Health

I don't have the curvature of the spine but do have osteoarthritis. I also have chronic severe headaches. Cannabis helps with both pains. I am in Calif so we have plenty of stores and you don't need any card.

My sister, who had never smoked cannabis her entire life (she is 70) got a medical card a few years ago and did the non-high route (CBD). Later she learned, as we all have, that the high is a part of the no pain. Now she uses a vape pipe and edibles for her pain, as do I.

Try not to listen to the bullshit that has been told by media over the years and accept the high. It really isn't that high unless you really overdo it and that is hard to do unless you do edibles and overdo them.

And if you don't have to go anywhere, try the edibles. They are great for all day relief but be careful when taking them. It can take up to two hours before you feel it. Many have assumed that it wasn't working enough and then eat more. And then they regret it.

If you do edibles, limit yourself to only 10 mg per dose at first. The average dose is 15 mg but start lower to see if you are comfortable with the feeling. It is a little different high than smoke or vape. It changes to a different chemical in the liver, close but not quite the same chemical.

Good luck with your pain and the treatment of it.
