Members discussed the question of using marijuana for pain management, with several sharing their experiences using various forms including vaporizer pens with oils, edibles like lozenges, and products high in CBD and low in THC to address different symptoms throughout the day. Many members described practical strategies such as waiting until afternoon to use cannabis to preserve cognitive function, choosing CBD-dominant products for daily soreness, and reserving higher THC options for severe flare-ups, with one member noting their medical team considers it safer than prescription pain pills. A recurring theme was the learning curve involved in finding the right product and dosage, the variety of consumption methods available beyond smoking, and the importance of approaching cannabis use thoughtfully rather than impulsively while building knowledge through trusted sources and medical guidance.

I just got my medical card and will have my first appointment Friday at registry....i find it to be helpful...there are different strands that address different symptoms and also many different items are available for different effects as well.

There are many ways to use cannabis like a vaporizer pen which is used with the oils...there are edibles like brownies cookies candies....tinctures....lotions.....lip balm...many forms. Also there are different kinds that address different symptoms and have less or hardly any THC in them which is the hallucinogenic part of marijuana. I'm hoping for something in the day time like an edible that lasts a little longer and helps with low energy level...im always so tired. Also something for nights to help me sleep and something for a flare up that will kick ass....them I can maybe feel normal for a day...i will let you all know how it goes tomorrow!

get the 13 year old next door to teach you ... just kidding. You can bake it into cookies, brownies. I wish you wouldn't call yourself stupid. From the way you write I can tell you're anything but stupid. When we feel like crap, are limited in our activities because of body pain plus have Fibro Fog, we need to hang out with people who are kind to us.~ starting with ourselves.

I have been using some high in cbd and low in thc and it helps ease my day to day soreness. I go back in a few days to try more things. I felt the edibles I got, lozengers were too high in thc just made me stuck to the couch. Probably good for flare up
