Hi @opi yes I agree, THC is often much more helpful for many and w.o. the side effects of some of these ghastly things the docs prescribe. Glad your wife gets some benefit from it. Mine does too but tries to limit it's use to twice a week as she feels it loses it's edge if she does it more often. The only drug scrip she has ever used was for gabapentin. Those side effects were awful for her and she vowed not to use another pharmaceutical drug after that one. Best, Hank

She can also use cannabis in cheap vodka--in a jar pour enough vodka over the crushed leaves that it's about an inch deeper than the leaves and let the leaves soak for at least 3 weeks in a warm place. I read that alcohol draws out the THC the same way oil does. I have RA and use about a teaspoon a day of the liquid when I remember. Sometimes I alternate those days with hemp extract under the tongue. Adjust frequency and amount as needed (never before driving).
