Black Tuna
8/25/2019
I’m 47 years old. I stArted smoking cannabis after someone on a cell phone blew through a stop sign and T-boned me on my motorcycle. I was severely injured and required a very long surgery. I destroyed my lower back and pelvis. Had to learn how to walk again after several months in hospital and in a wheelchair. I am in chronic severe pain and have taken every kind of pain drug out there. My pain doctor mentioned Cannabis as an alternative issued me a document and off I went, mostly blind into Cannabis culture.
I managed to find a reputable dispensary without too much difficulty and developed a strategy based on sound adivce...try as many as you can and focus on Indicas and Hybrids. I was prescribed up to 2 grams a day.
The first Cannabis I tried was Blue Dream becuase I was told it was the most popular. My main needs are to manage pain, as a sleep aid; and to use for anxiety and help deal with the PTSD I developed after the accident.
As a hybrid BD was OK made me giggle a lot and provided a general sense of well being. Needless to say I have gone tried a ton of strains mostly Indicas and have to say BLACK TUNA IS AMAZING!!!. No single strain I have tried works as well as BT at fully handling my symptoms. I was reluctant to try because of the name and possible flavour. Thanks to Leafly I was convinced I was not going to get sushi flavoured weed. The taste and smell are amazing floral, spicey, hints of berry and citrus and some flavours I can’t even describe but delicious regardless.It had a funky OG and Kush thing going that just works. It is a creeper but when it hits you are not couch locked you are body slammed into the couch.
My pain was suddenly gone for the most part. My anxiety gone, I was super happy and chatty and just felt totally chiiillllaxxxed. I ate probably around 3-5 lbs of food judging on my weight the next day. Pretty much left a trail of destruction between our kitchen and bedroom, which my dogs were happy to clean up. I got so messed up and weird I decided to try all those roadside DWI/DUI tests administered well the ones I tried I failed 100% I was dizzy and could barely stand on 2 feet let alone trying to balance on one..lol....the touching your nose and counting backward thing were also brutal. While super drowsy I was not knocked out I was really drowsy and managed to watch the Office for an hour or so and then fell into a heavy beautiful sleep for a solid 6 hours which I have not had in a very long time.
This is a beautiful strain, my current favorite and is going to give me a more normal life and hopefully get me some if not all the gArbage I’m on. I cannot more highly recommend this strain if you are in pain, depressed/anxious and suffer from insomnia. Due respect to all the other Indicas that have helped me BUT BT at least for me is the belle of the ball...the fact it’s prime BC makes me more happy as a proud Canuck. If you come across this don’t let the name scare you...ITS AMAZING😬
