I got strung on Vicodin when I had my hips replaced in 2014. I had bought a Gorilla tent right before that went down and researched how to improve the harvest. THAT is what got me off that stuff. Grew some killer smoke and was a chimney for the next year.
Grew some original Flo, some 303 Bubba, and put that stuff behind me.
Over a decade ago, I had to be taken to the ER and found out I had two slipped discs in my spine. I started out with Hydrocodone but not only did it not last long enough I got downright pissed because one of the girls at the office didn't like me at all, and got me discharged from the Doctor's office....
I was told it was because I was "Doctor shopping", and I managed to get a "final appointment" where the actual doctor would talk to me. I discovered why I'd been discharged; a year before I'd ever seen that Doctor I had dental surgery and was given Hydrocodone for it, and before that an ER visit had also given me some, but they gave the doctor the list without any dates on it.
I couldn't help myself; I was pissed and started running this mouth of mine, and walked out of there with Hydromorphone instead (Dilauded) which is a LOT stronger. Eventually I was on 16 MGs of Dilauded a day with 2 or 3 of the 10 MG Oxycodone pills a day for breakthrough pain.
I doubt I need to point out just how big of a dose that actually is. I was drug tested of course, they wanted to be damn sure I was actually taking them, and sadly I fell into liking those drugs more than pretty much anything else.
Now, I had smoked weed before but didn't do it very often and couldn't afford it, and never gotten much relief from it anyway so I never considered it much use.
One day a junky buddy of mine had me pick him up and we were "going to score" because we were sick, and on the way he's like "we need to make a stop, a buddy grew some Blue Cheese and it's my favorite" so we stopped and grabbed some, and for the first time ever, I thought "maybe I don't need hard drugs every day".....
Legit was the first time I'd had that kind of relief from weed, and Blue Cheese is still my favorite strain ever.
All the Cheese strains I've tried to date have instantly been added to my favorites of all time list, literally all of them.
Then I got to try Chemdog, and another entire family of strains entered my weed hall of fame; I've tried a bunch of Chemdog crosses and much like Cheese, they seem to do something to me physically that helps in a way that some others simply don't.
I mean you guys see me pretty often on here, and have probably heard me go on and on about Blue Cheese and Chemdog and how I'll take interest in a strain simply because Cheese, Chem, or Dog, are in its name, and now you know why lol.
I imagine I'd love Blueberry too but I've never had a chance to try it. I now grow my own weed, and whenever I hear anything about Cheese or Chem, I listen, cause so far, I haven't been to a doctor for pain pills or done hard drugs in years now.
I don't particularly love talking about this, and feel ashamed, but at the same time, it might help someone else.
