Very relaxing While this may be partly sarcastic (?) it is dead accurate as well. Finally got my dad to try some edibles, and even the THC/CBD sodas they have. And they immediately took all his elderly back and knee pain away. He's been dabbling regularly since. Sincerely, just partake in the now-legalized cannabis and enjoy. May even get benefits and issues addressed that you werent expecting! edit: Get a 6er of these guys and enjoy Edited April 11, 2023 by DrDawkinstein 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PastaJoe Posted April 11, 2023 Share Posted April 11, 2023 I bought a salve for my wife’s back pain. She goes to a chiropractor every other week. 1 ounce of 1,000 mg hemp extract for around $45. It’s lasted for months as she uses as needed. Usually if she’s doing gardening or sitting for too long quilting. I rub it on her sore back and she says it relieves the pain in minutes for the day.

Delta 9 is regular old THC that you get smoking the illegal weed we all know and love. Delta 8 is the synthetic, non-trippy stuff that is included in the hemp/CBD stuff. I'm not trying to rain on your parade as much as be very clear and specific on what folks are consuming. But the moon rock you are buying in Florida is not the moon rock someone would get in a legal state. The legal-state moon rocks would put a first-timer into a coma. I want to make this distinction so a newb doesnt find themselves signing up for a trip they weren't expecting. edit: haha, you can click "disagree" all you want, but that doesnt change the fact you arent getting the same thing folks get at legal state dispensaries. And acting like you are could really put someone in a dangerous situation. Edited April 11, 2023 by DrDawkinstein 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can at least give some direction on things to look for as while there are some promising developments, the CBD / hemp derived product industry is quite a bit more of a “Wild West” than regulated medicinal or adult use markets.

Who needs this cbd/delta 8 crap when the real thing is available. old timers were wrong about a bunch of things, throw this on the list. If you’re just talking getting high, sure the “regular stuff” is going to do the job. But CBD has some promising applications and we’re just scratching the surface of our knowledge on Delta 8. When isolated correctly from “real” labs and equipment, there’s therapeutic potential for both. 1 hour ago, DrDawkinstein said: Delta 9 is regular old THC that you get smoking the illegal weed we all know and love.

And acting like you are could really put someone in a dangerous situation. While less potent, Delta 8 is in fact psychoactive. It binds differently to cannabinoid receptors in general, so the effects are typically more subdued. Take enough, and you’ll still get there. It’s also naturally occurring in the plant, just not in commercially available amounts that’s why the stuff you see for sale “made” from CBD in the lab. 3 hours ago, teef said: the place by me has moonrocks as well, and i grab it when i can. nys is weird. there was a lawsuit stopping licenses being awarded in most parts of the state. recently they just lifted hold in all areas of ny except one...the finger lakes region...my region. it's so annoying. that being said, there are dispensaries everywhere. they operate fully out in the open, and not a soul seems to care. It’s a complicated legal issue at this point that stems from the social equity and diversity initiatives that NY included in their licensing awards. Definitely an unintended consequence of how they set up the system. Like you said, illegal places keep popping up everywhere while other “legitimate” businesses still sit on the sidelines. There’s been an injunction in place preventing issuing of new licenses in those areas while they try and sort it out. It’s kind of a mess. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no emoji adequate for this. Period. I’ve tried a roll on for my bad right shoulder. I put a lot of miles on that shoulder. It seemed to be helping, but that could be the placebo effect or I just didn’t sleep on my right side much then. I must say, it smelled suspiciously like BenGay.

I must say, it smelled suspiciously like BenGay. There’s not a lot of good evidence right now for topical / transdermal delivery of Cannabinoids. Cannabinoids present some unique challenges from a drug delivery standpoint in general, and those types of products are at the top of the list. There’s a lot less bioactivity when compared to smoking / vaping, ingestion, sublingual, etc. That’s not to say good topicals are impossible or non-existent, there just haven’t been a lot of proper studies backing it up past anecdotal evidence. There is a LOT of individual variability in peoples response to Cannabinoids and as a whole, we really don’t know squat about them. The barriers to research are significant and as that has started to change, we will see a rapid increase in our understanding. Perhaps in 10 or 20 years we will know more about WHY the same couple hits of weed can put someone close to an ER visit while others can go about their day like nothing is different. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s kind of a mess. it really has been a mess, very a la ny. there just seems to be no rhyme or reason as to why certain regions are being allowed and others aren't. i feel bad for some that are trying to open a store with an actual license. Some are paying for store fronts they can't sell in yet, and others claim the product in going bad. hopefully all regions are given the green light by this summer, and the actual dispensaries open. the ones now seem to be mostly head shops that sell product. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Syracuse cracked down on places without a license several months ago. Last fall, a place opened a few doors down from where I work, constant stream of people in and out. I noticed shortly after Syr stated they were stopping places from selling, that the store was not open anymore. Not sure if they were made to close, or closed on their own.

I'm not elderly but have chronic pain and multiple disabilities. I use some form of THC/CBD daily. Its much better than pain pills. Some can get me to a point where I'm almost normal. Just be careful with THC if they're not used to it esp in edibles. Edited April 12, 2023 by Not at the table Karlos Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irv Posted November 13, 2023 Share Posted November 13, 2023 (edited) I have a torn meniscus. I bought a 4oz jar of CBD about the size of a Noxzema jar's worth. It was very expensive ~$130. I have been trying it for over a month and frankly it doesn't work. I noticed no relief. I asked my Dr about it and he said it works on cats and dogs but not humans. He said buy the real thing from "Wille Nelson's Place". I also agree with @Not at the table Karlosabout the THC edibles. It seems to me that they are not very well regulated. Some don't do anything. The others make you comatose. Be careful. Edited November 13, 2023 by Irv Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact after being a daily smoker for a long time, a bad edible changed my life lol. It may not be as popular but the delta 8 works really well for me. It's legal literally everywhere and you can have it shipped to your house. It has the calming effectives without the strong head buzz. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
