Here's my deal (and I'm a registered "Medical Marijuana Patient" so I'm legal):
I have Rxs for Norco, 10 mg, up to 4 x/day, as needed for pain. (Actually, it's several different pains, but it helps with most of them.)
It takes a full hour and 15 minutes to kick in. Occasionally, I feel high for about 10 minutes, but not always. Most days I take two tabs. I always have leftovers at the end of the month. But opioids cause other problems and if I can reduce the amount I'm using, it would help.
Two "btw's":
-It now takes 10 mg to afford the relief that 2.5 mg gave me ten years ago.
-Because I'm elderly, I now have "paradoxical reactions," backwards reactions, like the reason they give ADD kids uppers. That means that if I'm in pain at night, I can suffer or plan to stay up for several hours.
So, current cannabis inventory:
-Plentiful drops 10:1 cbd:thc (over 300mg cannabis/bottle.)
-Golden State Root Salve 100 mg CBD in jar
-4.20 Bar Dark Chocolate 120 mg CBD, 60 mg THC (2:1)
-Bloom Vape Pex cartridge, 1g, and no more info. (It makes me cough.)
-One cartridge, for vaping, Strawberry Diesel, no further.
-2WNTY3 Vape cartridge--It says "CBD 1:1 Hybrid," "42.5% Total THC, 43.3% CBD, 88.8% Cannabinoids"
I cannot figure out how much of which to use at what intervals. While I rather appreciate a small THC kick because that tells me that the product should be working for pain, too, I don't need to reenact any old Cheech & Chong routines. I've had enough of something to get the munchies. Enough of ?something else? to need a nap. The salve seems to work fairly well for my knees, which are always a morning problem. But the other achey-painey parts don't get help...so something that could help shoulders, hips, lower back, foot and bladder all at once might be great.
Any ideas?
