Volteran is a NSAID drug sold OTC now in a non-prescription strength 1% diclofenac topical gel. It is just like Naprosyn, Alieve, and other OTC non-prescription NSAID drugs. Too much is not a good thing with these drugs. Please be sure to read the lengthy instructions and information pamphlet provided with your medications as it can save your life. Makes no sense to do all these positive things for ourselves only to turn around and cause unintended harm to ourselves instead. As a retired RN I can assure you the information provided by drug makers is important for your well being if you use medications. Don't take it for granted!
Thank you. I greatly appreciate the warnings. I was not aware of the dangers and will now use Volteran very cautiously. I agree with your analysis that it does not make sense to use any medications that increase one's risk of health problems as contrasted to benefits.

As long as you measure out the correct dosage by using the dosage card includ3d in the box, you should be okay. Also, I believe you shouldn’t use it for longer than one week - or ten days at the most
@artscaping thank you - that’s good to know! I could handle the taste of tangerine or orange! Did you say it comes with a mini spoon? What’s the name of the one you get? Now I will have to look for it here in Ontario. It shouldn’t be difficult as I believe it is legal here ...
Good evening @rashida. I am so sorry I missed your response. Must have been during the switch to the new platform.
You can use a baby spoon if you like. I just fill the dropper and squeeze it into my mouth, hold it under my tongue for 30 secs to a minute and then wait for it to kick in about 15-30 minutes later. I use several types of tinctures. Third-party validated cannabis has passed the regulations. I have found P & B (Papa and Barkley) to be reliable and effective. Care by Design is always on my consistency list for their 2:1 (CBD/THC) Outgo has the best 1:1 (CBD/THC.).

@ artscaping I wonder if I would have a problem when travelling, if I use the CBD oil? I live in Canada and have heard of people having problems when entering the States if they are using any cannabis product.
Of course right now with the lockdown restrictions this is a moot point.
My understanding is that CBD should not give you any problems with TSA. Border security is another story altogether. So you can be certain I suggest you check out the U.S. Customs website to be sure. Youtube has a great deal of videos about Canadians trying to cross into the U.S. and are stopped for various reasons. You don't want to depend on anyone else's opinion for something this important that could jail you are stop you from entering the U.S.
Depends if you use the hemp CBD without the turpenes in it. It is against federal law to have it, but if you go to a recreational mmj dispensary, perhaps you can buy what you need for your stay. Not all states have recreational and the medical card takes some steps to fulfil before you can use it.
Good morning! I have a medical marijuana card in Connecticut. I have been smoking just at night a 3:1 or 5:1 CBD: THC combo. If pain is very bad, then I use an indica blend to sleep and it really does help. I am experimenting with making my own edibles. I take 3300 mg gabapentin - cymbalta and tramadol when needed. I have reduced the tramadol from every night to as needed!

This is interesting. So I’m not a huge fan of the pot high. I didn’t realize you could get weed that had more CBD than THC. So you just ask them at the dispensary for that?

Additionally, Volteran Gel is available as a patch that provides 12 hours of area specific relief. It works much better that the gel alone but requires prescription from your doc.

Good evening @stephdoug123, @luann262 Thank you for responding to the posts about the benefit of medical cannabis. I can't support the smoking option, I find that tinctures work quite well and give you the option of changing the dosages based upon your need for pain control.
I use a 1:1 CBD/THC for the get-up and get going call in the morning. The afternoon can be a 1:3 CBD/THC if it has been one of those kinds of days. And I find comfort in a 2:1 CBD/THC tincture at bedtime. You can also change the quantity or frequency if required, e.g. a full dropper might be too much or too little for your need. The challenge is that you are your own prescriber and monitor for evaluating the performance of the marijuana dose.
