Pain medication

[Beeman]

So my wife has arthritis issues in her shoulder and knees, right now she takes a granddaddy purple tincture (homemade of course) and it helps a lot! The issue is she really can’t take it daily cause of her job as an accountant she needs a clear head so my question is need a recommendation for a good Cbd strain or 1:1 strain that she could take regularly. I found one on naca website Cbd Candyland that a cross between GDPx Platinum Cookie. I was thinking since gdp is what helps that this strain may too since it has some gdp and cbd. Any thoughts or other strains that may help would greatly be appreciated.

Royal Queen Seeds has a 1:1 strain called Royal Medic i grew outdoor last year just for my back pain and tendon problems in my hand. It seems to help pain better than the high thc strains. Grew well outdoors here in Virginia. Will probably grow again this year.

Charlot's Angel CBD. Make a tincture just from that. If needed some GDP tincture can be mixed with it.

Has she ever tried a topical? They are very easy to make, have no psycho active effects really work for some people. I use it a lot.

Try some off the shelf stuff w/ Cbd but she said it was just ok. That is something I’d like to make when I figure out which strain to go for.

Make your salve out of THC weed. You will never achieve sufficient concentration of CBD on your own. THC salve is far superior to any over the counter topical.

That makes sense — it’s tough to balance pain relief with staying sharp for work.

A 1:1 or high-CBD strain is definitely the right direction. CBD Candyland could be worth trying since she responds well to GDP genetics, but the added CBD may reduce the head high.

You might also look into strains like Harlequin, ACDC, or Cannatonic — they’re known for pain relief with minimal psychoactive effects.

Also, paying attention to terpenes like caryophyllene and myrcene can help with inflammation. Starting low and adjusting slowly is usually the safest approach.

Hope she finds something that works comfortably for daily use.
