6. Prior to having a hip replacement,

I used 100% Indica or Indica dominate hybrids for acute pain in my hip and back. For the last couple of months before the operation, I had to use a walker or cane because of the pain. Indica edibles helped more than I can say and allowed me to sleep instead of the pain waking me every time I moved. I still use edibles from time to time because I like the feeling of total relaxation they provide.

It has been my experience that the people who work in the dispensaries are very knowledgeable about their products and know best what to suggest for various ailments. Perhaps you could make a request for someone to talk with you before your daughter goes in by herself.

What state do you live in (if you don't mind my asking)?
