    I'm now 75 years old, I was a weed smoker in the 60s but gave it up mid 70s. Today I have already had 6 back surgeries starting in 1970 to last year. The Last surgery did not help, it created other problems. I also have COPD so can't smoke at all. I tried taking some very good bud and filled some 20 mg caps to ingest the weed. No, it doesn't get me high but it does help me with the old folks sleeping problems. I no longer wake up every couple hours and that get up to go pee at 3 or 4am no longer happens. I ran out or the bigger caps and gave the 10 mg caps a try. It still works, just not as well! I wake up pain free and can get around a lot better. I just started to grow my own again. SSI does not pay well enough to buy mother nature from a clinic! I never dreamed I would be growing weed again. I just wish the pain would go completely away. Maybe I'll grow my hair long again and start wearing a robe??😅

      🌹. I solved that problem… By taking or using different forms… No buds! No flower...But… Edibles, you can get many products that are edibles… That work extremely well… I do not smoke the buds because it burns my throat! Edibles are great takes a bit longer to kick in but… It also lasts longer...☺️😉🌿🕊️🙏🏽👍🏽🪴

    I use pot to sleep, I deal with chronic pain during the day with Tylenol and methocarbamol which does help some. I either mix some powdered buds into my sleepy time tea or take a few puffs then go to bed and sleep from approx. 9-5 am which is what I'm used to. I was getting maybe 2.5 to 3 hours of sleep per night and the doctors refused to help me with a sleep aid. People will find relief from misery one way or another.

      I am in a legal medical mj program in Connecticut. The dispensary pharmacist recommended Theraplants 360X Hybrid (THC dominant) syringe oil. I squeeze a “rice grain” dose into capsules they supply for arachnoiditis nerve damage post spinal fusion. They cut my spinal cord when opening me from the front of my abdomen. I have left drop foot and I ended up with “bee sting” sensation from nerve roots attached onto arachnoid membrane. The oil wiped out the stinging. Gabapentin only filled it and the side effects were awful.
      5 years now I use Theraplants 360X. It comes in THC, CBD, or a 1:1 combo. It’s the bullet for my weird nerve sensations.

    Both THC and CBD have same chemical formula but different arrangement of the structure --- so one of the causes of the difference in their properties.
    THC makes you high ...bcoz of its euphoric nature , I think it works on the receptors in the brain.
    CBD --- does not make u high .

      Low dose naltrexone is usually around 4.5mg dose. RX will start at 2.2mg then increase to 4.5. Only side effect is odd dreams at first, hence why you start out low dose. In US, a compound pharmacy can make low dose. I started using LDN for cov vax autoimmune phenomenon that caused major joint and muscle pain. I also take tablet 2.5thc/2.5cbd.

    I have full tear rotator cuffs both shoulders.
    I have now sought out pain relief for my shoulders that ache to the point I need something. My hip surgeon and shoulder Dr said to me marijuana ,I repeated it back to him in disbelief , he then said CBD oil.
    So I went into the first dispensing store and stated I wanted CBD oil and something that would be a pain reliever and not get me high. They recommended Fairwinds CBD oil Ratio tincture CBD 5:1THC the rep said that without the small amount of THC customers said it didn’t work. So I went with that. I found that it works well realize the pain is gone within a half hour , but may need something with a bit more relief. I think you have to try different ones.
    I’m looking into edibles mainly a THC product with CBD in some that I would treat very conservative personally. A friend said that his mom just takes a little bite of one for pain. They do take longer to kick in due to going through the digestive system so people can take too much thinking they needed the whole edible which they did not. It’s trial with each thing. I want to take little bites ongoing if I continue getting edibles.
    With research online I found that with edibles there different types of THC products 1. Sativa-contains both THC and CBD known for a high that is energetic and creative.2.indica THC and CBD known for sedating effects. 3.Hybrids- edibles that include sativa and indica contains both CBD and THC.3. CBC only the component of Marijuana that can relieve pain or anxiety without providing the physchoactive high associated with THC
    I will try the hybrid that sounds best gummy and do small bites.Dr’s won’t issue pain meds even if you have full tear rotator cuffs, or shall I say reluctant to prescribe.So CBD is the answer but also trying THC edibles.

    Hi, the inhaled CBD really works wonders for my anxiety, and focus, but I read that it may be bad for the lungs. The ingested one is about 1/2 as effective, and it seems like it takes a long time for it to go through the system. I am in between a food grade alcohol extraction, and an mct oil mixture, or just taking the distillate pure sublingually. (I use full spectrum .03 per or less Th)
    Currently, some places are working with nano particles for a water soluble version, but it is probably not possible to make it at home, because of the expensive equiptment needed to make it. Also, it is too expensive to purchase pre-made.

    I've tried about every combination of pain relief regarding CBD use, however, my body reacts to CBD as if it were THC. Could this happen to someone who has gone through 25 different types of surgeries including a gastric bypass & has a long & torturous colon, not to mention knowing the immunome system is located in the small intestine which I understand has been bypassed?? Finally, I suffer from chronic fibromyalgia, chronic sinusitis & recent spinal surgery on C5 & C6 vertebrae which is where the central nervous system is located & am diabetic as well to name just a few. I would really invite any information you might inform me of so I might live some quality of life!!

      It's the strain that you need to refine. Plenty of sativas can give an anxiety free lift, and plenty of indicas can give you a jittery down. Relax, be open minded and try some different strains until you find the high you need, then talk to your budtenders about similar strains with similar effects and off you go.

    I am not advocating smoking cannabis but I really do believe the statement that smoking cannabis has the same risks as smoking tobacco is completely unsubstantiated. Tobacco has over 4,000 carcinogenic compounds. I don’t believe any carcinogenic compounds have ever been identified in the cannabis plant. Nor have other diseases like emphysema, heart disease, etc. that are often a direct result of smoking tobacco ever been identified with smoking cannabis. I have no doubt that inhaling smoke from a burning substance on a consistent basis is probably not a great thing to do especially if one already suffers from a respiratory disease. But to state smoking cannabis has the same adverse health effects as smoking tobacco is truly wildly inaccurate and misleading.
