I have found from many individuals who i have treated with the bio-bombs or just CCO that if they dosed right before they went to bed opposed to a hour or 2 before bed they would experience headaches( in some cases) and the lethargic "cannabis hangover" upon awakening.. I feel they almost need to feel the effects prior to sleep rather then dosing and immediately hitting the sack. Maybe it is the way the body is metabolizing it while in sleep mode? not sure. But once they started dosing 2 hours before bedtime they stop experiencing these symptoms. Coincidence Maybe?
Great point Sue. I think it is a good possibility that when the body is in the Dormant sleep mode , the cannabis may act differently in the body perse'. That would be more of your category Sue as you have extensive knowledge pertaining to how the ECS works.
I have years ahead before I'll feel like I understand the ECS. I often wish Cajun had hung around a bit longer, but then the field is in constant flux, and I'd still be in the same searching mode.
) and if you dose to late it might have a negative influence on the body liquids?
Ah new insight, when i smoke CBD (or dose differently) to late at night i seem to be sweaty during the night. Not something thats real tasty and i dont feel very rested when you wake up like that. Does anyone else experience that to?
Because of this i am real thirsty at the mornings and i feel a little dehydrated.
Cannabis also helps to get rid of waist toxics in your body and i have been told water is the only way to pick them up and make them move out of your body. I did not see study's this is told by me so no scientific proof.
If so its normal you wont drink when you sleep(right?
It's been my observation that sweats are much more closely tied to menopause.
I’d like to initiate a community conversation on personal regimens. I’ve been studying the endocannabinoid system and how cannabis therapeutics can enhance a life for a few years now and it occurs to me that the clinical data coming out about cannabis dosing may not be reflective of real-world use in our community.
I keep wondering how honest people are about reporting their true level of consumption to their doctors.
The clinical data I’ve noticed doesn’t come anywhere near my own usage, and I suspect many of you could say the same. As an example, Mara Gordon, one of the respected voices on cannabis dosing, has said that an average patient in her dispensary takes around 50 mg of total cannabinoids a day.
I take more than 50 mg of THC for breakfast. How about you? That’s what I thought.
This suggests that we’ve come up with creative ways to enjoy our euphoria as we treat the many physical concerns that sent us down the path of cannabis cultivation. For one thing, we have access to more cannabis than the average consumer, or at least that’s the goal of our collective obsession. For another, we aren’t afraid of euphoria.
I’d like to take a look at those adaptations you’ve made and see what we have in common. I’d also like to see if we can find ways to help each other get better results. Maybe by putting our heads together we can tweak the process here and there and come away richer for the experience and healthier to boot.
I have some questions to get you started. You share your answers and I’ll share mine. Together we’ll advance the knowledge on the many ways cannabis can bring relief, from our unique perspective.
The Questions
Be as detailed as you can, as wordy as you feel the need. If you use cannabis for recreation only then share that. The questions apply to everyone.
* Why do you personally use cannabis? I have been using since I was 14, I am going on 60. I use it to relax myself. Over the years I have learned which plants do what for what, so today I have many reasons why, but overall to relax.
* How long have you been using cannabis? Long Time, 46 years
* List any medications you’ve reduced or discontinued with cannabis use. aspirin, but I only have to take a ibuprofen when my diverticulosis flairs up, MJ can't reduce the inflammation fast enough. But other than that no other man made drugs. I drink alcohol and have a physical every year.
* If you use cannabis to treat chronic pain, how would you rate the level of relief you’re getting? Funny drug cannabis, as a tincture I make it relieves pain in 15 min where applied. After surgery it works better than morphine, along with the topical and a cookie.
indica cookie
* What administration method/s work best for you?
* What chemovar/s work for you? What makes them favorites?
* What chemovars don’t work for you? What experience caused you to discard them as an option? What in the heck is this?
* Describe in detail your personal regimen. Walk me through a typical day of cannabis use. I’m hoping for the fine details, when you take your first dose, how much you dose, what you eat before or after a dose, how cannabis use augments fitness and movement, dose cannabinoid values and ratios if you know them.....all of it.
Also, if you don’t mind this last question:
Do you work a full time job outside the home? and if so How do you commute to work?
You can’t be too detailed in your answers.
There’s no timeline on this little project. It’s more a centralized data bank in the end than anything else, and eventually what we learn here will find its way to more specialized threads. Let’s have fun with it.
