I am by no means suggesting someone who does not have the tolerance that I do try 40mg+. That would be silly. Smoke only what you are comfortable with, start low and dose up. You can always dose up, you can't dose down.
Im wondering which JWH series is the best for pain management? Im currently using jwh-073 as the 018 to me sounds somewhat frightening. I have had pulsing heart-rates from different drugs in the past and its not something i want repeated (which 018 is reported to do it higher doses) I'm an experienced hemp user in the past, (and lsd-shrooms) just not during the last ten years. Im also right now just taking the 073 orally, using food with higher saturated fats.
It's to bad you didn't keep some, there are a few simple tests that can check basic quality, though not really nail down what it is you have.
Something I've noticed since indulging in jwh073... there seems to be a fine layer of wax on my skin, when I shower or wash I scrub and scrub, but this waxiness persists. My GF notices this too. Also, I've begun to notice a taste/sensation somewhat like how licking stamps or envelope glue tastes/feels. When I do more jwh073 the effects are more pronounced.
Anyone else notice something like this?
I'm a medical cannabis user, and I am leary about this stuff. I am afraid of short and long term side effects, especially after reading some of this thread.
I did wonder if this would be a good substitute for cannabis in a medical situation, but I am afraid to even try it. I already have medical problems, and don't want to add to them.![]()
MMJ is not legal in my state or I would be a MMJ patient. Instead, I am forced to take drug tests so I can get my legal heroin for pain (oxymorphone).
Backasswards, ain't it?
I generally have the rule that I will use 1/4th of what I'm prescribed but only as needed. The rest sit... or something. I'm scripted 80mg oxymorphone, I take 5-10mg daily before bed (nasally, however).
It is easily the hardest drug I have had self-control issues and I can already see addiction in my future... I'm trying to balance risk/reward and keep it low, but tolerance I am sure will fuck me.
Fortunately there is almost no chance I will be forced to cold turkey quit as I am a pain center patient at many places and getting any opioid isn't really a problem with my level of pain and documentation so long as I can piss clean (minus opiates).

On topic: that is the reason I use these synthetics, though they have proven to have tremendous other value that cannabis does not: ie: easy transportability, easy to smoke anywhere, insanely easy to dose orally, and price is almost a none-factor compared to what I was spending on cannabis (1k a month average, though last summer I easily went through 8 grand - not to say I didn't recoup some, but still.). They're also a lot of fun to make your own blends with, and mix with other synthetics to get an entirely new drug... Also, I rather enjoy that if I want, I can make a blend that will give me a ~45 minute high, or one that will give me a ~3 hour high (combo of win/018/250/073).
The downside is there is nearly no documentation on these drugs - and soon my favorites (018) will become standardedly tested for. The half life isn't nearly as painful as cannabis though, so that's still not a huge issue... I am more concerned with the rumor mill of bad things - but I've used heavily for 5 months now, or around there, and suffered no ill side effects... In fact, JWH instead of weed has boosted my general attitude as well as willingness to stay clean & on top of my work - probably due to it's short duration.
