I've only tried CBD gummies and don't like that I can't control how long they take to work. I have both CBD tincture and THC tincture and find I prefer the CBD for pain, one full dropper three times a day. THC makes me sleepy. I'd does take 4-6 weeks of consistent use to "train" your body's receptors, at least that's how I understand it. It's very important to get high quality full spectrum tinctures from a reputable store, not over the counter from a corner store.

Good evening @maxiesmom. It was good to read your post and that you are having success with some cannabis options. I do have a question. Are you using gummies because you like the taste of them? Unfortunately, you are correct, it is not possible to predict the time it will take them to become effective. Your best option is to use tinctures, hold the dose under your tongue and let it mix with saliva. As it penetrates without going through the digestive system, you should have a positive response within 15 minutes as opposed to 45 -60 minutes. You will also be getting a complete dose and not one that has been diluted.
I am curious about the sleepy THC. Are you using 100% THC? Are you using a Sativa or perhaps an Indica? I have never used a 100% THC dosage. Having said that, I do resort to a 1:3 CBD/THC dose when my pain is very high. I think each of us has to do the research, find the ingredients and then evaluate the reaction. At this time, I use only cannabis for my neuropathic pain control. I am noticing that the SFN's intensity is progressing and so will be wanting to know how I can keep up with it.
What do you think will be necessary?
May you have peace and ease.
Chris
