Hi all, I'm 4 months into medical marijuana use for unremitting osteoarthritis pain not relieved by the usual anti-inflammatory meds. So far I've had mixed results. I believe the the health care industry needs to learn more about the formulation of this product. The measure of pain mitigation is related to the combination of THC and CNB and amount used. It comes in different forms. In N.Y.doctors have to be certified to prescribe it. The 4 hour course is available online. My best relief is achieved by using 2 1T/1C capsules at bedtime and 20T/1C tincture drops at least twice a day plus 600 mgs of ibuprofen as needed. If I have to do anything that requires extreme mental acuity, I refrain from using it. It does make me a bit foggy. The benefits are not worth the cost but it until Big Pharma comes up with something more effective, this is it. I also have PT twice a week for balance and pain.

Thanks for the info! My doc doesn't think it will work for me, but a friend is considering it for neck arthritis and I'll tell her some of your thoughts.

Hi day, tell your friend to try it. Some folks have had better results than me. I think this med needs a little fine tuning. hope it costs less where you are.

I think she will, goodtime, because nothing else is doing the trick. There just aren't enough good options for chronic pain relief. Re: cost, not sure, she's in CA.
