I also am in pain daily. When I was a heroin addict, I o.ded and layed on my right arm for about 7+ hours until someone found me. They called the ambulance, my right arm (I’m right handed) swelled up double the size and my hand and fingers looked like sausages. I had cut the circulation off in my arm. They took the whole bicep and half my forearm muscles. The bicep will never grow back but my forearm did and it’s a monster. I spent 1.5 months in ICU had a h eww art attack while I was in there too. That was when I was 27. I’m 38 now and have 6+ years clean. My addiction started will oxys too. I now have diabetes with neuropathy , that and the nerve damage from the 6 surgeries to remove the muscle in my arm. I’m in pain everyday. I work construction too so that doesn’t help :blush: Your life will be so much better without opiates. Pain is all in the mind my friend. Let the weed open your mind up

I agree with the others. I’m in a similar boat. Multiple surgeries, spinal cord stimulator and all the other attempts to improve it. Best help is a combo of edible and smoke. But nothing makes it go away. Just let’s my mind stop concentrating on it since without it’s always right up front.

Saw a webpage that explained the math in a way I could understand.
1 Gram of weed = 1000mg total

I am in a similar situations. No more opioids and a lot more cannabis. Lots of pain daily, but at least now I can function in society.
Here is the calculator I use for my edibles :

I hope i’m not breaking any rules by posting it. Hope this helps you people!

Yeah bro I was on opiodes for 20 years. Hardest thing to get out of your life. I smoke a good 7 grams or more a day. I usually roll 1.5 g in a raw 1-1/2 and take it down to the face like 5 -6 times a day in average. I don’t mess with vape pens never did. I dab hash rosin a lot but took a dab break a few months ago as it was making me too tired and whacked out I couldn’t remember anything. That crap’s strong.

edit for language

You did just fine. As long as they aren’t selling anything (or obviously offensive lol) put em up!

RSO, FECO, and other ethanol extracts are extremely effective and absolutely NOT a waste of weed! A concentrate is much more potent, per ml, than an infusion. It’s also easier to dose. I can make 6 grams of fully purged rso in less a day.

Please, please, please, please do not say making RSO is a waste, because you are absolutely wrong.

I need to take about 75 mg of CBD sublingually and 200mg of THC edibles to just barely take the edge off my neck and back pain, but it doesn’t help with nerve issues.

I will say, CBD is THE BEST medicine for menstrual cramps, at least for me. Instead of taking 6 Advil four times a day, I take my usual CBD dose.
