CBD

I've taken 2 gummies since 7am. I've been pain free since Saturday at 4pm. I'm expecting a few other CBD/CBG gummies and some tincture next week. I'm gonna try different brands and see which works best. But so far I'm impressed.

So the meds kinda work sometimes which absolutely sucks. And the CBD cream I have takes the edge off the pain but a 6 is still a 6. I remember from about 14 years ago I tried THC gummies and they knocked me on my ass. Then I tried CBD gummies and I was taking them because of severe insomnia. I slept sooooooo good with those goofy peach rings. So I figured I'd try to find a gummy for stress and anxiety relief. I found a company that has a "free jar, just pay shipping" and they retail for 70 bucks! I ordered a jar about 5 days ago so there's quick turnaround.
Guess what arrived today!!!
I was so excited. i opened the box and took out the gummies. I opened the jar and sniffed but it was... Chemically. I knew these wouldn't taste good but they smelled like serious business. So at 330pm I ate 2 gummies. An hour later my mind was calm.
2 hours later I noticed that I didn't have any pain.
Wait... What?!?! How the what the what???
Yeah. No migraine. Back felt great. Hips were a little stiff but they didn't hurt at all. And I had gotten sick 4x this morning right before I got them... And after eating the gummies, my tummy felt wonderful. I have chronic GI disease and I'm usually complaining about my tummy hurting.
I told Pauley about how good I feel and she was shocked. The pain started coming back about an hour ago. So 330pm till 10pm. That's definitely a change of pace. I just took half of a gummy to help me rest better. I'm curious about what kind of dreams I'll have tonight.

This is a topic I think a lot about because I find it’s a common recommendation that non-disabled people like to doll out, especially to individuals (like myself) living with chronic pain and/or anxiety. I’ve experienced no relief with CBD and mixed results with THC (it’s legal where I live and you don’t need a medical marijuana card) — so much of it depends on dosage, strain, and whether or not you’re consuming or applying something that’s actually been federally regulated.
