Has anyone used CBD oil for chronic pain? And do you have results?

Pain makes ppl be in Fight or Flight mode which wakes us up in middle of night. About 2 hrs before bedtime I take 1/2 Ashwagandha tablet. It calms the nervous system. I use 1:1 Indica TruClear in a syring and just squirt out 1 grain of regular rice size (and not a bit more) onto end of a toothpick. I buy it from Trulieve. Then put under tongue about 2 min. It starts working in 1 1/4 hrs. Then Rt at bedtime I take 1/2 size grain of rice of Mirtazapine. I sleep 8 hrs that way and don’t wake up. Good luck.

You are right - there is no standard dose. I was told in beginning to start with one drop of CBD and one of THC. But I do some days use just two drops of CBD and one of THC every 7 hrs. It makes me a little sleepy so I certainly don’t drive during that time.
You are finding ur way thru it all. I commend you.

I've been experimenting with, & have had marginal luck with both making CBD & THC oils, using a pressure cooker for decarboxylation, & infusion using a crockpot. (an internet recipe)
I believe my infusions are only at about 50% of what they should be, but I could be wrong. That's the problem with this method of making oil - there's no standardization in my process.
Anyways,
I find that a 20:1 CBD:THC ratio seems to help me out. I also have a vape that I can mix the same ratio CBD & THC, which also helps. Too much THC & my back pain actually increases.
The syringe you purchased looks like it's THC only - did you take a form of CBD also? For me it's all about CBD!
I'm thinking of buying one of those decarboxylation/infusion machines, for consistency.
