@rwinney, I find it that medicinal cannabis & mostly High CBD medical cannabis does not work well for me. Instead of feeling better from it it gives me the runs. & when I take the oil Tinctures of Higher doses as in THC/CBD 20:1 unlike most people I do not feel any euphoric effects as I do from the 1:20 Ratio of mostly CBD medical cannabis. Vaping or smoking is not an option for someone like me, I have COPD/Asthmatic. So I tried capsules & Matter & Pharmacannis, Curaleaf have great capsules & they are economically cheaper than the oils/Tinctures & I take the extra strength 2capsules a day & 1-2 chews/like gummies. No measuring needed no surprise reactions. I'm the 1 in a million type of body endocanaboid system that does not give me any type of Euphoric feelings from high doses of medical cannabis containg higher THC levels & I usually carry a few pcs in my purse in a pill cont. In NYC there are numerous different Dispensaries & each 1 varies by different styles, Sizes & Ratios in strength & styles & prices. I suffer from Chronic Pain due to Degenerative Disc Disease. I definately get lots of relief from my chronic pain issue's.
I think if a style of medical cannabis, or Hemp CBD/no THC products help some people that's great too. It just makes sense to at least try different styles & Ratios we are all different, & we all want some type of releif. I'm glad capsules & gummies work for me & they are convenient & not as pricey as 1 would think at certain dispensaries in each state. Also most states have a sign on bonus where they deduct the amount you pay your Dr. For RX. & if you have Medicare or Medicaid or Veteran's get certain deductions & every month you go during sale days & you save $$$. So it works out where it is not cheap but affordable for most. And there are also loyalty points for every $ you spend then the next time u go get ur usual meds they deduct it off your amount due. It works best for me to take capsules, convenient & no fuss no muss.
I hope everyone has alot less misery from chronic pain issue's, etc. Best wishes to all. ☺
Have a Beautiful day or nite depends how & when 1 reads this msg.

Hey there @msstoppainnagginme Thanks for your message. I'm very happy you've found beneficial doses and products. I like how you've described the cost tips and tricks of the trade. This post will be helpful to many. I've finally gotten my Medical Marijuana use down pat as it took months of experimenting. I use 20:1 THC:CBD "extra strength" oil, capsules and chewable tablets. The chewable tablets are scored down the center for easy cutting and smaller dose when needed. They are a bit more costly. The oil costs me $59 a bottle and I was able to milk it out for 2 months as I only use when hydrocodone cant help my pain or certain types of pain, such as terrible aching and throbbing. I agree, the capsules are definitely cheaper, and effective, they just take longer to work through your digestive system. Oil under the tongue, of course, is the quickest release for me as it hops right into the blood stream for quick action. I carefully adjust my oil dosing as I can feel unwanted effects if I dont space 2 hours apart from my hydrocodone dose or have food in my stomach. I choose not to smoke or vape. I'm not a happy camper, that it's come to my use of narcotics and marijuana but, who'd have ever thought I'd live with neuropathy. Not me! Wishing you well in continued pain relief and success. Take care.
