in reply to @fncz I would recommend that you go to a reliable "store" that sells such products. Many of the employees have a good grasp of the products they sell, assuming you go to a reputable place that sells cannabis products. I recently tried a combination of THC and CBD, and it did help with the pain. The CBD helps with pain, whereas the THC helped me sleep.

Agreed, I found a brand that is 1:20 THC/CBD tincture. All brands and efficiency are not the same. Topicals work great as well. Don't give up. Invest in the topicals and tinctures until you find what works. Ohio has excellent growers. I really like Lighthouse and Butterfly Affect brands of topical. I really like UBGood 1:20 THC/CBD tincture. Also, Butterfly Affect makes the best pure THC tincture for breakthrough pain. Tinctures are better regulated, low-n-slow until you find what level of pain relief you need at a given time.

Thank you for this great information. What I discovered about the gummies, that, I like my sister, had a reaction to the CBD, but I did finish taking all of them because they helped me sleep better.
Admittedly, if not for the cost of THC, CBD etc,. I "might" consider using it as an alternative to the opiates. However, with the opiates only costing me $5 per month for enough tablets, I feel that I am getting a "good deal," regardless of whether or not I am dependent upon them for pain relief. After being on them for as long as I have, and with what I have going on presently, I do not see myself getting off of them any time soon. Maybe in a while. Thank you again
