Not* sure how that's possible because the high is what relieves the pain for me. Not thinking about pain when I'm stoned off my ass.
I'm not sure how you can objectively say the high is what gives pain relief. The two are intrinsically linked for you, and you'd be unable to know if it's one or two chemical processes happening in your body at the same time. It's just impossible to know.
We'd just have to try it and find out, I guess.
Surely couldn't hurt, especially if it doesn't affect your tolerance for THC. Cause I really need to take a tolerance break, but I need pain relief and sleep more.
What about CBD-based sleep aid gummies?
Unfortunately I've been there, done that. I feel nothing from CBD whatsoever. No pain relief, no appetite, no sleep. Feels like eating a snack
Nope, I need my THC, so it'll be interesting to see how this discovery plays out. Maybe I can finally get the relief I need without worrying about needing t-breaks.
Yeah unfortunately I'm the same way. Have tried several CBD things and not one of them do anything for me unless I go max dose, and even then it's an incredibly mild effect. THC takes nearly nothing though, 15mg is enough for a very strong high. I have friends where the complete opposite is true and I would love to trade them.
