I made oil with it and use it topically. It seems to eliminate the dull ache of arthritis. I imagine smoking it helps with pain because you are so focused on how stoned you are.
Glad you were able to use the oil to help you with your pain. I get relief from arthritis pain in my knees (bone on bone), with Diclofenac Gel, an over the counter external anti-inflammatory ointment. I'm sure it's cheaper than Marijuana, and I can't stand pain pills. Never used them after four abdominal surgeries because I couldn't stand feeling groggy on and off all day. Why anyone would want to be doped up 24 hours a day is beyond me. I have a high threshold for pain, so I consider myself pretty lucky. My mother always said: No sense, no feeling. 🤣
