Hey Canna,
Thanks for chiming in.
No, I am still on my psych meds, and I take them regularly. While I take them like my life depends on them, because I feel it does (based on where I've been and where I've come to), I do want to get off them entirely in time. But that will be a process. And, that process has already begun. It's possible I developed IBS in response to my getting off my anti-depressant, Zolof. I've read that can be cause and effect. Who knows. But, Yes, thank you, I'm being smart about that. Terrible to hear about your ear, but again you're passing along something that I will surely remember. Thanks. All of the med talk to say that these things are why I'm transferring to all natural healing. I'm just DONE with all the possible negative outcomes. Cannabis has so few side effects compared to pharmas that it would be RIDICULOUS of me not to follow through on this.
As with the anxiety, I literally have a long, long list of coping mechanisms, but I was today so riddled that my body was rigid and I had trouble doing simple things like motor skills. Reading, I did not think of, but I love. Curious. I will try that tomorrow if still the same. I do imagine it would be tough though, given an active mind. And yes, I meditated for an hour through nonstop nausea, but I did settle the internal dialogue. The stress was already in my bones by then. I will also see about the hot pad. That sounds real nice. I ended up trying to lay down and sleep a lot, but alternated everything on my list... walking, eating, everything... I was really low on power to fight it. At the moment, I've been sleeping for the last few hours on and off and I'm supposed to be connecting in the next hour. So I'm at least on an optimistic note. The sleep helped the nausea too.
An hour later... I connected. literally my breathing, body rigidity, tight jaw, headache, nausea, etc. ... all gone. too much stress. it's gonna kill me. i love flower, but i don't like this lack of power. such an outrage.
Thanks for chiming in.

) and it has totally wrecked much of my adult life. Anxiety and stress have played the largest role. So, my point is, what you said clarified what I was thinking about last night: I realize that the hell I'm going through these last few days has largely been not having sufficient access to a medicine that I am depending on for my health. I realized that if I missed doses, or had inadequate doses of my mood stabilizer, or my anti-psychotic, that I would have significant symptoms and side effects of a quick withdrawal, plus just plain not having a sufficient dose hurts as much as well. Same with cannabis. Bottomline, it has been a process for me, in my own mind, to truly embrace and accept cannabis as my first and most valid choice of MEDICINE. I realize that sometimes I am feeling guilt and shame related to my use of it, so even me... even me, with all of my support for the medicinal use and movement, I am still suffering the stigma that is and has been in place about this sacred plant. It's just really stunning to me... but it only reinforces the absolute benefits that I can personally attest to in my conscious, responsible, informed, medicinal use of the plant. Cannabis is on the front lines. Thanks, brother. 
Excellent informative post Motoco!

Is it against site policies to disclose where and how you got that? I might need that for future reference, but was planning on having to pay at least twice that.
