Cannabis Gummies for pain

I finally went into a very nice legal upscale cannabis dispensary to possibly get some CBD edibles that might help with my back and shoulder pain that gets bad at night while I'm trying to sleep. After talking to the sales person about what might help me, I ended up getting a bag of some CBD with THC (50/50) gummies. I have used them for 3 nights now, dissolving half a gummy in my mouth (they are similar to "Gummy Bears" candy) about an hour before bedtime. After an hour or so my pains were pretty much gone or just barely noticeable. The only drawback is that because of the THC, I get hungry for something when I wake up to use the bathroom. So off to the kitchen at 3:00 am to look for a bite of something. It does increase your appetite. And it is rather expensive. $20 for 10 gummies, but I cut them in half, so it's like $1.00 each.
 

We use 500mg CBD Deep Rub on fingers and my shoulders. It helps, but doesn't last very long. Tried a 10mg CBD Shoulder Patch, but not enough mg in it to help. I also have a VA prescription for 50mg Tramadol to be taken once a day. a few days a week. The Tramadol definitely takes away the pain in my shoulder, but only last for around 6 hours. Then have to take a 800mg ibuprofen, also VA prescription.
 
Salon Pas Patches are another alternative for pain, my doc uses it herself and recommended it to me when I was recovering from shoulder injury.

Cheap at Costco, they smell nice, and they do work. There is also an instant spray but the patches last for about 8 hours.

My parents used these patches for aches and pains, from waaaay back in the 60's. They work.
 
I will have to check out if Costco in Adelaide has the patches for my hubs as he’s had his spine below the waist fused ,he gets allot of pain in the winter
do you know if they have another name ,can’t find them online under the name Lee mentioned @Pinky.
When we go up ,the Gold Coast each winter we get patches from a Chinese clinic

Hi Kadee. It was Lee who posted about the Salonpas patches. They're a Japanese product. I don't know if your Chinese clinic would have them, but you could always ask.

Here are some user reviews:

You may be able to order them online.

Sorry for going OT ..

What are you planning to do to make the gummies healthier Keesha?
Thinking it might be good to have on hand when out and about.

Regular gummies contain corn syrup, mineral oil and artificial colour & flavour . Cannabis tincture is used.

Since I make my own cannabis oil using coconut oil , I’m going to use that instead and use natural gelatin instead of commercial jello. For sweetening I will use an alternative all natural sweetener. I’m not sure which one but I found a few great recipes online. Some use juice or fruit purée. I’ve just got to get out and purchase the moulds plus get my kitchen put back together. 😬

Thank you, I think I will do some digging myself. First another batch with less oil.
What did you do to your kitchen??🙂

It’s gutted. We are doing a complete renovation. Today we picked up our first bottom cabinets. The large corner one with an inside ‘turny Thing’, a set of drawers and the under the sink cupboard with a pull out drawer for garbage and compost bins for organizing purposes similar to the new one @Ronni has.

In other words, I currently have no kitchen and haven’t since just before Christmas. We put in a subfloor and laid the porcelain tiles.

It’s been painted since this picture and tomorrow we will install the three cabinets. I guess that’s why I’ve been stalling on making these but hopefully we will get our plumbing back tomorrow.🙏

Well I can see you have good reason to take your time...lol
Getting the plumbing for the house or for the kitchen...??

We have plumbing in the rest of the house. My husband found a way to shut the kitchen plumbing off only. Having the entire water shut off for two whole months wouldn’t be good. Years ago we had a problem with our well and went without water for 6 months. We couldn’t get anyone out where we live during the snowy winter months. Now THAT was rough.

Getting back on topic though, I’m determined to experiment making gummy bears. If I knew how to do this when I was younger I would have thrown a gummy bear party. 🥳
 
I am in the same boat you are, have learned to take care of many things on my own when the snow is on the ground. Nice to save some money, unless it is -20 or -30.
Have been thinking about something for when I am out and about, certain days a little relief would be nice. I do like the coconut oil in a solid
state at room temperature. Cooked up some eggs this morning with some...you don't use a lot of it....lol
 
Hi I've been taking 2 Karas gummy balls at night for my very very bad shoulder and arm pain for about a month now but not the slightest bit of relief
so I tried to send back the unopened bottles but I have tried and tried having searched the internet and yet no sign of an address or phone number !
It was very easy for them to take my money but impossible to contact themHas anyone else had the same problem?????

By the way, we DID refinish our kitchen. Then we moved. We would have replaced the white oven with a silver one otherwise.
Coconut oil is great at room temperature but anything above that , it melts so if you make canna oil you are best either freezing it or leaving it in the fridge.

Our friends love the gummy bears and grow their own buds. Cannabis is excellent for pain relief.
I am really liking it here. 😎

It's not legal here in my State. Since I have stage 3 CKD, My kidney Dr. told me to STOP using ibuprofen, Naproxin Etc. It kills your kidneys & also your liver. So now the only thing I can take for pain is two 650 mg Tylenol every 6 hrs. Any more than 3,000 units will also kill your kidneys.
