Case Report of a man in a situation very similar to Bjorn - and mention of the Green Cross Society too! Haha! Brilliant! Daily cannabis use totaling 10 g of natural product cannabis, translating to an average of 420-500 mg of THC, 40-80 mg of CBD and 20-60 mg CBN, was required to achieve a sufficient degree of pain management. Significant reductions in daily pain scores as well as improved sleep, muscle spasm and general quality of life were achieved. Although, by no means pain free, the patient is now able to do some part time volunteer work, go to the gym, and lead what resembles a normal life. He consumes 10-15 g of cannabis per day. He also finds benefit in a number of supplements: for chronic pain and depression, including, GABA (500 mg), L- Tyrosine (500 mg), L-Tryptophan (550 mg), DL- Phenylalanine (500 mg) and S-adenosyl methionine (liquid) 40 drops a day. For the breakthrough pain he used cannabis tincture at 10 mg THC/drop; 2 mg CBD/drop: 15-25 drops (as needed), which relieved intense pain, in a couple of seconds. He also used Volcano (vaporizer), 2-4 g a day. Recent medical examination showed all liver functions to be normal, including clearance of the hypercholesterolemia. Conclusions The case reported here represents one of many observed at the Green Cross Society. With 70% of the members treating chronic pain the same phenomenon is observed over and over that people achieve a significant degree of pain management using standardized natural product cannabis. Often a better quality of life is attained with cannabis use only, or in conjunction with reduced opiate consumption. The subject in this study is nearly one year using only natural product cannabis plus supplements for his severe pain. He recently went through yet another two surgeries to back and hand using only cannabis for post-operative pain. The roughly 4000 members of the Green Cross Society find similar benefit from standardized natural product cannabis medicine. To follow, will be publication of the Societys demographic data regarding use for various conditions such as arthritis, fybromyalgia, HIV/AIDS, and chronic pain, to name a few. A breakdown of the illnesses, what strains (cannabinoid profiles) is most effective, and at what dosages will be published at a later time. ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2740265/
