Thanks Amy! I have the leftover Blueberry oil I made for the father of a woman in my office, and of course I have the Candida oil I take under my tongue every morning. The .5ml (5mg) dose seems to have no effect on me whatsoever so I should probably start higher.
Oh thanks! I got mesh when they did the right side and they said they will use it this time as well.
but 1ml of each is my starting point and what I use on regular days (every few hours). I hope it goes well for you buddy 
both the surgery and the recovery/pain management.
Blueberry is good for pain as well as muscles.I'm soliciting opinions on a non-growing topic! As I have mentioned, I'm going in for hernia repair surgery later this month, and this one will be open rather than laparoscopic. I have no idea how much more painful the recovery will be, but I bet it's going to be a lot!
While I have no problem taking Norco for pain, I'm considering THC as an option as well, seeing as I have some on hand.
I know many folks find THC great for chronic and migraine pain, but how about post-surgical sliced-your-body-open acute pain?
Here are a list of THC strains I have available, so if you have any experience on this, please let me know what you think:
AK-47
Bedroom Cookies
Berry Bomb
Blueberry
Blue Treacle
Brooklyn Sunrise
DTF
It's It Punch
Peyote Critical
Sour G
1:1 is what my wife uses for her bedtime regime which helps her with sleep and inflammation and pains. I would agree a 1:1 or 2:1 is best!!Always!
I grew a blueberry Auto and an amnesia auto side by side and the amnesia was squat and a little branch and the blueberry stretched to over a metre! Opposite of what we might’v expected. So yah - not predictable at all!
Pain - OK. The most published ratio I’ve seen for pain is 1:1 CBD:THC. It’s what i use and it’s great. We used a 2:1 ratio for my partner for the post surgical pain after lung surgery and that was initially alongside the opiates. The cannabinoids will help the opioids work better so you should be able to take less of them for the needed effect and then slowly transition off them completely onto the canna only. Under the tongue is still the best way - but caps would work too I guess. 1-2hrs is a long time to wait for a painkiller to kick in tho’. UNder the tongue hits me in 15 minute or so... SO my advice is, mix it with CBD for best effects and play with ratios a bit, knowing that 1:1 is, for many people, the ‘holy grail’ for pain
Do you increase your CBD. Dose? Have you found that the .5ml dose is optimal for you? Based on my wife’s charts from the doctor increasing up to 1.5ml/2x a day dose is completely acceptable and sometimes needed to find your threshold!
That is not my experience! Before I started using canna again and using it for pain, pain used to incorporate itself into my dreams, I would be in pain in my dreams and regularly woke up with pain. That statement would more accurately read “there’s no pain during sleep if you use cannabis effectively”
Thank you Amy. I will try 1:1 as the starting ratio and see how I feel.
Excellent!
Excellent! I love when great minds agree
.I haven't, though I really should. My CBD oil is for such a nebulous reason (post concussion syndrome) that I don't know what is the correct dose. I just know that CBD is good for brains and concussions!
Is that all at once or spread throughout the day? I found that the few times I took the CBD oil in the afternoon I had trouble sleeping that night. It happened only twice so it might have been coincidental, but now I only take it in the mornings.
Is that included in the 1.5ml she takes a day? Thanks for the great info Dutch.

You should plant it! Or it will drown
Sorry, I laughed at this post but it has nothing to do with the pain you were in. That would have been horrible. Schlepping!

I've had several surgeries in the past few yrs - one of which was for an umbilical hernia. Surprisingly, I was on a cannabis break during that time (about 30 yrs LOL) so I didn't even consider taking any for the post op pain - go figure. I think I just took the Norco for about 4 days.
Of that list, the only one I've had first-hand experience with is the Blueberry. I have to agree that Blueberry is a good choice - it is the best of my current selection for back and muscle pains. Certainly indica over sativa.
What is that wire sticking into the peat? A temperature probe?
I wouldn't think LST on an auto would give much benefit since the veg time is so short. I'll be watching closely and probably learning greatly.
Hey buddy nice grow yet again! I didn't know those autos grew that fast or you just gave them extra special loving!
I haven't had that happen before. They just seem to get longer tails like those that use the paper towel method.You should plant it! Or it will drown
#schlepping!
Damn Crazy. I sleep okay when I'm sleeping, but I'm not in any pain (yet)...
That would be great, thanks Dutch! So she mostly splits it into 2x a day with a bit at bedtime yes? And are the CBD doses capsules or under the tongue?
See MrS below!
This! And also the soil level isn't as high as it should have been. To counter this, I'm not tying it to the side of the pot, but down into the soil with a twist-tie on a stick.
I can handle 4 days of Norco (I have the whole week off) but I want to try to stay with two days and then move to tylenol, advil, and canna-meds.
Thanks! Consensus
Indeed. I try to keep the peat as close to 80ºF as possible.
You should check out my LST thread! It won't accomplish as much with a really short veg (it will still help), but it can do amazing things with a cooperative auto (pardon the rot!):
DK! I'm glad you made it over . The wire is a temperature probe, and these are the slowest -starting autos I've ever done .
