Cut the gummies in 1/4 size, then experiment carefully, and take them AFTER a meal..... I had the same issue, as apparently I'm a VERY CHEAP drunk....

Go low, go slow. Try cutting those gummies in half or smaller until you find a comfortable amount.

∆8 is def to get you high in states where not legal.
it comes from legal CBD.
CBD has been shown to help osteoarthritis:

Some studies in animals suggest that CBD could help treat arthritis and relieve the associated inflammatory pain. For example:
A 2017 study found that CBD might be a safe and useful treatment option for joint pain associated with osteoarthritis.
A 2016 study found that the topical application of CBD had the potential to relieve pain and inflammation associated with arthritis.
A 2014 review of the existing body of research on animals concluded that CBD may be an effective treatment for osteoarthritis.
A 2011 study found that CBD helped reduce inflammatory pain in rats by affecting the way that pain receptors respond to stimuli.
However, to date, there is a lack of scientific evidence to prove conclusively that CBD is an effective arthritis treatment for humans.
A 2006 study found that a cannabis-based mouth spray called Sativex helped relieve arthritis pain. However, the cannabis plant extracts that the company uses to make the spray contain both CBD and THC.

But was not really the same as a marijuana high. If a marijuana high is 2-3 times more intense you can count me out. It sucked.

felt like I was drunk. I didn't like it . I tried it for back pain. I got high but it didn't touch the back pain.

It was not fun like being a bit buzzed. It was like that feeling you have right before you are puke drunk. I didn’t enjoy it.

or even less and micro dose 2 or 3 times a day. I take a 4th about 3 hours before bed every night and it helps with sleep and pain the next day.

That helps.

THC interferes with the brain-pain signal system. CBD reduces inflammation. I don’t know what delta 8 does.
