You must used marijuana for medical purposes not to abused
Everyone needs to know I was returned from ‘death’ to show the WORLD what our ENDOCANNABINOID SYSTEM does. THC saved my brain from OXYGEN DEPRIVATION, BRAIN SWELLING & is restoring my 5.5 TBI. (Traumatic Brain Injury) ❤
Thank you LORD.
HOW I And MY PARTNER GOT CURE FROM ALS AND DIABETES.

My medical condition was heart broken because it was causing me so many heart breaks and pains,I was subjected to different medications by my medical doctor just to control and get free from My pains and also my partner condition. Despite my visit to several doctors my health wasn’t getting better, all they could say is for me to stay on the treatment. At the verge of giving up, I go through the internet to search for a treatment on my own at least. But I found a cure instead on the internet, I read a testimony of a lady who was cure from herpes virus with the natural herbal medication of Doctor ekpen. She shared an e-mail address of Doctor ekpen that anyone should contact him for help and I did. I explain my AlS and my partner diabetes sickness to him and the herbal doctor told me that I and my partner will be free from those sickness but only if I fallow his medication instructions and will did. After applying doctor ekpen medication everything seemed to be fine. And my partner took the Herbal Medicine also. within 10days my partner was cure from diabetes and i was free from ALS in 2weeks time. today i and my partner are both free from the dangerous sicknesses after many years in pains. my adverse is if you are suffering from any sicknesses use a herbal remedy that is safe.

It helps with the automatic system as the cannabinoids when activated by thca or cbd it helps stabilises the automatic system making chronic symptoms become less apparent and eases pain.
