Cannabis Absorption??

[CaraOC]

I was wondering if any other post op DS patients have tried edible cannabis? I have and it did nothing. Absolutely nothing. I'm assuming it's an oil based issue and not absorbed. I don't like smoking so I guess recreational use isn't possible.

What was the THC vs CBD ratio?

I couldn't tell if it was working (for pain relief) or if it SHOULD BE, until I made sure It had SOME THC in it. Then, when I could feel the THC, I knew that my body was recognizing the presence of the drug...

Anyway...if it’s for recreation, you don’t want to accidentally get something that’s all CBD. I used gummies. I never tried the little freebie cupcakes or the big ole whatever it is that was for smoking, because I have COPD. BUT, COPD considerations aside, I do have a vape pen that I used to help extend the time between opioids when
I was in horrid pain. I can feel that stuff right away, but use VERY limited amounts because...my breathing.

HTH

besides vaping, another option is tinctures. You should be able to absorb sublingually, if that's a word.

I hope you live where you can visit a dispensary?

Right! I forgot about those.

CaraOC DOES live in a hippy state, so she’s cool.

Have no idea if this is DS related or not but I bought some edibles, Indica, for sleep. And I wanted to get high too. I got the highest dosage of THC available, 10mg. I slept well but I did not get high at all. Jeff didn't get high either though. I started doing some reading and apparently quite a few people do not get high from the edibles. So for me the edibles are not worth the money. I even tried a 30mg dose and nothing.

Since we're on the subject... I will be going to CO soon and want to get some edibles, mostly for sleep and appetite stimulation. Any suggestions for ingredients and "dosage"? Also, I know possession is illegal in TN, but what about carrying it on a plane? My DH has vowed to claim he doesn't know me if I get arrested. He also said he'd leave me in CO. JackieOnLine We could meet up and raise hell. LOL

Something I never thought about before. lol.

Blood level is more consistent with tinctures and edibles. Smoked produces sharp blood level rise.

You wont get very high with edibles unless you ingest a large amount.

I'm in!

Smoked produces sharp blood level rise.

I suppose vaping does, too, but it's worth trying.

it's interesting the DS apparently messes with absorption when edibles are hard to find the dose you need anyway. Another level of complexity.

I know the feds are against it but I'm sure it's being done. every legal state's airport must be aware of it, the question is, are they looking for it?
could you mail it home to yourself? also not legal but seems less...stressful. airports are no fun as it is!

I'm thinking of ways to mail or ship it. I am a bit leery. The part about the planes makes no sense to me. Why would the crew be going through my carry- on in flight? Who's going to be in the belly of the plane searching through all the luggage? I'm going to ask employees at the shop. If they can't advise me, at least I asked.

 

[JackieOnLine]

you can't be the only one who wants to know!

A dog.

All it takes is one dog.

IF it's on Amazon, which ships damned near everything, why can't it go sealed to your residence.
