Lebanese landrace has some really high cbd plants. Good to mix with high thc variety in edibles. That’s what I do. Or if the pain is really bad eat some hash oil.
Most northern landraces ( upper 20’s to upper 30’s latitude or so ) will have( 50%) 1 : 1 ratio in a population.
I couldn’t agree more regarding types of pain and finding a ratio that works well for it. Also agree regarding plant count. Should be allowed many more non flowering plants for genetic discovery. At times I have flowered plants for a couple or few weeks to reveal the keepers ( that is enough time for this particular type), then outdoors to revert to veg and grow for the season with the good ones and toss the rest. How do you keep a variety healthy with so few? At the very least, plants in veg should not count, including mothers. Not should male plants count.
I have a similar problem to you, C spine injury with 5 vertebrae herniated and pressing into my spinal cord which has no spinal fluid in it to buffer any movement.
I find smoking only acts as a distraction, edibles work well on the pain. I use THC and CBD RSO my THC oil is made from Grand Daddy Purple, and the CBD is from Sebrings Revenge CBD feminized seeds, which is 20-22% CBD and less than 2% THC, very resinous and a great plant to grow, trains really well and handles a lot of stress. Sebring is on this forum, if you have not come across the name yet.
Sleeping is my biggest problem getting into a comfortable position, so I find smoking a bit of CBD before bed improves that, with the oils.
If my neck gets into a full blown pinch, luckily not often, then nothing really helps, except keeping perfectly still, and lots of oil to take the edge off it. It takes time for the CBD to start working on the inflammation and gets better the more you use it.
Howdy shady. Nice to find you here. Sounds like we have similar injuries. I have a herniated/ extruded L5s-1 and L5. Then couple years later fell 18 ft onto my ass and compacted all my vertebrae. I feel yr pain. How many mg cbd do you take a day? What brand? (Or yr own?) 22% cbd? That’s great! I keep waiting for a strong non fem ibl. Cbd is so expensive where I live. I generally take it for a month or so and then start to Slack off because the pain isn’t so bad and the cost is so high.It’s not a two minute cure. You do have to take it with Some regularity to feel it’s majic, tho topical creme works right away for me for arthritis. Ingesting hash oil is where it’s at for those really bad days for me as well. It’s the only thing that helps. Usually knocks me out but during the moments I am awake there is absolutely NO pain.
I have never really measured it the amount I take, I am lucky I have a low tolerance. I take the CBD oil in the morning so I can drive if I have to go out, probably about 100 mg and then in the afternoon when I know I am not going out anywhere, I will take the same amount of THC oil.
Then around 6 pm I will start to smoke my pipe until I go to bed, I usually just jam a lump about a quarter of a gram size in it of THC stuff and then when going to bed half a dozen puffs of CBD.
I make my own oil in a still.

Sounds pretty sweet. What color oil? Mine is quite dark, I assume from chlorophyll.
It’s usually dark brown, depends on how long the weed has been sitting, the longer it sits the less chlorophyll there is, also if you let the alcohol and THC mixture sit in direct sunlight for a couple of hours, it removes a lot of the chlorophyll. Certainly improves the taste.
Removes chlorophyll from previously dried material and improves the taste? Great tip. Will try that next time. Have also heard that soaking in water first can remove chlorophyll, but I was afraid to screw something up doing that.
@Shadey and @Upstate it sounds like you guys have it figured out. And it sounds like you guys are treating pain similar to mine. I totally understand what you say about laying still being the only thing that helps…I spend way to much time flat on my back but there are times that is the only way to get some relief.
Smoking does help me deal with the times I am really down with pain, the mental part of it but I don’t get much pain relief. I think I am going to go to town and get a rice cooker today and touch base with @Sebring and see about some of those cbd seed. The cbd oil is so expensive here there is no way I could afford to medicate properly. I can’t thank you guys enough, I truly feel I am on my way to finding some relief.
An inversion table got me walking again after a nasty fall.
Oddly enough the thing that worked best for me was a lower back workout. I used a machine that targets the lumbar area and I was walking around without pain for a week before I had to do anything again. It just made me want to keep it up now.
Walking is to be the best for lower back
Not for my case unfortunately. Walking feels like a spike being driven into my sciatic nerve. It sucks as that’s 90% of my jobs 
Are you able to sit, unsupported, on the floor?
If so, I may have a simple stretch for you (that has helped me enormously.)
For short periods yes. I usually get up and find an odd position to sit in or lay in to be able to relax. Part of the reason is my middle back is warping out in a spot now as well 
no matter my posture. Even bending backwards it’s still sticking out:grimacing:
Currently the standing position that helps most is my toes pointed straight out and legs spread. It looks strange AF, but I’ve never really cared about people’s impression of how I look in public. I care about my comfort and pain levels above all else. Because of this I’m constantly being flirted at by dudes:skull: just because I choose to stand a certain way doesn’t mean I swing that way LoL 
I have made some of my best friends out of that confusion though.
Straight out parallel or straight out penguin style?
To paraphrase a teacher I once had:
If your friends don’t like the way you stand, get new friends.
Try this. If it hurts DON’T DO IT.
One leg bent (heel under same buttock) knee and top of foot on the ground. The other leg as straight and as forward as comfort allows.
The work is in:
Support yourself with both hands on the floor if that’s useful. Hold until you feel small releases in your low back, then gently switch sides.
Note: I have no formal kinesiology training. This is strictly what I have found that works for my long, slim, aging body.
Same body type. I might be a little too flexible normally as I just got my leg out flat against the ground and my lower back didn’t stretch as much as it did with that machine I found at planet fitness. I was a little wobbly after, but I was walking without pain for days after that one workout. It was only 5-10 minutes too.
Also it depends on the day. Currently it’s straight out. Others I can’t walk without waddling like a penguin
If it’s easy, work toward getting your stomach to touch the thigh of your bent leg. Stretch for the extended toes. Listen to the inside of your body, (what does it want to do with the tiny supporting muscles,) rather than any “achievement”. It should not hurt at any point, go slowly.
I do a similar stretch at work actually. Similar to touching your toes, but I almost do a split and reach for my toes on the extended forward foot. Followed by clasping my hands together under my knees while partially bent at the knees and pulling up. It stretches the sciatic area for me when I do that. It’s a bandage fix though as it only extends the time before pain instead of working on the problem
