The multiple ailments thread

Ahh, now I see where the confusion arose.
Pandora is the soon to be ready plant, named Pandora for that is the strain, and Maria is the one that sprouted yesterday, named Maria for that's the strain name.
Sorry for the confusion
Makes more sense now. Wasn't sure if your wife was called Pandora and she wasn't allowing you to grow thc, the drugs minister for Belgium was called Pandora or if it was some reference to Pandoras Box and cannabis law not being open yet so growing thc was too risky.
CBD Crew and Medical Marijuana Genetics are the 2 high CBD breeders I've been using. Although I was sent a pack of seeds from Cannacoffee House in the UK. It was about even thc/cbd at a claimed 10%. A cross of Mr Nice Critical mass and a High cbd strain called Remedy but man what a taste off this stuff, and it was a nice well rounded feeling. Unfortunately we can't get these seeds anymore wisch is unfortunate as we have a bit of an emotional bond to this strain as it was the one that helped a friend come off heroin and start their journey to being better. I really regret not taking cuts and keeping a mum.
I tend to think that some strains don't actually address the pain, but the send your mind elsewhere and the pain becomes tolerable. Wish is where your full spectrum hunting will come into play.
The law here is simple. Growing is illegal but having one female plant is "the lowest prosecution priority". In other words, as long as you don't have kids and don't sell/share, nobody will care because it's not worth the paperwork. Have a spare room turned into a plantation, then you get shafted. Be like some of those caught in the last week or so with over 1000 plants, well, you'll find you won't be getting 4* hotel food where you're going. Ultimately, the golden rule applies, "Don't tell and mask the smell" for if nobody has the chance to say anything to the Boys in Blue then they won't be knocking on your door.
As far as going "full spectrum", there's no question that there's a psychological effect, but when you can physically feel the inflammation vanish, bits that were so warm you could almost fry an egg on them suddenly cool like you've hit them with an ice pack, then there's no doubt about the "physical" side of things, so for pain control there's no question regarding the physical effect and that's backed up by medical research. But, as you say, some strains don't have the same analgesic effect, and that's where the minefield is entered as many for sale are good for SOME things but not others, and a critical part is how it's used. I've found that out the hard way, shall we say, as my pain comes in various forms and the wrong strain can dull some forms but that means the others are amplified so I end up no better off than had I not consumed any. Too much in one hit can do the same, same as "medibles" can do the same. So it's very much trial and error, but that's part of the fun in life.
CBD, on it's own, also has other known effects, which do affect me thanks to the diabetes as it has been proven to be a VERY good aid regarding blood sugar control and diabetes itself thanks to it's anti-inflammatory properties, basically the effect is that it reduces vascular inflammation associated with metabolic syndrome which is associated with Type 2. And it will reduce blood sugar levels, hence why we get the munchies, as well as being a vasodilator which has obvious benefits regarding circulatory problems linked to diabetes. It's not a cure, obviously, only lifestyle changes like I made do that, but it is an aid and is why the Israelis have actually been developing CBD based medications to help treat Type 2.
I say all this because the whole MMJ thing is far more complicated than people realise, there's no "magic bullet", but that applies to "conventional" medication as well as I've lost count of the number of differenttoxins medications I've had the joys of swallowing over the years. What I do know is that CBD on it's own will reduce symptoms with me, but sometimes that "little bit extra" is needed which is why I've tended to go for the higher THC strains and then temper that with CBD as things can change on an hourly basis with me just with the slightest wrong movement. The biggest issue for me is how quickly my tolerance to anything rises so I don't get a choice about using as little as possible if I want it to have the right effect for as long as possible, and is why I take a break from any pain medication, whether it's weed or pharma, to bring things back a bit because I know how quickly I have to up doses if I ain't careful and higher doses of things like Codeine, or stronger, is never a good idea.

I'm in on this, we are playing with edibles. My wife has similar issues including the bpd. Ironically, if the bpd is in check then the pain is not so bad.
I was thinking a nice mix of Sativa and indica with a 1:1 thc to CBD ratio would be great. Still looking.

Like yourself, I have multiple physical problems...feet, knee, hip, back, migraines, etc. I use 1:2 thc/cbd strains as well as regular thc strains and sometimes I combine them depending on the situation.
For my sleep problem which is staying asleep after falling asleep, i like to use edibles that I make of various mg. which work better for me since it is my thought they work for a longer period of time unlike a of hits from the pipe/vape/joint etc. I consider edibles more of a "timed released" as opposed to immediate inhaled relief.
I sleep very sound now with at a minimum of 6 solid hours, but mostly at least 7 hours and I don't get up anymore at 3 am for the old man piss stop toilet run. Furthermore, when I awake I am less physically hurting than if I hadn't had an edible.
I have ABV(already been vaped) weed that I postulate may be high in cbn since it has already hit a higher temperature from vaping. I am looking forward to making edibles from it, since my thoughts are it may be beneficial for sleep.
Hope this helps you.

What kind of vape do you use? I don’t smoke anymore and the thought of having a splifferoo is quite appealing but I’d rather not because I know it’s really bad for your lungs. How does vaping it compare? I’ve been thinking about a combination of vaping and edibles myself but I don’t really know where to start tbh.

On the edibles:
I take my worst plant, chop it all up, decarboxylase 2/3 in the oven, throw the 2/3s and 1/3 raw in a slow cooker on low with coconut oil and stew for 2 hours. Strain and put back in original packaging. I did about two Oz's of plant made 1.5 litres of oil. We then keep in a cupboard and add 1/2 to 1 TSP in a cup of soup. Tastes ok and we both sleep like logs. Going to try ghee butter next time.
