Cannabis for osteoarthritis pain [View all]

So my joints are a mess. Spinal fusions, total knee, ankle arthritis, I need a new hip. I was a power lifter who came close, but never quite turned pro. I also played football and karate for decades.

I hurt every day. I take Celebrex but it’s not enough. Marijuana is not legal in my state, but Delta 8 is. I ordered 60 gummies at 25 mg. I had never used cannabis before. I had heard they would relieve pain but not get you high.

Well, they were wrong. That shit had my head swirling for four hours. I felt like I was really drunk. No way I could function like that. So how do I take this stuff for relief without having the room spin?
