Mary’s Transdermal Compound

Weed Lotion

To get into this review I have to catch you up on my pain.  I get a shot in my amygdala once every 90 days for pain and PTSD relief.  My doctor shoots lidocaine into the Stellage Ganglion nerve cluster in my brain.  This resets the sympathetic nervous system.  The physical relief is that the nerves that run down the right side of my body that has been stuck in the “ON” position turn off for a moment and don't hurt anymore.  I still creak and crack like an old man but I don’t hurt.  The mental relief is that I am completely calm for a month or sol; I have bad dreams that go away and I am much more patient with the people in my life.  It’s really a win-win.  

The unfortunate part is that as it wears off I tend to feel everything turning back on.  That’s why I smoke so much.  That’s why I ate 400mg of Gron Mega Pearls the other day when they were on sale.   (I got about six hours' worth of FUN! before it was bedtime)  I get my next shot this coming Thursday.  It’s going to feel like the weight of the world is taken off my shoulders.  

Since it’s been getting close I’ve been grinding my teeth so much.  I can be sleeping, driving, or just sitting here smoking and I notice that I’m wearing away my chompers.  My jaw starts to hurt so bad.  

I’ve never used a topical before.  I figured I was the kinda stoner that had no use for them.  “Will it get me effed-up?”  Nope, probably not.  

But there was a sample of Mary’s Transdermal Compound in my sample box yesterday so I thought, “Where do I hurt the most?”  The answer was feet and face.  

I put some on my feet.  I sat for like 20 minutes and my dogs were still barking.

I put some on the right side of my jaw; behind my ear, the knave of my jaw, under my chin in the meaty part, along the side of my chin up against the bone, down my neck onto my shoulder and down to the behind the blade spot that has a giant knot in it.  

I’m impressed.  My jaw hasn’t stopped popping but the muscles calmed down after about 20 minutes.  I stopped grinding.  It’s like my jaw muscles weren't as tight.  There was room for them to relax.  

I liked it enough to call my dad, a medical patient in Arkansas’ system who has TMJ, (Temporomandibular Joint Disorder) (not too much jaw disorder, I really thought that's what it meant for a while) and recommended he go find something similar in his market.  

Now I gotta get enough of this stuff to cover my entire body once a week or so.  Great.  I’m going to be slippery.  

I can feel the cannabis taking effect.  My brain has downshifted a gear.  The tunnel vision has widened.  I’m not looking through the scope of my rifle.  I’ve taken my cheek off the butt stock.  I’m looking over the entire battlefield.  I can breathe during the lull in the fire.
