Members shared mixed experiences using medical marijuana for chronic pain, with many finding relief through specific formulations while others struggled with side effects like paranoia, anxiety, or histamine reactions. Several members emphasized that combining CBD and THC in various ratios (such as 1:1 or 2:1), using tinctures for precise dosing, or exploring THCA products provided the best pain relief, though some noted that pure CBD alone required consistent daily use over weeks to build effectiveness. A recurring theme was the importance of experimenting to find the right strain, dosage, and delivery method for individual needs, with many members balancing the desire for pain relief against the challenge of avoiding unwanted psychoactive effects or high costs.

My experience is you need CBD and THC for pain relief. Smoking and vaping work the fastest but does not last as long. Edibles can take up to two hours to work, but last longer. Works better that the meds.

Yes I do, I tried several plants I like to make my own butter and make cookies for nighttime use. It definitely helps you sleep and with pain. One cookie! Right now I'm growing harlequin strain it's high-cbd which is an anti-inflammatory and low THC that's the stuff that gives you a buzz

I got very confused researching cbd oil. I had tried edibles but they increased my anxiety. On line, you can find a lot of info but how do you find a place that will give you a consistant product without costing too much.

@A MyFibroTeam Member 🌹 .... I thought CBD worked like that as well. Exactly as you described it. But when I was researching CBD products I spoke with sevetal companies before I placed my order and one of the consistent things that each company told me was that CBD was not a blood level element. Meaning that each time I ingested a tincture or a capsule, the result I would experience would be tied only to that single dose and that pain levels would not improve over time. Which was fortunate for me since my reaction to CBD was a histamine response, it faded within hours. But you report that when you took it episodically vs regularly, you noticed a difference. So that's interesting! πŸ˜ŽπŸ’« I wonder if the formulation and type (capsule or tinture) changes the effect. πŸ’žπŸ€”
