Good afternoon @hertz. I think it is good that you have decided to do some digging into medical cannabis as an option. Perhaps your son is genuinely trying to help you. The most reliable medical cannabis products are tinctures. You can determine your dosage method and strength very well with tinctures.

If you hold it under your tongue and let it go through that membrane, you will get relief within 15 minutes that lasts 3-4 hours. If you swallow it or put it in a beverage, it has to go through your digestive system, so that may take 45 minutes and you may not get it all at once so the time frame for pain relief is somewhat unpredictable.

Please be careful, you can always have more, you can never have less. You do not need to have any psychoactive results. There need not be any high. If there was anything I would avoid it is edibles because the dosing is not reliable. It is sort of like eating the cookie dough when your mom wasn't looking...you didn't always get a chocolate chip. Let me know what other information you might need or want. If it is within my experience I will gladly share it with you. Be free of suffering today. Chris

The edible I have tried made me just as high!!!! I think you have to try for yourself to really know what you can stand! Lori Renee
