Elders: Do You Use Cannabis (Marijuana)? (friend, love, retiring, small)

[Nevada2012]

I'm a weekend smoker.

All for fun.

When I visit legal states, I like to pick up a cookie or a small container of gummies.

Not legal where I live so I don't transport them.

I never used it and when I did "I did not inhale".

I like to try to keep my older brain cells functioning at full capacity while they last. The smell of pot alone makes me want to puke.

I use a THC/CBD cream (started with a CBD-only cream first) for intermittent problems with a bad shoulder and it helps quite a bit. Also helped my non-essential tremor in my right hand. It's cheaper than the voltaren gel my RX won't pay for and it works much faster.

Plus, lol, it has peppermint and eucalyptus and a bunch of other botanicals in it and smells nice.

I've tried pot for fun (mostly in the form of little gummy things, I have no wish to smoke anything) and it just puts me to sleep. Which is good when I get hit by insomnia. I am very cautious with dosage and usually take half - or less - the recommended amount.

A small edible occasionally to help me sleep at night. No problem with the munchies at all.

Is this the Senior or Teenage forum?

Oh HAIL yes. I'm a "both" voter, age 65.

My husband has his Medical Marijuana card and after back surgery used it instead of pain killers. Doc was fine with it and it did help him. He also uses it to ease other aches and pains. I don't use it for anything.
