THC vs. CBD

What are my fellow migraine friends views on THC vs. CBD? I have used medicinal marijuana in a tincture before (I can't smoke it...asthma) but it's always been a higher THC ratio and I get absolutely no pain relief, just high. I'm just curious if people think CBD is a better option... I guess because when you get a medical marijuana card you think marijuana = THC.
Thoughts?

  1. Use both. I use a ratio of almost 50:50 in a vape and it works perfectly to relieve the pain. If I get too high from that, I take 10mg of edible CBD gummies. Magically, I'm no longer high, but I still have pain relief. Mezz makes cartridges of this ratio. They call it Mellow.

    1. Aww....thanks kalikolarodo. Unfortunately, I can't vape and edibles aren't legal in Delaware.....so stupid and frustrating......

  2. Oh. Sorry. You can't vape. Try the 5mg CBD edible and take three for a total of 15mg. The ones I use have a little THC in them too but not enough to get you high. You may have to take 20 mg or more to get relief. I haven't gone higher than that because if it didn't work, I used the vape pen that is half CBD and that always worked.

    1. I would have to make the edibles myself, I tried once before with a marijuana tincture and I guess my ratio's were off, because they did not help! Maybe it will be easier since the CBD is already in a liquid form. I'll have to look for some recipes online.
      Thanks!

  3. Every day transformed chronic headaches 55years. Cbd hemp oil - found this did not work well. Cbd Cana oil with thc vaped - three hits took pain of 15 (scale 10) to a 0 with three inhalation’s. Was very high, which I did not like but worked like a charm. I am in process of looking for ones with little less thc. I figure it is another tool in the medicine cabinet.

    1. THC has higher terpene causes hallucinations unlike CBD has lower terpene and mostly used for medical purposes.
      Alternative medicine is more accepted nowadays due to its promising results unlike pharmaceutical medicine, alternative
      medicine doesn’t give a negative effect such as kidney and liver problems when it comes to long term use. As for my
      alternative medicine usage, I use medical marijuana. The different strain has a variety of uses and effect depending on
      your needs. You may check this http://blimburnseeds.com/news/marijuana/free-grizzly-purple-kush-cannbis-seeds-attitude-seeds-bank/. This strain has a very
      potent effect as alternative medicine and a lot more
