Opioid Tapering With Cannabis: A Regimen

Dirtdemon said:
Hi SS, for the oil now we use coconut oil, and the sun flower lecithin ( you are not kidding about the bioavailability, since we started using it with the oil one cookie takes affect faster and works better for pain).you are a endless wealth of knowledge that is priceless :hugs::hugs::hugs:

If you use olive oil the cannabinoids avoid the First Pass through the liver by being absorbed into the lymphatic system instead. This gives them more time to find cells in need of signalling. Cells releasing chemicals that're causing you pain.

The primary home of the immune system cells is the lymphatic system, and it's from this base that cannabinoids work most to reduce the inflammatory response that's causing most of the discomfort.

Try a small batch and see if it works better. When you test like that it's helpful to try the dose for two weeks before changing anything.

Coconut oil caps are indespensible for getting the cannabinoids to the liver lickety-split, where they get converted, and delta-9 THC becomes my favorite, 11-hydroxy. When you want to be high quick and long, coconut oil capsules are what you reach for.

When you're treating lots of inflammation olive oil increases your odds of long-term relief. It'll do heaps for calming the overheated injured areas.

Jones, you know I love you. Your posting style - everything in a continuious stream of consciousness Lol! - can be taxing to wade through.

What you shared in this post was pretty invaluable, so I took the time to break it up, without changing any of your words. I'm not interested in changing your voice, but from time to time it's helpful to allow me to translate or reformat. :hugs::hugs::hugs:



What Jones shared:
*so anotherwards (being hospitalized)
- i have to take it super slow
- n wen i get nauseous have to combat it right away
- so ive been using bio bombs i make from a recipe i got from sweetsue on here

* n i use the strains black domina alot since its the one im using in making my own cross an it
- helps with my pain
-n depression alot
-an even with my nausea a tad

* and then strawberry cake
-both of which (both mentioned chemovars) help with the depression
- but this one helps with my nausea aspect of getting off opoids better then my cross

* and now ive started to grow master kush and blue cheese
- which r supposed to help alot with pain also.

So those r a few of the main photo strains im using.

Now as for autos im using red poison from sweet seeds
- man that makes great concentrate
- and is jus a plain good tasting smoke lol
- an really helps give me an appetite
- and helps alot to lift the spirits up if ur feeling down and depressed.

An tangie'matic which the tangie
- makes great concentrates or oil
- u get alot from this strain.

An bluedream also alot of triches with this strain

and gorilla glue
which is an insane yielder and frosty as hell lol this one really helps with the pain.

Im noticing that the concentrates r what helps with my pain the most
- if i take a nice fat dab my pain goes dwn quite abit
-but it dnt last long

so im in hopes of fine tunning the list a tad and finding one that works great when i make some biobomb capsules and maybe that will make the pain coverage last longer..

Hey everyone Mandi and I send our best to each and everyone of y’all. I feel good today. I was a little sad yesterday for no apparent reason but it has passed. Maybe because I went to check garden in the forest and 4 dwarf low flyer were ready. There drying now waiting to be turned into biobomb. I forgot how fast dlf finishes it was a nice surprise to see that I got 1/4 lbs dry weight I figure. My estimates are usually light so maybe more wahoo.
Have a great day y’all.
 
Yahoo! :high-five:
 
Hi y’all. Hope everyone’s day is going great. I’m having a rough day. All I can think about dang perks. Idk why today is like this but I’m trying to keep busy and it’s not really helping much. Well I guess it is I am still clean and that’s something, that’s everything actually. I will be so thankful when days like these are behind me. Well it’s like 30 plus Celsius here so I’m gonna go walk until I can’t walk no more then walk back lol.

Are you following any structured taper Jones? By that I mean are you taking cannabis with the opioid dose and deliberately substituting cannabis for the opioids?

Made me smile real big to read that testimony. :battingeyelashes: The pain is real. The courage you men show in finding successful pathways away from the opioids and back to more natural means of pain control ...... Well dammit... You take my breath away.

And it makes that fire burn a bit hotter. :circle-of-love:

Thanks y’all, I’m trying my absolute best. It’s working so far. :high-five::passitleft::hugs:

You know what I expect from you? That you keep breathing out and breathing in. You're on the home stretch. That's why it's so difficult to stop thinking about it. It's more challenging than we often admit to let go of the stories we've been telling ourselves and others about who we are. Some of the stories are less than favorable, and don't feel good when we tell them, do they?

The sooner we learn to tell better stories the easier it is for our healing force to follow the more joyful path. Your brain doesn't know the difference between reality and what you tell it. It accepts what you tell it as reality. When I really understood that it made me pause and consider the stories I'd been telling myself. Not a pretty sight. :confused: I deliberately shifted my narratives, starting with a permanent moratorium on self-recrimination. I'm not big on judgement. Life's a lot more fun without it. Lol!

You get to write the stories. I personally write stories filled with love and laughter, the satisfaction of challenges overcome, the thrill of every new dawn, another chance to play with the cosmos and hug my daughter. Stories of friends who stand by through thick and thin. Stories of joyful expectation of the good that I know with confidence lies ahead.

I have cards with affirmations taped up all over my house. Lol! Index cards with little joyful prayers lie scattered about to catch the eye and cue a recitation. It's hard to forget how wonderful a day is when you keep reminding yourself. :battingeyelashes:

I wanted to be sure when my husband died that I never forgot that I promised him I'd not only survive, I'd thrive. I wrote better stories than a life filled with grief.

Look. It came true. :slide: Just like your own stories about your promising future will. Write some hugs in. They're a healing force all their own.

Hey @Dirtdemon, couldn't be prouder of you. :hugs::hugs::hugs:
 
:hugs::hugs::hugs: Awe Thank You SweetSue. I couldn’t have done it without y’all and my Mandi. I think we are connected through some cosmic force, I started writing on Saturday, I was trying to focus on anything but pills. I grabbed a binder and started with my first memories of hunting with my grandfather. I don’t know why I started with that it just flowed on the paper.
I need to get ready for gym.
:hugs::hugs::hugs:
 
Morning y’all, I couldn’t make it through the workout today. I pushed to hard, I scared the trainer she wouldn’t let me finish. She wanted to call a ambulance silly lady. It’s been about 45 minutes my heart rate has slowed down and my breathing as well. I have to learn to put my pride aside and go slower. I’ll get it eventually. It’s rest time still for me hope everyone has a great day

Keep an eye on that heart rate buddy. I had a serious cardiac issue when I detoxed. If I hadn't been in a hospital when it happened, it would have likely been a heart attack... at 28 years old. Mine was during withdrawal, but still, something to be mindful of.
Keep on truckin' you're killing it!

Hi demon. Ask them to recommend a target heart rate. Once there you can maintain it without getting too high a rate.

Hello ;) SS thanks for the hugs :hugs::hugs::hugs:. I absolutely want to share my writing with you I would be honoured to have your opinion.
Update time today has been a great day, I tinted the windows on my pickup lmao. That didn’t turn out so well, cut that shit 3 times still too short. Second side turned out good but I didn’t have enough material left to fix the driver side. So I went to a window shop to get a piece and it’s only $100 for them to do it. So Friday it goes in to get done I was $75 in already lol I should have called first.
Going to see Mandi in at work she forgot some stuff wahoo I like when she does that. Breaks up the week and well I love seeing her hehe. I think I’m going to start hiding some of her stuff so I can go every week lol.
Back to the update other than over doing it at the gym I felt good today no urges lots of laughing because I screwed up the tint. Awesome day.
Mandi sends:hugs::hugs::hugs: and says awe.
:hugs::hugs::hugs: :thanks:
 
Sounds like a deliciously normal day, the beginning of a long stream of such days. :circle-of-love:
