Good afternoon @ronva2co, I think you are on the right track. First, are you using Medical Cannabis? That is different from Hemp CBD or recreational and even street drugs. CBD actually needs some THC to make if effective for pain management. One company has a dual pack that lets you mix your own. They also give you a chart to go by for the best relief for different presenting pain situations. Let me know if you would like more information on this topic. Be safe and free of suffering. Chris
