CBD for Pain Relief?

Posted by apagano7 @apagano7, 22 hours ago

Has anyone tried using CBD for pain relief…whether it was eaten, smoked or used topically?

Yes, highly recommend. I live in FL and have my medical marijuana card. I found that micro dosing is the best for pain. It helps our sensitized brains to disassociate from the pain. My pain is under control between that and my Pilates/tai chi practice.

@duvaldena good to know! Do you microdose with cannabis or with CBD? I use cannabis at night but it doesn’t last throughout the night and I end up tossing and turning from aches after midnight.

I take a Snoozy "Sleep with benefit" gummy which has 10 THC, 10 CBD, and 10 CBN. It takes about a half hour to kick in and it eases my pain and usually puts me to sleep for 3-4 hours. When I wake up, I take a 10 mg trazodone to sleep the rest of the night. I also use a THC/CBD rub on my neck, upper, back and shoulders if they're especially bothering me.

I haven't because a few people I know who tried CBD gummies, ended up with brutal panic attacks.

I use CBD/Thc topical cream. I can put it specific in an area and get relief for 2-3 hours. Then I reapply. Perfect before bed. I do read that you need both CBD/THC combo to better activate the CBD. Not one to one unless you want. Weed is legal in Oregon so I listen to the weed specialist. Unfortunately if I use THC, my pain gets worse. Weird body cuz we’re all different lol. 😂

@luvpets15 do you find the topical cream helps with the aches? I’m picking up some this afternoon that has THC/cbd/cbn in it and I’m hoping to find some relief for the daytime and evening.

@apagano7 I find it makes a huge difference in my pain. I was having trouble sleeping last night due to neck pain that seemed to come out of nowhere. I slathered my neck and shoulders with the THC/CBD/CBN and I drifted off within a half hour. I sure hope it helps you!
