Been having health issues for a while now.

Just got the news yesterday from my last test.

I officially got ****ing cancer in my gut.



Edit:
Sorry all,

Had a couple of days that weren't the best.

It was a swift reminder that I still have things to take care of.

My wife still needs to learn passwords, bills, etc. That got me thinking about what my "footprint" will look like when I'm gone.

I'm actually an intensely private person and I thought I've shared a tad much on here. At the same time I've got to talk to a lot of great people here and it does lift my spirits some when I see the positive posts from everyone.

Got rid of most of the pics etc.....the more I thought about it the more I felt selfish. CP has been my go to for 10+ years now and it didn't feel right to throw the C word out there and then just ignore it like it didn't happen.

Thanks,
HayWire

Interesting. I know it's supposed to be voted on next month to legalize it in Missouri. I haven't really read up on it much.

Delta-8. Avoid it. Just get 'real' cannabis that is Delta-9. Delta 8 does not exist in high quantities naturally and is synthesized from CBD. Heptane and other solvents you do not want to consume are often used.

Damn, this shit is more complicated than I thought.

I'm not sure what I've been taking. The wife just brings it home to me.

Most likely D9. If you go to a dispensary or your local plug it will be D9.

Even with it going rec most likely in a couple of months I would recommend getting your med card.

Prices/tax in most other states that have both are usually cheaper for those with the med card and I would assume it to be the same in MO.

I'll probably end up getting my card. I just recently started trying it to see if it helps before forking up the money to get it.

QFT

I don't know what it's like in other states but in Illinois medical prices are almost HALF of recreational.

Get your card.

If you have questions, make sure to ask. There's a lot of knowledgable folks here, go figure. LOL

Well it's confusing to me and I've been a smoker for a long, long time. Back when I first started smoking, we didn't have all these strains and shit. You got a bag of brick weed and you liked it.

I just take whatever the wife puts in front of me.

It's an on going joke in my house that my wife could off me whenever she wanted. She gets all my meds together and I just take them without asking. I try not to piss her off so she don't slip something else in there.

What you want to look at when choosing a strain is the terpine contents. Don;t pay too much attention to the THC percentages as that has more to do with the psychoactive properties vs medicinal properties.For pain relief the number one terp to look for is Beta-Caryophyllene.

Just out of curiosity. Why is it cheaper with a med card?

Base price might be same but tax on rec is higher than the tax on med.

The idea is not to over price the people who need it as medicine vs those who just want to get ****ed up.

Thanks. That makes sense.

I just want for pain control and to have an appetite again. I'll just make an appointment and get it out of the way
