@artscaping. Thanks very much for this. Especially interesting since I do have borderline osteoporosis. I see from reading through past postings that you get some relief with medical marijuana. I have been using it for about the last 6 to 7 weeks without any result. I am using a spray with a 1:1 ratio of CBD to THC. Each two spray dosage delivers 6 mg of CBD and 6 mg of THC. I started out very slowly and kept increasing the dose and then went back to the dispensary to talk to the pharmacist. She recommended trying 2 sprays every 4 hours and 3 sprays at night. Have been doing this for a little over a week with no change. I am going to go back and discuss getting a product with a lower ratio of THC and perhaps try that during the day and the 1:1 ratio spray at night. As others have said, I don’t like the high feeling from the THC. I am also going to see if I can also use a topical cannabis cream along with the sprays. Anyway I will persevere for awhile to see what happens.

Hello, again @sunny2, Nice to see a post from you again. I wish I had great answers. Let's start with "yes" I use medical cannabis every day. It is my total pain control choice. May I ask about the spray? Is this a common delivery device? You say you have not felt any relief from your pain. And If I read this correctly you are going to discuss your lack of success with your pharmacist.
I have only used the spray once when I was traveling early in my attack on pain so I am not the expert here. Do you spray it under your tongue where that porous membrane disperses the droplets without running them through your digestive system? Tinctures from a reputable company known for its consistent quality are my cannabis choice. My thinking is that the droplets from the spray do not equate to a half dropper of a tincture. What do you think?
The topicals are my "lifesaver" Without them, I am known to start rubbing my hands together until it drives everyone crazy. Once again the quality is important. My resource said that with topicals you choose a dosage ratio for the pain. 3:1 CBD/THC for chronic muscular pain. 1:3 CBD/THC for more acute pain and neuropathy. Let me know of question or concerns.
May you have a restful sleep. Chris
