   JCC Addiction be damned. I hurt. Take many pain meds with addiction   
   written all over them. I would love to live in a state that has   
   marijuana edibles to control my debilitating pain. I could become   
   addicted to something delicious that improves my pain, and thus enable   
   me to live instead of medicate and veg   
      
   LF - JCC, have you at least vacationed in a state with legal marijuana?   
   IMHO edible THC and/or CBD is definitely worth checking out.   
      
   JCC - LF Have a friend in Colorado that calls me to tease me with the   
   next greatest edible she has tasted. What a meanie. Have not tried   
   anything. First, I wasn't going to jail. I worked for the Attorney   
   General in my State. Would have instantly lost my job. But in   
   retirement, and in this much pain, I might go visit my friend and just   
   take over her guest bedroom! Constant pain is taking away the fun from   
   my life and there most be some middle ground between addiction and jail?   
   There must be a substance in development somewhere that is testing   
   something that will make me happy without rehab or prison as an   
   alternative. Alcohol has too many calories and I need every brain cell   
   that I have left!   
      
   LF - "Life is not supposed to be an endurance contest to see how much   
   pain you can put up with." If you are retired and in constant pain, IMHO   
   try doing something! I am retired (actually LEO), and in Washington   
   state where marijuana is legal, regulated and defined. I will for health   
   reasons not smoke or vape. Edibles are slow to take effect (1 to 1 & 1/2   
   hours) and last a fair time (4 to 6 hours), so take things slow and   
   easy. In Washington one 'dose' is 10 mg THC. When I had shingles (GD   
   little invisible person with pliers on my nipple!) I found 2 to 3 mg THC   
   let me read etc. and I could still felt pain etc., but I was not   
   obsessed with when the next 'pinch' would come! BTW, here a box of 10   
   doses (total 100 mg THC) caramel cost about $30.00. So the cost is cheap   
   to try. Some find CBD very beneficial and there are many products with   
   both CBD & THC. I'll send this now, may try to add more later.
