Hi, John: I had been reading posts re: nerve & spinal stenosis pain specifically, and several members posted re how they use CBD/THC products, but had specific questions I thought Chris might be able to answer. Could she forward you the message I sent to her? Meantime, I will check the link you sent me.
Thanks,

I won't smoke it, but I have used the creams. They seemed to help for a while but then no longer. good luck.

I have been using medical marijuana for about 6 years and was lucky at the beginning to get counseled by a wonderful man who said to go slow and low. My med. marijuana doctor had ordered too much and at too high a level. I needed it so much before I had my right hip replaced. So I take half of a 10:10 of THC to CBD. I always do the 1:1 as I don't get high. James had told me that the CBD would offset the THC's highness. Since I have balance problems, I don't want to get highor dizzy It helps take away the pain and really helps me sleep. I hope this helps.
