I took me 15 years of pain from TN both sides to finally cave to family and friend recommendations to try THC. I was a cop and this was a real hard mental leap but I tried it. Most people use 10mg edible forms to get high. I started by buying a 10mg edible such as a starburst type infused candy,. I chopped it into 4 pieces since I did not intend to get high. I actually worked moderately well without feeling stoned.
Over time you build a tolerance and the dosage amount needed will increase so every couple weeks I would cut off or drop way down for a day or two. THC has a 1/2 life over several days long so it won’t be like going cold turkey off a med. I pick it back up at a lower amount and cycle through again. In my case it helps and it’s low profile and depending on its form of edible you can control the dosage amount and not trying to adjust smoking it which is no good for the lungs and you don’t end up smelling like a skunk.
