I have to wait till gone 2330 as I no longer like going out stoned and always have to walk my dogs for an hour at 2200. Life is much better spending it soba and not stoned.

But tonight I'll be vaping some Purple Chedder.

Don't get me wrong, I had Atlas Pollen for brekkie:biggrin:
But I only wake and bake at the weekend nowadays. The self control is more aimed at eeking out the Caramello, because it's bloody expensive on the undernet.

I love the Caramello because it is just like the black I used to get as a teenager, except 4 times the price.

im the same really these days. Used to smoke ridiculous amounts, ten grams or more most days, but now 2 max I reckon and rarely before 8 pm.
Walk the dogs a couple hours a day, dont drink no more either and meditate most days and really ought to every day.

I still revert to my old days though if Im on holiday staying with friends and have zero responsibilities, fun now and again.

But a nightcap really most days for me now and tonight it is OGKush from a friend, no elite cut or anything, think he got some fem seeds from somewhere

anyway its making me a bit rambly lol

Yes a few years ago I never thought I would stop smoking constant spliffs and about 14 grams a day. Now it's literally 0.5g a night before bed. 4 bags on the volcano and I'm drifting off to sleep.

But this is what comes from no longer being able to smoke spliffs due to the pain it causes. It triggers my Trigeminal Neuralgia. Not smoked in over 14 months now.

just looked that up, sounds nasty. so is it the physical act of drawing on a joint that puts pressure on the nerve and causes pain?

Yep, got it in one. Same with drinking from a straw. After a few months of constant pain I truly understood why its knick named suicides disease.

Totally made me restructure what I thought pain was. At its worst its like all the teeth on my left side are filling with some liquid and are about to explode or like someone has pliers on my teeth and is squeezing them. Then it feels like someone has stuck a hot soldering iron down my left ear canal. And just as I feel I have reached a whole new level of pain it then feels like someone has attached a tazor to that soldering iron and is putting 50000 volts down into my ear.

All this pain despite being on Fentanyl patches and pregabalin.

So much pain I don't think I'll ever try and smoke again. Too scared. A lot better these days thank god. But still set off by shaving and wind blowing across my face but only lasts for a few minutes at most.

I just thank god for my family and my dogs. As without them I really don't think I would have made it to be alive today.

I didn't know what it was at the time but I had something like that after getting my Tonsils out when I was a kid(totally separate issue to the sore throat). I couldn't eat or drink because every time I tried to suck, slurp, chew or swallow, it felt like a million red hot needles jabbing my face mostly around the jaw joint/ear area, except it felt like the needles were inside poking out, if you get me.... I feel for you mate, what I experienced was a temporary thing and that was more than I ever wish to experience.

fucking hell, what causes it? in the first place I mean? is it like an RSI?

Well many things are a contributing factor. I have Myotonic Dystrophy which causes muscles to cramp and waste away. Due to this I have very little jaw muscles left and as a consequence have Temporo Mandibular Joint Disorder or TMJD for short. So thing means something is pressing on the Trigeminal nerve. Best I can do is avoid aggregating it.

Sometimes when it's really hurting I really want to reach for a drink of alcohol to help with the pain killers, but I can't do that either as just a half teaspoon of alcohol send my stomach into a couple of weeks of severe cramping. Ah, life is fun at times.

Yes, sounds like they irritated your Trigeminal nerve during surgery. It's bloody nasty. And the more it gets irritated the more it will hurt.

I have been offered surgery but this comes with only a very low success rate and actually has a higher chance of leaving the left side of my face paralysed. So I'm just doing my best at avoiding irritating the nerve. And if that means giving up my beloved weed in the form of a spliff then so be it.

Luckily the volcano works well. Not the same kind of stone as thru a spliff but equally potent just different.
