Short background info: 33 yrs, male, long and checkered history of drug use, been whiddling down to clean over the last 4 years thanks in large part to an ibogaine experience. Currently kicking my last 5mg of oxycodone prescribed for pain related to 3rd degree burns/skin grafts.. Ok, so due in part to my general love of marijuana, and spurred on by the completely crazy situation surrounding opioid medications on a national level, my PCP dr and I decided that immediately tapering/ceasing opioid medications was in order. I was burned 5 mos ago in an electrical fire, and have been dealing w/pain and infection issues ever since. The obvious path to go in California if you are foregoing opiates for pain is, of course, cannibanoids. Starting this out I already had a healthy norCal THC tolerance, so I have been exploring fully the world of dabs and concentrates available on the medical market currently. Today I was in pain. I was tolerant to all the concentrates I had around, and wanted something different. I found a store near me that stocks a new product - delta-8 thc extract. Described as anxiolitic, analgesic, I said fuck yeah! The concentrate is completely clear, soft and gummy. Flavor nearly non-existent. Material very hard to work with, a flash in the freezer helps. Second dab in with no competing delta-9... definitely psychoactive. I can see maybe 75% by weight. Different though. I immediately notice some neck/shoulder tension subsiding, even a little flush like I would expect w/normal thc. The most obvious difference I can tell is additional pain relief/muscle relaxation and a distinct lack of tachycardia. I am still having some anxiety related thoughts, it's just the physical manifestations of that anxiety are not also reflected like it would be w delta-9. I wonder if I can dab this w/regular wax or if delta-8 and 9 compete for CB1 receptors? I think this is a worthy addition to the pain control arsenal.
PS: this stuff makes you hungry as hell. They are advertising it for wasting syndrome, cancer etc... and it works great for that.
