    The CP patient I know does some of everything. Experiment? Vaping is usually better first thing in the morning because it kicks in quicker, eatables are better when you need long term coverage....:)
    Experiment.:confused:

    Vape, or tincture (I would recommend glycerin tincture- no "burn" in your mouth) and edibles can be tricky until you figure out your dosage. My hubby has neuropathic pain and gets much better relief from tincture and edibles than vaping.


    Not much out there on CP. :(
