I would look for a CBD product for taking in the morning. I am taking 0.5ml of 220mg/ml CBD with terpenes, it is not as effective as THC/CBD, but it will tie you over if you need to drive somewhere. I take the THC/CBD in the afternoon when I no longer need to drive.

I have sciatica pain on the right side plus lower back pain/strain and was taking Tylenol for it. Someone introduced me to a pain ointment with CBD in it. It also contains some CBN and CBG. It’s quite effective. Most days I no longer need the Tylenol.

@seattle579 that is fantastic that you found a formula that works for you. You’re one of the lucky ones and I hope it continues to hold your symptoms down.

Good morning @gina54, May I add my heartfelt welcome to connect, Thank you for posting about your cannabis usage. I am glad it helps you deal with chronic pain. Would you entertain and consider giving up the smoking, It is not a delivery without health risks. How about a dropper of the same dosage,
May yiou be safe and protected from inner and outer harm,
Chris

I cannot smoke anything due to lung issues but gummies are just as effective for me and last 4 times longer!
