I recently started using gummies with the intention to back off Oxycodone. I started using amounts of the cube cut in four equal pieces. In short what I've found is the edibles affect my coordination such that I would never drive. However, after using Oxy for decades I have no issues with balance or judgement. The edibles have a similar effect in low doses for me. Lately with the cold and messy snow to move I've been more uncomfortable than back in December. I also use a 1:1 CBD-THC creme rub on called Avexia. I use that in place of Voltaren. The Voltaren makes my urine dark and I have a kidney issue. I find the Avexia works well on everything. It's pricy here in NJ at around $50. I think I'm going to split the rubs using the Avexia only on my back. The Voltaren on neck, shoulders, hands and knees. Away from my kidneys that is...

Do the topicals give you a high feeling? I am thinking if purchasing, but THC makes me paranoid.

@woojr I read your post about mixing Volteran with Avexia (I’m not familiar with it) and I wanted to point something out for you. If you’re using Volteran on the numerous spots you noted please be cautious with the amount you use. Volteran is an NSAID medication and we have a limit out livers can tolerate before damage begins. Pharmaceutical info indicates 8 grams or 8,000mg is the maximum dose per day for upper extremity single joint and 16 grams or 16,000mg for lower extremity single joint for osteoarthritis pain. Whether the brand name or generic each box contains a plastic card to assist in dosing correctly that you should use. Good luck and be safe.
