Ever since entering my fifties, I’ve suffered from mild arthritis in my fingers. I notice a slight stiffness and swelling in my joints when the weather is especially sizzling and humid or brutally cold. My symptoms are not severe enough to require a doctor’s visit. I am unwilling to waste the time and money of a doctor’s appointment when there’s no way I would ever take the prescribed medication. I’ve read up on arthritis medicine. The long-term side-effects are downright scary. Fortunately, I’m able to treat arthritis flare-ups with cannabis. As a plant-based remedy, cannabis-infused medication has no lasting disadvantages. I’ve noticed dry mouth and an increase in appetite when taking particular strains of cannabis. I shop at the dispensary for products with a balanced ratio of CBD to THC. I look for occasions that also contain CBN or CBG. All of these cannabinoids have shown promise in alleviating pain, inflammation and stiffness. The dispensary offers a attractive assortment of smokable flower, pre-rolls, vapes, tinctures, topicals, concentrates, edibles, beverages and extracts. I always make sure to purchase some type of topical. Applying a cannabis-infused ointment directly to my fingers provides a quick onset of relief. The pain lessens and I adore a better range of emotion. Because topicals don’t cause any psychoactive sensations, I can apply them several times per morning. I’ve also had fantastic advantage with both tinctures and edibles. The tinctures are especially simple to consume and allow precision dosing. I simply locale a few drops under my tongue, wait a minute for the cannabinoids to be absorbed and then swallow any remaining liquid. With edibles, the effects can take numerous hours to be realized but they are intense and long-lasting.
