I just got a medical marijuana card for my lyme related pain. I'm hoping it will help my arthritis/tendonitis pain since nothing else has helped. Does anyone know what I should purchase?

From what I've read I need cannabis oil. Should I get CBD or THC? I've read conflicting reports. I'll probably try both but I wanted to know if anyone had any experience or success with this.

Thanks!

CBD oil will not get you high. THC will.

That is the end of my experience with it. Depends on if you want an altered state of mind or not. And the munchies? LOL

lol I understand that much. I want to use whichever one helps me more. I just want to know if one is more effective against lyme and arthritis/joint issues.

I tried the THC once for my osteoarthritis and got too paranoid. Not for me. My heart was just a racing. You would have thought I was a teenager doing something wrong. I have not tried the CBD oil. Maybe it has the benefits and not the fear???

I have been taking CBD oil for about three (maybe four) weeks now.
I am taking 1/2 grain of rice size twice daily. So far, not noticing much, if anything.

I think it would help more with pain if I was to 'up' the dose...which I may do eventually.

i was hoping for some activity against the infection, not just symptom relief.

You could try the CBD oil and take a higher dose...as I read it is good for pain - before trying the medical marijuana.
Also, when I phoned the company...they were happy to answer my questions...maybe give them a call...and ask?
