      Maybe a better balance with CBD? Try mixing different strains together, sometimes the properties work together better than any single strain. Unfortunately this is going to vary depending on your local grows, what options you have available, and your particular type of pain. I know what helps me sleep at night is vastly different from what my wife uses for daily pain.

      Also it does help to take a day off now and then to let your system purge so you don’t completely insensitive to the benefits. Definitely a hard day to get through, but it makes a difference.

        Agreed.

        I keep my tolerance (and intake) low. I don’t care about getting high, I just need to sleep better. I occasionally have some when it’s not right before bed if I’m having a bad day re mental health but keep that a very, very low levels. I liken it to having a single beer.

        When you do this, you get the health benefits (physical and mental) without negative effects, or at least that is how it works for me.

          I used to think that until I tried going without my prescribed cbd oil and I definitely noticed that I was a bit more anxious and had more unwanted side effects from the flower that I’m also prescribed!

      Yeah weed doesn’t help with pain whatsoever for me. Kratom does though. And that also helps with sleep. A nice tall glass of kratom powder mixed with water right before bed is great
