I use it to sleep and occasionally recreationally. Didn't have success with pain relief from THC. I did however get pain relief pretty quickly using Psilocybin
in very recent times a new series of hemp derived cannabinoids , in gummy form, have emerged and, locally at least, are more popular than marijuana. They are the delta-8 cannabinoids available ( some more popular ones ) as Delta-8, ThcV, delta-9, HHC cannabinoids, and several combos such as : delta-8+delta-9+thcV, and others.
Hemp derivative cannabinoids are legal federally ( so mail order Ok ), and legal in most states at this time. Check locally before buying. They are usually purchased from neighborhood CBD stores and by mail. They are a little less expensive via mail.
Delta-8 is more powerful than marijuana or the same as… a 25 mg delta-8 gummy = to a common 1 gm spiff. Delta-8 gummies are WAY less expensive than marijuana. Delta derivatives can be / are very powerful and will stone you heavily. That being the case , quarter or half gummy micro dose are best for low level medication without being stoned to the bone. Everyone I know that eats these ( about 11 people that eat them voraciously) , including myself and my wife, agree that the HHC gummies and delta-8 gummies actually do provide a hefty level of pain mgt. ( hhc better with less stoned but are so popular , they are had to get ) it doesn’t block the pain so you don’t feel it, it kinda puts up a transparent pain blocking wall , and tho you know the pain is present, it doesn’t hurt you. It’s amazing in that respect.
It’s claimed by many that microdosing delta-8 or thcV several times a day is “ way better “ than Xanax without being heavily stoned. Imho , it’s excellent for that, especially thcV.
When the pain blocking is effect is working its best , you have a hefty “ stone “ happening at the same time.
Side effects: Locally, we call Delta-8 gummies, especially in half a gummie, we call the “ laugh factory “ describing the ( near hysterical, sometimes ) laughter it produces. Laughing too hard, for too long, isn’t necessarily a good thing. Eating the 50mg size delta-8s gummies , whole ( instead of halves or quarters) is NOT recommended for beginners . Pink Floyd “ the wall “ recommended if you do .
It’s legal, doesn’t cost all that much and is easily available for most in the USA.
Disclaimer: all this imho, and imho of my friends, as always , talk over eating delta-8 gummies with your medical care team, same as you would with marijuana use.
You can Google all those cannabinoids: hhc, thcV delta-8 etc.
I’ve used THC and CBD gummies for managing pain before and found them helpful. I mostly used a blended product and started with a low dose, like 5-10 mg of THC and 10-20 mg of CBD per gummy. I took one or two gummies a few times a day, depending on how the pain was feeling. For me, they worked well alongside my other pain management options. I also tried a exhalewell.com/thc-vapes/ to see how it compared, and it offered some relief too. Side effects were minimal for me—just a bit of drowsiness at times. It’s a good idea to start slow and see how your body reacts.
