i think a 2 to 1 thc cbd would be better for your chronic pain ?
what i know is thc gets you high but thca doesnt ?
"Though THCA doesn’t have intoxicating effects, some consider fresh, raw, unheated cannabis a superfood. You may have heard of juicing cannabis or adding raw cannabis to smoothies for health enhancement. There’s a good reason for that.
Much like avocados, kale, Greek yogurt, green tea, and garlic, raw cannabis has the potential to ease arthritis, chronic pain, fibromyalgia, and other ailments."
i found this online so maybe the info you got is them telling you to eat it instead of smoke it ?
