As we ingest more and more cannabInoids

5. A high-CBD strain is what keeps my knee pain to a manageable level.

2 hits in an evening, and I am able to be on my feet for 4 or more hours the next afternoon at a volunteer thing I do every week. (Today I did a special event and was on my feet from 2:30 until about 9:30, plus the 10-block walk from he bus. Right now I'm tired, but my knees don't hurt and I can stand up from my chair without having to push myself up.) Pain (inflammation) melts away, and I'm usually good for several days, up to a week. Without it I can barely make it up the 2 flights of stairs.

The first time I tried it, the very next day one of the other people asked what I was doing different, since I made it all the way up the stairs without griping. She had noticed how different my gait was when going up and down the stairs.

The low THC/high CBD strains usually get me 'relaxed' for 20 minutes to ½ hour (not couch-lock stoned - just calm and relaxed), the pain melts away, and I can function normally for the rest of the day without any noticeable effects.
