Medical Marahuana will make you forget your pain (out of mind )

Use Indica for body relief. A lot will be hybrids. It truly is trial and error. I just bought some gummies 1:1 Indica and CBD, they seem to dull the pain somewhat without the high.

It’s better for you than pharmaceuticals. Our bodies lose the natural canniboids it makes. Replacing them rejuvenates your whole system! 😊

I have a Med Marj card for 3 years. I prefer flower or vape as my primary items. I do use gummies and tinchers depending on how I feel. My pain is focused on my feet from SFN since 2018. To sleep at night I need this.

I am not the best at explaining things so I found a link to help lol. Basically CBN is aged and broken down THC. I have found from my testing when I have a consistent build up of CBN my body overall feels a bit better.

Here is the link I found if you're interested.

in reply to @mmoss I occasionally use WYLD Cannabis Infused Gummies with the following ingredients:
CBN: 5/100mg
THC: 5/100mg
CBD: 5/100mg

While these are helpful for both sleep and pain, I do not see them as a long term solution for my chronic pain, and for which I am currently using Percocet because of a shortage of the Hydrocodone 10/325. I will be going back on the Hydrocodone this month, but the dose will be 7.5/325 because of the lingering shortage at my Walmart pharmacy. While the Percocet has been helpful, it comes with a much higher copay than the Norco, and for this reason alone I have asked to be put back on the Norco which I have been taking for years, and will continue to take until a solution for my problem(s) is ascertained. The gummies, while helpful, are also expensive, at least here in California. 20 gummies cost about $40, which for me is a bit out of my budget.
