Hey All,

For those who have are using cannabis to treat a symptom (anxiety, pain, insomnia, etc.)

- does the effects last?
- When you stop using, do your symptoms come back?
- If they do, do they come back just as severe as when you were not using?

I have always wondered about this and wanted to hear some first hand insights on this matter.

I use it to deal with Neuropathic pain from acdf surgery. I have to use large amounts of thc to be comfortable but have been off narcotics for over a year.
I smoke every day- dab pen / joints
I can go without for about 4 days until the pain is a 7/8 and takes about 2 days to start returning to normal and 7 days to get to 3/4 pain wise. So I just don't stop for any period of time now.

My son and I use CBD cannabis for asthma. Raw herb in caps with some oil, 2 a day with no other meds gets us to a normal state with no issues at all. It does take a day or two to wear off but we take it daily . Like most herbs and pharma it is not a cure but acts in a supportive manner.

I use meditation to control my pain and Cannabis helps as well.Controlling pain naturally is better for our metabolism ,as many drugs disrupt it.I don't need freezing going to the dentist and can control any amount of pain.

This is very insightful. Do you feel "high" when you are using cannabis for your symptoms? Or do you get to a point where you get the desired effects without the "high"?

I have not had a strain yet where I get the effects without the "high".

I have been experiencing anxiety attacks... Since I used CBD, which is really effective, by the way, at least for me, things got better then. I had to include bits of exercise and meditation of course. Really helped!
