Hello..
Just wanted to make a thread about what I have learned about cannabis and my migraines and hopefully help someone.
I combusted herb as a kid, stopped for a job at age 18 , got my first migraine, started smoking again, stopped at 23 , migraines came back , very brutal for a few years, started to vape only at the age of 26 , migraines would become less frequent, I would quit , then a year or two would go by and I would need to renew my med card and began vaping, this cycle would go on for over a decade ( geesh, time really goes by)
I am 38, , had ct scans , been prescribed all kinds of pills , tried everything.
I have chosen to vape cannabis as a lifelong treatment as It reduces migraine frequency and makes the pain less severe when a full blown migraine has set in.
Cannabis is the lesser of all evils treating migraines in my case, It is not super cheap, and I would prefer a quick fix pill or drink or inhaler , but vaporizing brings relief in seconds , seems like if I have a constant stream of cbd and low dose thc all day everyday , it cuts down on migraine frequency.
Sorry for the long story, just wanted to say a little something and not just starting to list strains.
Number 1: strain that helps me the most hands down, Blue Dream , the floral smelling cut. There are a couple different cuts of Blue Dream I come across, the one that helps me the most smells floral, the smell of crayons comes to mind. It has alot of thick orange to light hairs, I go by the smell in this case .
- Jack Herrer is up there for relief , but when I have a migraine and feel like puking, the smell of Jack Herrer makes me more sick to my stomach.
Those two bring the most relief if you chose or need to stay awake.
I am experimenting with vape cartriges but the Blue Dream one is like 70% thc and worry one puff is too strong, will update this when I try that route, I have a AC/DC cart by Absolute Extracts that is roughly 5% thc / 60% CBD and does help a full blown migraine a bit, like may take the edge off for a few minutes , I use this when I can't be too medicated.
While I am vaping , I probably have ice packs on my head , taking alot of excedrin migraine , eye rubs from who ever will do it ,head rubs , guzzling caffein if I am not vomiting yet, and not eating food until migraine gone, except I may drink a amino acid drink , my intra workout stuff.

I would advise to stay away from whiplets and maybe get a big tank ,but again it is dangerous without supervision/sitter. Whiplets have some kind of machine oil inside to keep the metal from the corrosive gas.. It made my cracker can black from inside and i've seen it shooting black balls of oil into the balloon.Balloons are also very nasty,i used a NASAL baloon which was made of medical grade silicone.I now use nitroes from time to time,but i have a cream siphon, with a hose and have installed cotton filters and water filtration
