Today I saw an 82yo woman for her initial visit hoping to get relief from back pain that makes it hard for her to walk and unable to enjoy all the great activities in the senior community where she lives. Very intelligent and had done a lot of research. She's taking morphine and Tylenol with little relief. She was adamant about wanting to avoid THC! It's amazing how much fear remains.

So I'm starting her out on CBDA... good chance it'll help (like the Advil used to before it gave her an ulcer) but I suspect she'll eventually come around to the THC. When appropriately dosed it can be such a godsend for our elders. Too bad so many of them have been brainwashed to fear it more than morphine!
