Welcome to Connect, Karen. I'm turning 70 in August, but I don't (usually) feel as ancient as that sounds.
Oregon, where I live, legalized marijuana a while ago, both medical and recreational. Trouble is, no doctor in central Oregon will prescribe it, so you have to meet with a doctor who makes the rounds of a bunch of weed stores. She's in my town one day a month, and the last I heard was that the annual visit is around $250.00. Then there's another $250.00 to the state for a permit - also an annual fee. If you can afford that, you still have to buy it, and medical marijuana is very expensive. I suppose that some day insurance will cover it, but at this point it's all on you.
There are products available online that are derived from marijuana. Three of my siblings use CBD oil and swear by it. Rachel, I think, mentioned Chris @artscaping as a helpful resource.
Do you purchase the ingredients for your potion at a store or online? It's great that you have found something that lets you sleep without pain.
Jim

Hi Jim, I never looked at a health food store for quality essential oils but I had never thought of that. I know a lady who sells these. But I have seen them on Amazon also. The brands I mentioned are pure with no water or fillers. You only need a couple drops in your lotion. They try to sell you “carrier oil or lotion” but I just use any kind from WalMart I have. Copaiba is less expensive and works great.

If you live in a state where it's legalized for recreational use that's where you buy it. You don't have to buy a lot as you get a very tiny little pipe and just a splash of of weed take to pokes and that's all you're going to need. It's the THC that will just slowly calm you down in a few minutes and the best part about marijuana there is no side effects. In fact all the side effects are good you feel good you're hungry, you eat well and you laugh. They're using marijuana and Israel to nursing homes and they are getting such great results as well as dealing with the comfort of their patients along with helping with dementia. It's been around for thousands of years and it will be another thousand years that millions of people use it. Again, it's not the creases the pain it makes it more comfortable to deal with it.
