Hi mate, yeah, we started off growing high CBD plants, but it didnt really hit the spot. We found higher THC plants were good for the pain.
Her ailments, where so i start
She had a condition called hip dysplasia that caused unreal pain, that is why she is on the opiates.. She has now had the operation to fix it, that's called a periacetabular osteotomy, look it up, its brutal; but the pain is actually worse after the op.
Plus, she as an autoimmune disease which is attacking all her joints with arthritis.
This was caused by a spider bite 10 years ago, which also brought on ME or chronic fatigue syndrome. She's went from being able to swim 3 mile a day, even though she was in pain, to not being able to get down the stairs at all.. She's basically bed bound.. but, the cannabis gives her mobility, enough to where she can use the shower unaided. She did get given medical cannabis 8 years ago, through a private pain clinic, but all it did was switch her off into couch lock.
So it wasn't any better than the opiates..
I believe, being on tramadol for 20 years is part of the reason she isn't healing, so that's why I decided to start looking for the perfect plant.
We actually got some street weed years ago, that gave her energy, pain free mobility, but we did not know what strain it was.. so my search continues.
