Night pain: CBD, THC and sleep

I don't want anything with THC anymore. I smoked for many years and am like Obelix who fell into the cauldron 🙂 CBD is fantastic and the products from Weedborn are the best on the market! After many failed attempts with other brands I finally found this brand. The products at Weedborn are the best and I don't think I will ever have to look for another CBD supplier again.

Diclofenac only comes 1-3% gel and 1.3% by patch but not 10% which is not sold in US if sold anywhere at that strength.

I am in Canada , it is 10% here

Here is my latest encounter with our Cannabis's Distributor today. I always get a cream 1-1 with CBD and THC cream for my feet. Hey, it works for me!! I tell him I have PN and it helps my feet, especially at night. So the clerk says, "We are out of that one." I asked for a different brand, and he says. "I have straight THC cream, it's not a pain killer" ( brilliant) I asked if he had another brand, and he just stares at me. He was in a really bad mood! So another clerk walks by, and I asked her, She finds a product for me and then turns it back over ( for credit) to clerk #1. Clerk #1 gets pissed at me, ( oh I should say "angry",) and grumbles with dirty looks while I pay for the product. Geez!! People! It just happened...I'll get over it..LOL. Just talking...

Do you still recommend WeedBorn? Just starting our journey to find a product that will help my husband’s neuropathy pain post spinal surgery.

I wonder if we can buy dicofenic 10% in Canada from the states? I did see where compounding pharmacies can prepare a 10% product with a physician prescription. But I doubt if any pharmacy benefit program would pay for a 10% solution since they don’t cover the current prescription strength since it’s OTC 1%.

I began using Voltaren and generics with 1%. I was using quite a lot on all joints and noticed my urine darkening. I have a kidney issue and decided to look for an alternative. I'm from NJ and found some ointments available at the local cannabis shop. I've been using "Avexia" a 1:1 pain relief balm. I like the way it works fast and my urine isn't so dark. I don't feel any side effects from the THC. I just saw another advertised in a Nova shop. It's also 1:1 but has a much better price. I'll be buying some in a couple weeks and I'll post something about the product I buy. O just wish they has a way of applying it to my back. Currently my wife rubs it in and she's never to my knowledge used any cannabis in her 70+ years of life. If she does feel something she's never mentioned it. I use it for joint pain in my back, neck, hands, shoulders and knees. Basically everything. I still use a dose of Voltaren here and there because I have a few tubes I bought awhile ago. I bought it off eBay at low cost no scripts free shipping. If you are using 10%, I can't imagine what my kidneys and liver would say about that much NSAID... not good for me for sure.

You say you’re using a “a lot” of Volteran on your joints and urine is turning dark plus you have kidney disease. Also, hematuria (blood in urine) which may appear orange if diluted occurs in 1-10% of users. Please read this article about Volteran gel so you can be a smarter consumer.

I have had no problem with taking them together and my husband hasn't either. I take 600mg of gabapentin at bedtime and usually about 4 hours later, I take the THC & CBD. My husband takes 300mg of gabapentin at bedtime and about 4 hours later he takes the THC & CBD. It works for us and I hope it works for you

If you don’t mind me jumping in on this discussion…I take 600mg of gabapentin at bedtime also which would be 10 pm. So, then I would take the cbd/ thc at 2 am? I have been juggling meds forever and wake up constantly so it would be very helpful and never think of taking it middle of night. Also, do you take a certain ratio of cbd/thc? Getting desperate to sleep and nerve pain is relentless.
