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

Hi Chris, you probably mentioned your “reputable” source in a past post but could you please tell us again which online source you use? I am going to Ca. in November and plan to purchase some to bring home. Thanks, Helen

Hello @artscaping. The Count on Me Club is a wonderful idea. How fortunate you are to be surrounded with such caring neighbors. Thank you for your response. I have an appointment with the pharmacist at the marijuana dispensary on Friday to discuss other treatment options and the information you provided on what works for you will help me when I go for the consultation. I have only used the spray and it is sprayed under the tongue. I think you are correct that it may be more difficult to monitor how much I am actually getting from the spray. When I talk to the pharmacist I will ask about using a tincture and also inquire about using a topical treatment as well (which I have never tried). I remain hopeful that I will find a combination that will help to ease the discomfort. You are a role model as to what can be achieved.
