ACDC

Sorry, I ran a little long on my review...
I have MS. Over the 18+ years I've been ill I have tried MJ several times. Back in my teens - early 20s I was a constant MJ smoker. Then I entered a career that was not conducive to drug use and stopped.
However, My illness led to eventual disability. Eventually It was suggested that I try MJ and I thought "heck yeah!" Unfortunately though, every time I tried it I wound up paranoid, anxious and my muscles twitched for hours. I'm in Cali but all my experimenting was before we had legal medical MJ.
Since then medical use of MJ has improved dramatically. With the ability to study the effects of each strain, cross breed and treat a wide variety of symptoms I decided to try again, this time using Leafly as a guide as well as friends recommendations I settled on ACDC. I was looking for something relaxing but not sedative, that would help with pain and stiffness but would not mess with my ability to think or induce paranoia or anxiety.
Bang! I hit gold. ACDC filled all my criteria. My first hit was long and deep, yet didn't set me coughing. I waited about 10 minutes and could feel my pain level drop a notch. I had a vague sense of being medicated in my head but only just a bit. I followed up with two more good deep hits.
That gave me what I was looking for. My pain dropped to 4, I could reach my socks which is typically impossible, plus I was in a good mood, awake, alert, but no jitters, no anxiety, no paranoia. I was able to talk to others who didn't know I had smoked and they didn't notice anything other than I was more cheerful and seemed to move with less jerking.
I am still going to try other strains - I need something for midnight cramps and there are so many strains geared toward MS who knows what I'll find but for now I'm pleased I found something that works for me...
So that's my opinion on ACDC. For me its good to ease pain, loosen up the muscles, and enjoy a gentle buzz that is there but leaves me able to function normally while nicely alert.
