Indica or sativa?

Use Indica for body relief. A lot will be hybrids. It truly is trial and error. I just bought some gummies 1:1 Indica and CBD, they seem to dull the pain somewhat without the high.

Hi, I am 59 years old female with CIDP, Lupus RA, OA, Sjogrens, Graves, TBI and immunocompromized.
In current pain 24/7 , I just started THC Tincture it lightness the pain. I just wish I did not need this but my doctors and my sponsor seem to promote me on recertifying my license which I did.
If anyone wants to contact me, that would greatly be appreciated.

It’s better for you than pharmaceuticals. Our bodies lose the natural canniboids it makes. Replacing them rejuvenates your whole system! 😊

I have a Med Marj card for 3 years. I prefer flower or vape as my primary items. I do use gummies and tinchers depending on how I feel. My pain is focused on my feet from SFN since 2018. To sleep at night I need this.

I have found I receive tremendous relief from foot Neuropathy with the use of Medical Marijauna. Sorry I didn't agree to give it a try years ago. All those nights of burning pain, I could have had relief! I use gummies and if the pain is very intense, I use a few drops of Tinture along with the gummy.

Yes and I will try that.

Here is a tincture that I take in case you're interested in seeing(attached photo). I get it through my medical license. The CBN part of this tincture does (to me) help some with nerve pain. The THC part just helps to relax me. I take a full dropper at night of this and then had a THC:CBD tincture that I take 3 times daily.

I find that I have better relief with products that contain CBN in them.

I use an indica tincture, I too have a medical license.
I only use the tincture at night.
What is the CBN difference

I am not the best at explaining things so I found a link to help lol. Basically CBN is aged and broken down THC. I have found from my testing when I have a consistent build up of CBN my body overall feels a bit better.

Here is the link I found if you're interested.

in reply to @mmoss I occasionally use WYLD Cannabis Infused Gummies with the following ingredients:
CBN: 5/100mg
THC: 5/100mg
CBD: 5/100mg

While these are helpful for both sleep and pain, I do not see them as a long term solution for my chronic pain, and for which I am currently using Percocet because of a shortage of the Hydrocodone 10/325. I will be going back on the Hydrocodone this month, but the dose will be 7.5/325 because of the lingering shortage at my Walmart pharmacy. While the Percocet has been helpful, it comes with a much higher copay than the Norco, and for this reason alone I have asked to be put back on the Norco which I have been taking for years, and will continue to take until a solution for my problem(s) is ascertained. The gummies, while helpful, are also expensive, at least here in California. 20 gummies cost about $40, which for me is a bit out of my budget.
