Arthrtitis

I think this is the right spot. I took a wee bit too much coconut oil this evening and am a bit slammed.

I find weed edibles are the best method of mitigating my arthritic pain. I have typed for about 30 years and and breakneck speed for 15 to 20. I can not remember. My hands ache like sore teeth a lot of the time unless I have a brownie that was infused with my coconut oil MBM2 so even i get it right.

Do others find it helps with arthritis ?

Can you get a script for that?

I have arthritis and I don't really see the pain relief by smoking. But I also don't get high from edibles. I never really considered using edibles for pain management.

edibles will put you down when you overdose. if i had cancer or something as drastic i would absolutely eat my own homemade edibles. i learned to respect them wholeheartedly.

I don't know why edibles don't do everything for me. Except that my tolerance is high. We make brownies and cookies and candies, all my friends say that their high as hell on one or even only a half, but I'll eat four and do six bong rips and smoke three joints and then I'm like ok whatever. And I'm talking about good genetics too, top shelf not just some bs mids. I think it's because I have to function at a high level of cognitive control to do my job and I've been smoking everyday for over 35 years. Sometimes when I change strains I get really high, but not very often.

I believe that some people have a fast metabolism and actually digest the canabanoids before they become fully activated. Or something like that.

Maybe try tincture under the toungue for a similar but stronger/ shorter lasting effect?

Your receptors are overloaded. The only way to fix it is to abstain a couple of weeks and then a bong rip will do it. But who wants to do that :o

I use my.cannatonic 4 cbd HP pheno extract for my RA. I haven' taken my ra drugs in 2+yrs. Methotrexate or the iv infusion med (forgot name).

My MS patients also use it exclusively with awesome results.
I will look for a strain with more CBD for the next run. I might as well run my last 4 autos because the ruderalis has bit more CBD than the regular strains. Thanks

What area are you in? If your local, I'll gift you a c4 clone.
I am in the great white north eh. But I appreciate amigo. I find edibles do the trick I will just get some CBD in the next batch. I just remember I have a half of pennywise in the garage that I will add to my next batch of oil

Started using MMJ for arthritis in my knees. Dr in 2005 told me to get both replaced. Pain was too much in 2007 and I did many things, working out to strengthen knees, losing weight, trying synvisc injections, and finally in 2008 started using mmj. smoking the best indica flowers i could purchase from dispensaries.

I studied the pain question, what is your level between 1-10, and came up with my answer. MMJ treats pain up to and including level 7. Finally, in 2013 I had knees replaced, bone on bone. I believe that I gave myself 5 more years on my own bones by treating the pain with MMJ. Strong NSAIDs were prescribed but did not help as much as MMJ.

Using a great topical with CBD and thc, gives immediate relief on shoulders now. Sort of like Ben Gay.

Wife does not use MMJ, but she tried the topical CBD on her hips and saw immediate relief, now uses it every night before bed.
