    Watching Episode 3, available till 8PM EDT.

    I've listened to each episode 3-4 times.

    It's making me consider cannabis for my lower back pain and I'm going to talk to my daughter about considering it for her migraines. She takes WAY too much tylenol and ibuprofen ... especially with the info coming out about the way long term ibuprofen affects the heart.

    The amitriptyline my dr had me on for my lower back just made me not feel like myself, no matter how low a dose I took. Didn't like it at all.

    Consider botox for migraines.

    The two main active substances in cannabis are THC which produces the high and cannabidiol (CBD) which doesn't. Drug producers have recently cultivated cannabis with more THC and less CBD and the resulting drug (skunk) produces more psychiatric problems in users because the CBD neutralizes the dangerous effects of the THC to some degree.

    Right... in the documentaries, they're saying they have to be very selective in the plant strains they use.

    As the link points out, CBD oil is not difficult to obtain if it is legal where you live. Try that first before trying anything containing substantial amounts of THC, avoiding the high is the Christian thing to do.

    They also discuss, in the documentary, that often the best results are acquired using a well balanced THC/CBD strain or mixture. Depends on what they're treating and the results they're looking for.

    The people resorting to Cannabis are looking for RESULTS, not a high.

    You might get the result you are looking for without the THC. There are lots of people that go specifically for the CBD only option. Some of them aren't Christians, they are just sensible, conscientious people.

    You DO realize that you just implied that I'm looking for an excuse to use Cannabis to get high and that I may not be a sensible, conscientious person?

    You can stop with the unsolicited advice any time.

    I'M WATCHING THE DOCUMENTARY and your posts are quite redundant.
