mary jane equals pain?

Basically whenever I smoke herb.. once a day or once every two days.. the pains that I have in my body seem to be way more obvious and hurt a lot more. This has happened for years, and it's never stopped me from smoking, as it's not unbearable or anything and I still get the other fantastic effects from the green, but this seems abnormal. I have problems in my neck and back and see a therapist regularly, but it seems that when I get stoned I get a lot stiffer and more sore. Does this happen to anyone else? What's going on!

 

mj can increase awareness and intensify feelings that you are already having, including that of physical pain. You may try altering your attention away from it or searching the feeling deeper to find a way to cure it or aleast manage the pain better.

 

This was exactly what i was going to say. This has also happened to me, making me more "aware" of what is going on with my body, especially when I fucked up my ankle.

 

try distracting yourself

 

if i have any soreness, it seems too be magnified, but not that much

 

then why th hell some ppl say Mj's a pain killer

 

I think it depends on the effects of the dope the person is smoking, some dope intensifys you, some dulls you, some makes you awake , some makes you tired, so makes you active, some makes you lazy etc; I bet theres a strain somewhere with pain numbing effects. Maybe try asking for a medicinal slip or something? I dunno I would also agree with stoner bill, distracting yourself.

 

While mj isn't a painkiller in the pharmachemical sense (thc is not chemically similar to classical endorphins or opioids pain killers), but usually, if enough is smoked, a person can get passed (or above) those feelings of pain or at least ease the assoicated stress caused by the pain.

 

usually when I have an ache it gets better by toking.. fuckin wierdo.. haha nah yea its just that its making you more aware of your pain. Maybe weed is telling you to fix your physical problems

 

Yup.

And yup.

I like your posts.

 

I've noticed that when I get stoned, the aches and pains of age are releived a bit

BUT:

1) The agravating effect of cold is greater when I am high than straight.

2) The day after smoking, I am stiffer and ache more than days after not smoking.

 

me too, mike


i'd say the reason is a greater sensitivty to pain whilst stoned.
my advice is to smoke less, or perhaps better, as someone said already, to go into the pain deeper. when you are totally awware of anything, be it something good or bad, ...you are free from it, no longer chained by it.

I do not think distracting yourself from the pain will solve your problem.

 

i dunno man. pain is often caused by awareness. you wont feel pain of a lot of injuries until you look at them or adress them. marijuana helps aleviate pain because the pain doesnt keep drawing your attention and awareness, you can forget about it.

 

Get different kind of weed. Get some indica, which is like a body high (and lots of people use it to go to sleep to), so that should thereotically relax the pain.
