Good evening @trs, That is a wonderful idea to keep a journal. You are so spot on about being your own teacher with cannabis. Would you please share your reason for using it. What are your spasms about? Is it your primary source of pain control? I use tincture....both 1:1 and 2:1 ...one in the am and one in the afternoon and pm. Have you tried the "hold it under your tongue" method to get the tincture to work more quickly?

I am pleased with the regulatory work that has been done to ensure better product quality and consistency. I have never had much luck with gummies or edibles. They seem erratic and somewhat unpredictable. How do you use them? May you have a lovely sleep.

Hi Chris,
I use medical cannabis to help with stiffness, pain and spasms. SPS spasms in my case are the most debilitating. Prior to turning to medical cannabis, I had exhausted medication including epidurals, balcofen and many others. I had to experiment with different products, doses and method of use. It required me to journal daily. 2:1 ratio does not seem to work for me. However, the gummies, vape, chocolates and my home made tincture (I mix the medical cannabis is Agave syrup) and use it in my hot beverages or take a tablespoon before I retire to bed. Also, adding the 1:1 rso in the Agave cuts way down on my cost. One bottle last about 2 months depending on my symptoms. The capsules do not work for me. I try to stay with the same company and Iow experiment ounif the product is not available. Remember, all cannabis is not the same. More specifically, different medical cannabis company's products will produce a different impact, even if it's a 1:1 ratio of the THC/CBD. And no one seems to know why. You find what works for you and stay with it. I am good with exploring, because just like differences within medical cannabis, so are there differences with SPS. And medical cannabis is safer😁 My focus is on doing everything, everyday that I can to function at my best. So I fight! Hopefully, I will write an article this winter on my experience. I am on Valium PRN, but unless I travel out of state, I never use it. Thank God!
