Please move this whereever it belongs. I was thinking about tapering off the bupe and seeing if cannabis had any potential to manage my condition which from everything I've heard from therapists and doctors is chronic pain from bulging discs complicated by opioid disorder. Although I hardly notice anything from bupe, I'm pretty sure it's not just a placebo effect that is keeping me relatively stable. Some of you here at BL know my background and are aware I'm older. I know it's true that aches and pains are just part of the aging process and I could very well be deceiving myself about insisting that that the pain is bad enough to justify bupe. Many of the people I saw in the waiting room at my pain management doctors office where obviously much worse off than me.
In the long term, I was thinking about tapering off the bupe and seeing if cannabis had any potential to manage my condition which from everything I've heard from therapists and doctors is chronic pain from bulging discs complicated by opioid disorder, with a little social anxiety on the side. My wife is onboard with this idea but Florida cannot or will not implement the law the the people voted overwhelmingly in favor of. At this point in time it seems they want to only allow a liquid formulation of cannabis which I guess is fine it it does what it is supposed to do.
Anyway my wife has begrudgingly authorized a trip to Colorado to gauge exactly what the potential is. I understand there is sativa and indica but the nuances of their differences is not clear to me. I've heard these Wanna edibles are better for older people. Any thoughts on if this is hype or true? Mainly I would be interested in something that could help with pain and sleep and I wouldn't mind if it improved my mood. I'm looking at this as a long term thing and if it did show some potential, I would be using cannabis after I got off the bupe. So I'm not looking at it as an adjunct to getting off bupe. I am not willing to risk taking any cannabis products across the Colorado border although I am curious in how risky this actually is if anyone wanted to chime in on that. I won't be in Colorado very long so any advice on how to minimize wasting my time on unexpected surprises are welcome from y'all. I know it's mostly a cash business and I know I must produce authentic identification.
