Thank you for this great information. What I discovered about the gummies, that, I like my sister, had a reaction to the CBD, but I did finish taking all of them because they helped me sleep better.
Admittedly, if not for the cost of THC, CBD etc,. I "might" consider using it as an alternative to the opiates. However, with the opiates only costing me $5 per month for enough tablets, I feel that I am getting a "good deal," regardless of whether or not I am dependent upon them for pain relief. After being on them for as long as I have, and with what I have going on presently, I do not see myself getting off of them any time soon. Maybe in a while. Thank you again

@frances007 you should consider trying something more effective for chronic pain than opiates. Percocet or oxycodone are for acute non-chronic pain and they can do a number on your system. I was switched to buprenorphine patch a few years back. Take a look.

Regarding cannabis for pain, I use it to decrease my need for oxycodone for breakthrough pain. I have found that cannabis does not work alone to relieve pain.
