So a while back Cana­da legal­ized cannabis prod­ucts. I was encour­aged to try CBD oil and even some THC oil to help deal with some back pain that I expe­ri­ence on par­tic­u­lar­ly stress­ful days. I start­ed with just CBD stuff I did­n’t notice much, if any, effect. Maybe I was a lit­tle more relaxed but it was­n’t enough for me to jus­ti­fy using it. For anoth­er year or so I did­n’t both­er using it any­more, that is until a shop opened up a block or so away, this was about three years ago. Going in it was a small place but they were quick to rec­om­mend and pro­vide an oil that was a mix of CBD and THC, I was hurt­ing so I fig­ured I may as well give it anoth­er shot. Well… I was­n’t quite sure what I expect­ed but I was not aware how long it took an oil to work. Lets just say I did­n’t real­ly enjoy that expe­ri­ence but it sure as hell made me for­get about any back pain… I did­n’t touch the stuff for a cou­ple of months after that but after a lot of oth­er stress­es and hav­ing a lot of oil left over I gave it anoth­er shot. This time I had much bet­ter results. I admit I was­n’t expect­ing that much from it at the time but I cer­tain­ly helped me to relax and great­ly reduced the pain I was feel­ing in my back, the prob­lem was that it would take a cou­ple of hours at least for the effects of the oil to kick in. I went back to that store and let them know the oil was work­ing great for me but asked what I could do for some­thing faster act­ing… That’s when they intro­duced me to my first vape.

I nev­er expect­ed to enjoy it as much as I did. It def­i­nite­ly helped with my back and mel­lowed me out quite a bit as well. Had some­one told me a year before that I’d be vap­ing I would have nev­er believed it but damn how well it actu­al­ly works. Over the past few years I’ve expand­ed my knowl­edge and got a bet­ter vape unit. I still have my old starter set and hon­est­ly it was a great until for learn­ing to vape with. Now a days I’ve picked up a unit that let the user tweak the volt­age hence the tem­pra­ture and let me get the exact effects I want. I’ve been try­ing out some high­er THC con­cen­tra­tions and its def­i­nite­ly been inter­est­ing. I do have some sto­ries about some stu­pid things I’ve done, noth­ing dan­ger­ous, while under the influ­ence. I know well enough that when I do use I won’t dri­ve, or even leave home. I’ll be sure to share them here at some point. 

Cannabis has def­i­nite­ly been a help when cop­ing with pain and reduc­ing my stress lev­els and I’m glad I gave it anoth­er shot. I may talk about some of the par­tic­u­lar vape car­tridges I’ve tried as well as the spe­cif­ic vape units as well.
