Cannabis for Pain

 I have displaced bones in my right foot, the cause is a somewhat long and in a sick way funny story for another time but bottom line cannabis helps control the pain to the point I can go on moderate hikes. I haven't explored using CBD, mostly because my plants have been picked for high THC content and the high along with the pain relief is nice. My question has two parts, does CBD work for joint pain better than just high THC cannabis and if it does what strain would be good to grow for maximize pain relief? I guess there is a third question, if CBD is better for pain than THC what mg dose is needed for a 200 lb. old fart.

I have some high production, extreme high THC seed for the coming grow but would maybe make room for a couple of high CBD plants if it is better for joint pain.

Thanks,

Juneteenth

 What can I say other than Juneteenth should be as important as the 4th.

Have a beer, something grilled, some red tea, and be thankful the North won the battle, the war is still being fought.

Oregon and Cannabis

 Oregon tightly controls the sale of liquor, most small towns may have only one, if any, State run liquor outlets with state control of prices but will have a recreational/medical Cannabis store on almost every corner. I also understand legal Cannabis is very cheap here, my guess because of the competition and number of outlets.

I have not visited any of the weed stores here, mostly because my home grown is as good as any you can buy and I have all I can use and even enough to cover my failed eatable experiments from this year's grow. There is a store just south of Brookings almost on the California state line that claims to have the best prices in Oregon that I will try to visit before we leave the area. It could be because of the store's location those "best prices" referred to are compared to California legal Cannabis.

I did visit a local "grow shop", damn impressive, especially compared to the one we have in Tucson. In fairness to the Tucson store, it is oriented to the commercial grower where the Brookings store customers are mostly small scale growers.

It would be nice to have similar store in Tucson but I expect I would still buy the small things like "grow bags" from Amazon and only some of the big things from the commercial grower store as I do now. Which of course explains why our economy is so fucked up.

Off For The Summer

 We have left Tucson for Summer on the Oregon coast. Not being home means not a lot of growing to post about, that doesn't mean the blog will be dead but most of the posts will deal with making eatables and such.

We are in "June Gloom", fog, overcast and very cool temps.  Perfect for the Summer.
