(19,288 posts)Research would be an excellent way to concentrate on the strains and strengths to cure or manage chronic pain or disease. How can benefits be documented and chronicled for repeat trials to see if you have a lab test that proves safety and effectiveness, that can be done again with the same results? There are numerous variables to consider.
I use regular pharmacy meds but still work to manage the body pain against keeping a clear head. My pain is so uncontrolled that I'll bet almost nothing could get me "high". Everything goes to a screaming opiate receptor. Nothing for fun. True pain takes a lot of the joy out of drug abuse. All the joy really. Self limiting returns on usage. The more you take the less it works, and taking more does not increase effectiveness, to my experience.
I back off when I can so I have an option when a flair up happens. Meds only take the slightest edge off. It is wanting to do something useful that motivates me to get up despite having every step hurt. It's the attitude. That's why the depression sucks.
I want to move to California. And go natural. I would be better off.
