I have had many surgeries, injections, ablations on my lower back. I get hyaluronic acid & cortisone injections in both knees every 6 months. Left hip is close to failing. Right hip has been replaced. Both rotator cuffs have significant tears.
I went years decades not sleeping well. Before the major crackdowns on pain management I was taking a Dilaudid, Ambien and Xanax every single night to maybe get 4 hours sleep.
When medical marijuana became legal, it saved my life.
The Indica strain does nothing but relax you and put you to sleep. It did take quite awhile for me to figure out the best dosage for myself. I’m not a smoker so that was not an option.
I take a capsule which usually starts working in about 90 min.
I eat a gummy which usually starts working in 20-30 minutes.
Last, I put 1 ml of tincture under my tongue which starts working in about 10-15 minutes.
Most nights I get a minimum of 6-7 hours. No grogginess the next day. So much better than pharmaceuticals. Unfortunately it’s expensive.
