re: Medical marijuana question about Dysphagia

I have dysphagia, but not anywhere near the extent of what your uncle is going through. I also had 5 level ACDF. So my condition is understandable. No sure why hip surgery would cause that condition in your uncle's case. My surgeon sent me to the Speech Therapist at the Lake. Your uncle has a dangerous condition that could cause him to suffocate. Needs to be treated.

Apparently there's been research

This year, Klein is beginning a new study at Israel's Reuth Medical Center with Drs. Jean-Jacques Vatine and Aviah Gvion, in which he hopes to establish a connection between medical cannabis and improved swallowing. One of the biggest concerns with chronically ill patients is food intake, says Klein. Dysphagia, or difficulty in swallowing, can lead to a decline in nutrition and even death. He believes that cannabis, which has been found to stimulate regions of the brain associated with swallowing reflexes, will have a positive impact.

Reading that, it makes me think pure CBD might not be the the cannabinoid he needs. Thc might be more important. But I guess Tel Aviv university is doing a lot of research on it.

Technically, if you can't find regular herb from a friend (or if you have kids in their late teens or twenties, from them), there are ways.

Craigslist Denver has a lot of things for sale, that claim they'll ship it. Obviously, I can't recommend it, but it's there. They may rip you off, they may hook you up. I guess it depends on the ad, and if they want repeat business. I've never tried buying it from there, because I'm medical, and get it cheaper from dispensaries (and help support the schools)n

If you can ,, you'd want a CBD strain, like dance world, harlequin, or ambulance. Here's a list of strains. Scroll to the CBD area. It's far from complete, but it's something.

I'd say grow some. But Louisiana has a mandatory minimum for growing. Once they remove that, getting caught with a couple plants wouldn't be a big deal. Especially if it were a retired man growing medicine. But with two plants, only way you're getting caught is if someone snitched.
