PMR pain management with medical cannabis

I’m in Australia and cannabis is basically illegal except in a few jurisdictions. Medicinal is available but very hard to get. Of course, it’s available illegally but I’m in my 70’s and don’t circulate in those places any more :). Two things. I was able to get CBD patches from a naturopath and I managed a bit of sleep but nothing much otherwise. Our neighbour who mows our lawn was chatting to my partner who mentioned my PMR and he gave him a small bag. It was quite strong so probably high THC and hydroponic. I made cookies and it worked well although too much and you don’t move, and moving is critical to feeling well and getting better. There were some seeds in it so I grew my own plant and harvested it this Autumn, a month ago. It works a treat in cookies. Not too strong so I go about my daily life, swim, Pilates, walk, garden. I went off prednisone last November after a year and have been dealing with the stiffness and aches, which are slowly improving. I’m lucky as I responded straight away to prednisone but getting off it was harder as stiffness returned. Nothing like the full on PMR but I now need to recover. It’s a journey.

Cazwell50? Can I move to Australia to meet you and learn your ways. You sound fun as heck and a force of nature. I had forgotten about the benefits of pot baking. That used to work so well on another issue Ihad years ago. You do have to be careful. There is a delayed reaction but it is a smoother way to handle the pain.
