  2. Savannah Warren on July 29, 2019 at 7:32 pm

    i have this as well and weed is the only thing that makes it feel okay and i cant even get that relief.



  3. Hood Spartan on July 29, 2019 at 7:35 pm

    don’t get some brick weed bc it will give you a worse headache



  4. Peter Myers on July 29, 2019 at 7:35 pm

    If people would quit virtue signaling about not wanting to “get high” and quit wasting time, they could just smoke some herbs and feel better right away.



  5. Cold_ Sugar on July 29, 2019 at 7:36 pm

    Not gonna lie…weed makes me feel pain more intense than usually….but really helps with my sleep…sucks it illegal



  6. Jack Sadaka on July 29, 2019 at 7:37 pm

    This girl is fuckin amazing for fighting through her pain like a beast… I feel so bad for her. I wanna take care of her for the rest of my life…



  7. Seth Stockman on July 29, 2019 at 7:37 pm

    I have fibromyalgia it’s kinda the same thing except I have pain all over my body and marijuana does help me



  8. Dylan Bartlett on July 29, 2019 at 7:40 pm

    I’m pretty sure I have this but I’m 15 how do i go about this



  9. Kris Michaels on July 29, 2019 at 7:40 pm

    Of course a buzzfeed person links weed being vilified to racism. You’re going to need s new boogeyman eventually.



  10. Kai Dwyer on July 29, 2019 at 7:40 pm

    Anyone here from jk news?



  11. survivor on July 29, 2019 at 7:43 pm

    Kelsey, yeah, TN — I feel you, sister. It’s just impossible to convey how bad this can be. And how sick and tired you get of feeling sick and tired. And of the endless, endless doctor appointments, only to be told there’s nothing more to try (except surgery! They are always pleased to recommend surgery! No, it’s not certain you’ll get relief; yes things could get worse. But hey – ya never know, right?)
    I’m really happy that you’ve found something that helps. May it keep on making life a bit easier for you!



  12. Leonardo Cabrera on July 29, 2019 at 7:44 pm

    you are looking great girl !!! ;D



  13. Trashasian on July 29, 2019 at 7:45 pm

    Imagine getting weed with little THC



  14. J Korn on July 29, 2019 at 7:46 pm

    Weed isn’t legal cause the pharmaceutical companies would go broke



  15. Haaris Mirza on July 29, 2019 at 7:47 pm

    What’s chronic pain



  16. Yo Mnky on July 29, 2019 at 7:47 pm

  20. Huntley illinois on July 29, 2019 at 7:55 pm

    Great Video!



  21. Kelsey Gauder on July 29, 2019 at 7:57 pm

    I’m really happy I stumbled across this. These symptoms are almost synonymous with my chronic pain condition, CRPS, which is also nicknamed the "suicide disease", and I’ve never smoked in my life but this kind of treatment was recommended to me before. I’ve considered it but I’m honestly afraid to try it and see if it’s successful. I don’t know if I want to become dependent on something like CBD for the rest of my life to feel pain relief when I have other methods of pain management, but let’s see. Thank you for sharing your experience! It must be a Kelsey thing 😉



  22. sisyphus9787 on July 29, 2019 at 7:58 pm

    I just got through an 11 day episode. The strains “Stardawg” and “L.A. Confidential, plus “Gorilla Grapes” concentrate helped.



  23. Hzap on July 29, 2019 at 7:58 pm

    try micro dosing psilocybin but dont forget to take a healthy dose of 2 – 5 grams once in awhile



  24. Chandrashekar Patil on July 29, 2019 at 7:59 pm

    Are we covered as a patient with a lifetime warranty that this CBDs won’t have a negative gross effect for a lifetime?



  39. Golden_ Knight on July 29, 2019 at 8:12 pm

  40. Chaos Sky on July 29, 2019 at 8:13 pm

    Combining cannabis and adderall is my favorite thing. Complete focus and expanded imagination.



  41. Kai Dwyer on July 29, 2019 at 8:13 pm

    Stoners unite



  47. Jamie m on July 29, 2019 at 8:21 pm

    I suffer from Crohn’s disease, osteoarthritis, degenerative disk, and chronic pain disorder, marijuana should definitely be legal everywhere with no restrictions on growing your own as its night and day the relief it gives people like us as it enables us to somewhat function instead of being debilitated by pain!



  48. Motto on July 29, 2019 at 8:25 pm

    How to make a video like this? Any advice welcome.



  49. Jordxn7 on July 29, 2019 at 8:27 pm
