Title: marijuana use pre/post-op
Post by: tpeck2016 on October 26, 2016, 09:54:57 am

I have heard different opinions on this topic. Has anyone used marijuana post op as an alternate to certain medications? I know most doctors are hesitant because there hasn't been enough studies and research done.

Marijuana user here. Also to expand on this thread I do take the following items:

- Kombucha (2-3 drinks per day)
- Fish oil (2 pills per day)
- Probiotic pills
- BCCA (3 pills per day)
- SAM-E (400 mg per day)
- Folic Acid
- Tinnitus reducer (has tons of herbs mixed in)
- Iron

I'm pretty much on anything and everything I can think of. I've seen another thread about being holistic but it would be a good thread to start discussing various treatments or home remedies that people use on this forum.

There is another recent post from someone trying different stains. I tried CBD oil (drops) in hopes to curb the headaches. It really did nothing for me, but that's just me. I think it's worth exploring anything natural. I'm probably going to try CBD topical ointment to easy some of the neck cramping I still battle with.
