So it has only been about a week I have been on medical marijuana. Here is my story so far.
I had not touched MJ in over 10 years after a bad experience where I said F it, I give up. One day recently someone brought a pen w/ them to a bday party, and I said f it and just took 2 small puffs . I do suffer from anxiety and pain. Well the pen helped! Not much later in talking to a friend, he had access to 510 carts and I bought a cheap pen and mircodosed w/ those and found it very helpful.
So at the dispensary I bought 4 strains. 1/8 high CBD called Harlequin, 1/8 daytime either straight up Sativa or Hybrid called Golden Goat (in shake) 1/8 OG Kush (in shake) and 1/8 ~90% Indica for night called Blackwater.
I get home after dispensary a bit too excited to try my vapes and my bud. I play it smart and puff on the Harlequin and feel great! It was daytime so I took out that God awful shake (not strain) and took a few rips off of the Golden Goat. I overdid it. I did not enjoy it one bit. So for the next few days I stick w/ only the High CBD strain, not great tasting, not gross, not great vapor production. But very effective for treatment!
Last night I tired to mircodose w/ the strong Indica, that most reviews on Leafy and it's description from dispensary were right. in saying, it can knock you on your tush and is best for night use! I got a bunch of great rips from my M ) And I was VERY high. My mind was all over the place, my eyes would close, I was able to help w/ my son because parental instincts are strong. But it was not a great experience. I did my best to keep my thoughts positive, which helped. But w/ ~5 really great clouds from the M, I can honestly say, I was too high for my liking making me want to give up already. It did feel good to say all this out loud to my wife who supports me well.
Side Note...One bad thing to say about dispensary, and that is the fine grind basically dust that is their shake, will never ever buy again as I find it useless to vape and if combusted would just burn away crazy fast!! So I am taking the OG Kush in shake and the other (which I want in bud) and just giving them to a loved one to do w/ as he pleases.
Not ready to give up on the high potency stuff, but think I will take the advice of grinding 10-20% of that w/ the rest being the high CBD strain.
Also I still have 2.5 510 carts that do a great job of microdosing. And my high CBD which is great before and right after work.
I think dispensaries need to tell folk like me to microdose. I can't imagine someone who it has been a long time for, or maybe a 1st time for someone, packing a big bowl of a strong indica or sativa and possibly have it throw them off of the treatment like it almost did me. Also, no WAY i was driving.
