Hoot, you must be so disappointed! How long have you been using medical marijuana? I'm going to talk with my primary health care provider, a DNP, when I see her on August 8, and medical marijuana is something I was going to discuss with her. A friend of mine has severe back pain--she's had surgery, and she's due for surgery again soon--and she's been using medical marijuana. She told me that she puts about one drop under her tongue. If she's in a lot of pain, she'll use two drops. What you've been prescribed sounds like a lot--based on what my friend's taking; she taught at Florida State University's nursing school for years before she retired a couple of years ago--and I hope your doc isn't ripping you off. I hope things improve!

Hazel, I have talked to my Dr. and he is changing what I am taking. I'm switching you to more THC product. The indica will help relax and sleep. Sativa is more stimulating. Recommend you get either an indica strain or a hybrid strain which has both sativa & indica properties. The hybrid combination may not make you as sleepy during the day.
So I will probably be able to get it by Monday. Will let you know how it works. Let's hope it does.
