My Psychiatrist asked me to try medical cannabis. Once I did, I was totally amazed. Why is cannabis not legal everywhere in the United States, it boggles the brain.
First off, I was guided to learn what "my perfect dosage" of edible was, I started out really small. I gradually worked up to an amount that works beautifully for me.
I am no longer eating ibuprofen or tylenol for chronic back pain (I have broken mine twice). I am actually "regular" for the first time in my life, ever. It helps me to relax and it helps me sleep. I do not like the feeling of being stoned, so I titered my dosage to combat pain while leaving me alert for the day. I take a different type at night for sleep.
Good luck on your search for answers and solutions. I am a 68 year old grandmother of five. Everyone in the family knows to leave Grandma's bears/medicine in the freezer alone.
