That won’t help my sister, then.

She has severe pain and has been on opiates for many years. She tried THC for a little while about 18 months ago and it reduced her pain tremendously. But her state doesn’t even allow medical marijuana. Her pain doctor told her that if her urine test showed THC again, he would no longer be her doctor and she would no longer get the pain relieving drugs she needs. Sux!

The THC will be much better for her and won't leave her hooked on it.

Three reasons she can’t: 1) medical MJ isn’t legal in her state, so every transaction would be subject to possible criminal charges. 2) THC is hella more expensive than her subsidized opioids and she’s on a fixed income, and 3) THC isn’t sufficient to deal with all types of pain, just as opioids don’t help with all types of pain.

Oddly, we both ended up with different chronic medical problems that include chronic pain. I use opioids and THC to control mine, but I live in a state where it’s completely legal and am a bit more financially secure. The opioids don’t work on all my pain, at least not at strengths where I’m still functional and taking a higher dose is scary. THC also doesn’t work for all my pain unless I take enough to be loopy. I’ve found, though, that taking a small dose of opioid and a small dose of THC actually works really well on most of my pain and I can still function almost normally. I also use higher doses of THC to get much better sleep (it works way better than all the prescriptions I’ve been given over the years and has near zero side-effects). Better sleep also reduces the perception of pain.

I was on medical marijuana (MM) for pain. MM was the best pain reliever I ever used. I am no longer on MM because it was costing me about $100 a month for the level of pain reliever I needed. I found another way of dealing with my pain. It does not involve any medications or other substances. I use a set of exercises that alleviates the pain for me.

She can print off the 2018 Farm Bill that legalizes Hemp and bring it to her doctor.
If that does not work, she needs a new doctor!

Better than I expected.

No wonder states are starting to ban it.

Totally legal via 2018 Farm Bill legalizing Hemp.

I guess there is a Delta 10 as well. I will work my way up.

Delta-8 has very long lasting effects. I could still feel it 12 hours later.
Plus, the effect is delayed by 1 1/2 hours and builds from there. So be careful not to keep dosing, you will regret it!

For me, it is a nice alternative to alcohol when I want to relax and feel good.
