Nah, that's why the doc won't prescribe anything similar to it.

And yeah, I finally tried some CBD oil. It helps, but the price is such that it can't be an every day thing.

I was hesitant because I have bad reactions to proper marijuana, be it edibles or smoked. But CBD does work (and not just for the pain/stiffness) without side effects I can detect.

I don't need to look it up, my doctor refuses to prescribe them to me because of it. Did I fuck up somehow in my response? I am dyslexic, so I do sometimes.

No, the doctor is against it.

Ah ok, I misread you then, sorry I can see how my reply came off a bit harsh, that wasn't my intention!
