I'm a daily user and a bit of a late bloomer - I only started after I had brain surgery in 2019 and nothing else was working for my nerve pain. I refused strong painkillers I was offered like ketamine injections after an awful experience on my first appointment. The hallucinations I went through were just brutal, and my neuro quietly suggested weed. It worked absolutely perfectly, but the bummer is that I'm just hooked now. I also have pretty expensive taste in weed (I smoke mostly strong keef-coated Js) - when I was seeing SPs, I smoked a sativa J before the appointment, it really had an effect on me, my stamina was terrific and I had 3 or 4 rounds in me, easy. I usually booked 3 or 4 hr appointments, so time would never be an issue.
At some point, I know it's gotta go, even for edibles....but I'm so afraid of those mind-numbing headaches returning that I keep smoking...the biggest reason why I will eventually have to quit is that I'm civvie dating these days, and most women hate it.
