(15,566 posts)Spouse used pot -laced caramel corn to get off the opioids the pain doctors prescribed for his arthritis and spondylosis. I got ahold of the highest CBD oil infused coconut oil mix, and used an "amish" caramel corn recipe I found on the Internets and used that one-to one instead of the butter in the recipe. 1 cup of popcorn per dose; he started out with four a day (one before bed) and within three months he didn't need it any more.
Making mini-muffins with Krustez lemon bread and brownie mixes are also good alternative. Use the oil instead of the cooking oil they call for, and each muffin will have enough for a good dose.
There's also an infused CBD cream for joint pain, which he still uses occasionally.
BTW, he doesn't need pot for pain management any more. He's on a maintenance level with a biologic that keeps him from getting worse, and he's lost weight with a good pool-based physical therapy routine that also helps. Of course, this will change as time goes on, as the damage is already done to his joints. So long as he has his medicinal card and it remains legal, he's covered when it gets worse.
