Best Recreational Cannabis Strains for Treating Pain Associated with RA

in cannabis •  7 years ago  (edited)

Its hard living with rheumatoid arthritis. Daily I struggle with severe pain and stiffness that makes movement very difficult. For the past year I've been treating pain with recreational cannabis. It's been a process with a lot of trial and error but I'd like to share with you what I've found to work best for treating these symptoms.

Edibles:
My favorite edibles I've found for treating pain are produced by WYLD. These are the raspberry flavored gummies enhanced with sativa.
() When taken in full they produce a full high with intense body energization. I find that by splitting them in half I get a good dulling of pain, added flexibility and a mood and alertness enhancement. I've also tried the marionberry flavor they sell but didn't find it to be as effective. The raspberry flavor only contains THC. The marionberry flavor has a blend of THC and CBD and the strawberry flavor is pure CBD with no THC meaning that no high will be experienced by the consumer. I haven't had much luck using pure CBD to treat pain so it doesn't work for me. I recommend experimenting as no two bodies are the same.

Oil:
Sky High THC Tincture
()
This oil is a great addition to a morning coffee to get your day going. It takes from 30 mins to 2 hours to kick in so when first trying it be cautious. It's another great body high producer and pain reliever. Very strong and lasts a good couple hours.

Flowers:
Gorilla Glue #4:
This cannabis strain is a hybrid of Indica dominant cannabis that contains a high THC content. Effects are immediate when smoked. Provides good body high that lasts awhile.

Dutch Herer:
This cannabis strain is another Indica dominant hybrid with high THC content. It is energizing and provides immediate body high. It pairs well with creative projects and getting things done. The scent is reminiscent of fruit and pine.

These have been the best products I've found so far available for recreational sale in Portland Oregon to treat the intense pain I experience because of rheumatoid arthritis. Stay strong RA warriors!
