my experience with high CBD medical marijuana/cannabis

Hi all,

I noticed most of the existing threads on MM are a few years old, and it seems like the various MM treatments have changed a bit, so I thought I'd start this thread with some of my recent experiences.

I just got a MM card in Michigan and for the last week have been using a high CBD strain ("Scandanavian Moose Lodge" from LightSky) oil in a vaporizer. This is apparently a strain with such low THC that it has barely any psychoactive effects. I have tried smoking before and strongly experienced a 'paranoid' anxious feeling. But with the oil vaporizer, I didn't have that side effect at all.

As for the gut effects? My doctor cut me off from the Norcos I was getting after my most recent hospitalization, and so I was taking up to the max limit of Tylenol each day but still having persistent gut pain. The MM definitely helps with that, but the effects can wear off while I'm at work. I've noticed a bit more solid stools as well, with some reduced urgency. But from the short time I've been taking it, I can't really say whether the MM is causing that.

Any other experiences with CBD strains? Anyone experimenting with high CBD and high THC strains? Whole plant oils vs oils made from flowers? Any specific strains recommended? What has everyone's experience been lately?

I'm very curious about CBD as well. I have smoked weed before and I am not a fan of the way it makes me feel, but people have told me that CBD doesn't cause these effects because there is no THC? So I've been interested in this for anxiety, UC, stress management, better sleep, lots of reasons that I've heard it can help with.

Thanks for posting this, glad you are having some relief.
