Mephistoās CannaCheese. Itās an Auto fem 1:1 THC:CBD strain. They estimate 8% THC and 8% CBD. I love the combo of body relaxation and pain relief, with a nice head adjustment.

I bought some 1:1 capsules and took one before work. It was a good thing I had a lazy partner and we basically wasted the day away, I was fucked up enough to not trust myself with tools. I need to make some edibles, I put some raw CBD into oil and a few drops under the tongue helps. The funny thing is I grew a few different THC strains and they do not get me that stoned. If I smoke enough to get a buzz I get a weed hangover the next day.
There are different kinds of pain, weed works pretty good on neurological pain, pain due to an injury, not so much.

I recently got some more bad news, this time for my lumbar spine.
The surgeon who I was referred to declined to see me, which is frustrating but not surprising- I am a rather poor surgical candidate with state-sponsored Medicaid insurance.
I am having additional MRIs of my cervical and sacral spine and pelvis done in a couple of days, which I am seriously dreading. Itās got to be done, though.
Whatever is going on is bad. Iām in constant pain, especially with my left leg, and my quality of life is poor. I canāt stand long enough to fix a cup of coffee, cook, brush my teeth, take a shower, etc and itās all I can do to take care of my cat.
Is there anything in the world of cannabis that might be helpful?
I donāt really enjoy edibles much, they give me terrible anxiety and I clench/grind my teeth (and break them). Plus they are just too expensive and hard for me to access in the state I live in.
I donāt want to be strung out on pills for the rest of my life, but I donāt want to be in constant pain, either. The pain management clinic I was referred to does not allow cannabis use.

My wife also lives with consistent pain, she actually been diagnosed with Chronic pain syndrome & Endometriosis.
Iāve been relentlessly searching for a ācure allā pain relief for her via Cannabisā¦
The things Iāve discovered so far;
Sheās a Redhead = Stupid high tolerance 
Edibles do work, only after 2800mg doses.
Out of Litterly 300+ strains Iāve got her to try out, the ONLY consistent thing is this, Nomatter what strain, Regardless of THC, CBD, CBN ect ect, It all boils down to how that specific strain reacts to her body, mood & pain level at that momentā¦
Sheās had the same strain every day for 2 weeks, some days sheās blasted high & no pain, other days sheās struggles cause nothing Is working even a little.
She builds tolerance to any strain FAST, like 2 days of usage kinda fastā¦
Best method Iāve found so far is;
Find strains that you like the effects from, KEEP a few Indica & Sativa & Hybrids in rotationā¦
Hopefully you wonāt build tolerance too quick and changing it up every time will help. Consume different strains through the day/night donāt stick with just 1, Iād recommend keeping at least 3 minimum in rotation. 6 would be best probably.
Either way, the entire point is DONT give up, Dont allow yourself to get frustrated. Remove the usage of the pills SLOWLY & (Iām not a doctor) so do this carefully if at all possible.
My wife STILL takes pills regularly, However she has cut down the amount needed by half atleast over the course of 24 months.
Keep faith & keep looking forward

Ive got hardware in my Lumbar and a lot of stenosis and impingement in a lot of places. History of multiple fractures, DDD, bulging, slipped, and herniated discs.
So I can relate and share what Ive figured out.
Strengthening the core, to include the abdomen and spine, takes stress off ligaments and discs, which is where much of the chronic pain originates.
A chiropractor at a festival saved my life - I could barely roll out of bed, just sitting up hurt bad. I recommend getting really high and maybe even a muscle relaxer before the appointment. (I was on Lucy, cat tranquilizer, and more when I had my adjustment). Should only need one or two appointments - anyone wanting to do weekly adjustments is just taking your money.
Strengthening the core also stops and reverse the loridosis that the back pain will induce.
When I started treating myself with cannabis, my legs were spastic, they would also randomly give out so I fell down the stairs many times.
I found sativas to help with nerve tissue and thats why I started seeking THCV. I recommend Malawi, Thai, Paki NLD, jack the ripper, Golden Tiger, Chem 91.
Ive talked with a lot of neurologists and theres no stopping the nerve impulse(pain), we can only affect how our mind and brain receive those messages.
Opiates temporarily make us ok with the pain, but overall reduce our pain tolerance, so we need more and more.
Ive found meditation and psychedelics like lsd and mushrooms to be the best medicine. With those, ive been able to be more active and strengthen my body while making my mind less focused on the pain. Tripping also showed me how much diest affects my body pain as well.
As far as pain clinics, you just need to shop for the right doctor.
The best one I ever had was an old guy from Russia who was retired surgeon in Russian NAVY. He was happy I used cannabis because he knew it made me require less opiates since they are symbiotic.
When he did spinal injections at my facet joints , he would do an IV in my finger veins because he knew that would titrate the Fenty/Ketamine/Propophol injection. I ended up getting about 13 in a year and a half before I learned the steroids actually weaken the bone, so I recommend staying away from those.
TL:DR
Core strength, psychedelics, eat healthy, chiropractor, thcv sativas

Half my family is red headed, and I am very difficult to anesthetize. Iām trying various combinations of things to see what, if anything, will help. 800mg ibuprofen, 10mg baclofen, 600mg gabapentin, 5-325 hydrocodone (I only have a few of them) and it barely touches it. I donāt like pills, and would rather take as little as possible because I already have liver and kidney problems. I ate a LOT of Tylenol and Motrin over the years.
The worst of the pain was about a week ago, when I seriously debated whether or not to call the ambulance. I didnāt, because the ER wonāt treat chronic pain- they will just refer me back to my doctor. Plus, I am not actually dying, thereās nothing they can do, and it would be a waste of resources and time. Theyāre overwhelmed with sick people, and I also donāt need to be exposed to anything.
This is why I want to stick with cannabis. Iām tired of hurting and I know if I can find the right strain it will help me. No more doctors, no more pills, no more pain.

Iām considering growing some shrooms. Iāve only had one experience, though, and it was bad. I already have a fruiting chamber and have grown my own oyster mushrooms, so Iām guessing p cubensis will be fairly easy to do.
You are entirely correct about strengthening your core. Iāve basically laid inert in a chair for the last 5 years, maybe more, and my muscles have atrophied. Itās frustrating because I used to be pretty athletic and active- but my body just decided to go haywire.
Iām convinced that cannabis is the best medicine for this. Shrooms, maybe; I think if I take only a tiny amount and gradually work up, it would help.
Pills are horrible and I donāt want to spend the rest of my life dependent on them. Iāve lost too many friends over the years to addiction, and I donāt want to join them.

I donāt think I ever tried sour bubble, just Bogglegum. Big fat leaves and sweet bubblegum flavor- frosty, too. He definitely had a winner with that one.

I 100% feel for you, Iām witness to this same thing with my wife. Itās incredibly difficult to explain & watch, I canāt imagine experiencing it first hand.
Just know that you are strong, your not alone, people do care, people do love you & your fight is not in vainā¦
You will discover what works specifically for you and it will help win the fight.
If I ever have anything you think that could help you, let me know and itās yours, no joke!

That ginger gene is a double edged sword.
Novacaine barely works on me. I can do a Lot of Dilaudid. Yeah.
But um, Gabapentin and Lyrica are real bad. They are a chemical lobotomy and the V.A. uses them as a soft-kill on veterans.
They work by delaying the process between impulse and receptor. Whereas LSD speeds up the response so you are actually living in the moment, Gapapentin and Lyrica retard that response so you dont even live in the moment - you live in the past. Very dark stuff.
And yeah, i recommend microdosing mushrooms for a couple weeks, then supplement a large dose every week or two.
So, 0.1 - 0.2 per day. In fact, the first week, you can take 0.2 and divide that into 5 pieces for those first 5 days, then work up to 0.1.
It gets wonky going straight into a large dose without prepping by microdosing for a while.
Its also best to fast 8hrs for a big one. Then eat if it gets too wonky during the trip.

I need a cyborg body! 
This has been a pretty rough journey, and itās taking its toll. Iām pretty isolated and I am not very close with family. Hard to keep friends when you canāt do anything, either.
One of my biggest fears is that I will eventually be unable to live on my own. If things keep deteriorating, Iām going to be in real trouble.
