Using medical marijuana

It's been a year and a half now, since I have begun replacing pain meds with medical marijuana. All legal, with a license, blah, blah. It's taken the better part of that year to figure out how to grow, process, use, administer, control strength and dosage, etc., for my new medicine. As I was trying a new  marijuana recipe today, I thought perhaps I should share some of my recipes, experiences, successes, and failures, to help others trying to navigate the switch from fast-acting, precisely formulated pharma to self-grown nature's bounty with all the uncertainty that entails.

Here where I live, in Hawai'i, I received a license to use medical marijuana, like a prescription, from my doctor. All legal. But I couldn't buy pot or seeds or plants, because to buy or sell it is illegal (at the moment). But I can have up to 3 oz. If I can somehow get it. And I can grow up to 7 plants. If I can somehow acquire and start them. After somehow acquiring the raw material, I can smoke it, extract it, infuse it, eat it, anything except use butane to make hash with it. Any other hash reduction is ok.

But, if 64 with constant pain from arthritis and severe restless leg syndrome, I want to be able to move without as much pain, to be able to do things and be active. I don't want to sit in a laz-Z-boy and smoke just to be pain free. Therefore, I've learned many recipes so that I can reduce my plants to edibles, and experimented to achieve moderate doses. I plan to share some on this blog, so, as Rachell says, watch this space! Groan.
