I've been the same way for years. Taking a hit on pain in a compromise to stay functioning.Have to agree, CBD works. However, a clear thinking Sativa, I've found helps focus. From someone whose constant companion is pain, I lean towards the indicas, but have hybridized a few (auto) strains that has 65% ind/35% sat.....but that's my opinion...not so much the high, but the centering of sativa..
ever take Marinol for pain? Doesn't do much at all.
Couple tokes of Harlequin 8% CBD and I feel so much better it's amazing. I've had 24%THC strains that didn't come anywhere close to that type of effect.
CBD all the way.
Keep it Clean!
