In in PA and not sure how your mmj program works in your location. I started using CBD first in 2018 and it helped me reduce my PRN oxycodone from 6 to 4 a day. I added THC in 2019. I still use buprenorphine patch 20 mcg 1x week and I cannot take NSAIDs. My chronic pain with leg involvement from OA, stenosis, bone Spurs and an old fusion with Pedicle plates and screws is a challenge. Using mmj has helped me cope with my pain and mental stress of my illness. I’m in a mmj clinical trial from Thomas Jefferson Univ Hospital in Phila too
