hello everyone,
i was looking for some advice on any person who has experience with edibles for pain.
just some background info... i am 44 and weigh about 155 pounds. i am not a smoker and maybe have tried to smoke 2-3 times in my life and i think i was unsuccessful as i am a poor inhaler. i have had about a 1/4 of an edible cookie once which kinda got me out of it...and dry mouth but i have to admit it was a positive experience.
anyhow i hurt my sciatic nerve this past summer and it got really bad during veterans day weekend. i could barely walk without a lot of pain.
anti inflammatorys do not help at all. and i absolutely will not take any pain killers. so i bought some edibles this past Thanksgiving holiday. the are gummy rings made by Face Plant. 50 mg each. it was recommended that since i was new i should cut each ring into 1/4. so i took a 1/4 and had no effect. so then i just consumed the other 3/4. still no effect. but this past Saturday i took 2 rings. and it was not good. i just got disorientated and really a lot of anxiety....millions of thoughts going through my head a second. and i don't even recall if it helped my back. so my questions are:
1) is there a recommended amount of mg of edibles one should take to start off...do you have to build up to a point...does it matter if you are a new user?
2) is there a difference in types of edible products for effect...are cookies and brownies perhaps better than candy?
3) how long does it typically take for an edible to begin to help with pain?
4) anyone with nerve or back pain does it even make an impact?
5) did i just choose a wrong product? anyone have experience with Face Plant products.
I appreciate everyone's help and any insight. Thank you.
