Cannabis is so much more than just THC and CBD. There's hundreds of different compounds- terpenes and flavonoids alone completely change how one strain or sample affects an individual. It's honestly a travesty that it's been demonized and locked away from real research.
For decades I've managed so many aspects of my health through very intentional dosing. I know the dominant terpene profiles I have the most success with along with the different THC:CBD ratios. Unfortunately, I had to give up something that worked perfectly for me as I have no income and insurance obviously won't cover cannabis. It's so demoralizing being back on prescribed drugs that not only don't feel good or work as well with my mind and body, but can literally kill me if I take too much or stop incorrectly.
