I know this thread was a while back, but I use cannabis now and then (usually down to supply) for inflammation pain, improving fatigue and use a 1:1 CDB to THC ratio so it's more relaxing to help sleep. Vaporising is easy these days, so you don't have to roll a joint with tobacco. I met someone with CFS who started using for day to day pain relief. Only problem was when I can't get any and always went back to the maximum amount of Tramadols I could take.

Anyways, there is a lot of info. coming out now with regard to the effects on cannabis and blood glucose regulation and the improvement in metabolising carbs.

I might put a bit of Cinnamon in the pot next time........
 
Higher CBD level plants are available and there is a UK based company that is "breeding" strains of the plant containing less and less THC (Tetrahydrocannabinol, the principal psychoactive constituent of cannabis) and more CBD (cannabidiol, the pain killer for want of a better word as it has lots of other uses). It would help me out a lot at the moment because the amount of cocodomol or Tramadol I take is not good.

HID used to deal with the company breeding new strains but we're out of touch with the state of play these days. I know she was never told where the greenhouses were, even though she had worked with the CEO 40 years ago when she was just a lab assistant.
