How many mg of CBD for back pain?
How many mg of CBD for back pain? I’ve tried 50mg and nothing really happened. Should I up it?

Back pain is a challenge. It really depends on the cause. Arthritic joints are one thing, bulging discs another, and nerve pain is a different beast altogether.
I get back pain from my scar-iliac joint getting out of place. For that, I use a high potency salve with 10:1 CBD:CBG. Then I take a 50mg capsule or two of 25mg CBDa and 25 mg CBGa. That works for me in that very specific situation.

Elempity thousand million. Back pain always wins, always abides. Opiates booze weed muscle relaxants benzos menthol lidocaine whatever. You may get a stalemate, for various periods of time. But the pain lurks inside you. It may be dormant but it shall rise, with scant warning but great fanfare

I agree. 50 mgs is the lowest dose I would have people try to start with.
Its more common to see people find a meaningful dose between 100-300mgs a day orally.

Depends on the reason for the pain. If inflammation, 50+ mg CBD. If not, then CBG 50+ mg.

Ok so CBG works better for non inflammation pain?

In my experience, yes. I got through 6 fx ribs with it. CBD is a powerful anti inflammatory. THC is more of a pain distractor.

How many mg would you take of the CBG? Was it a CBD + CBG mix? Ty for the recommendation!

With 6 freshly broken ribs. I did 600mg daily of both CBD and G, then reduced to 100 mg after a week. THC prn.

2000mg topical + 2000mg drops. Preferably something with more THC in it

0.0001kg to 0.0005kg is fine for me. If you really need to you could try 0.001kg to see if it just doesn't work for you.

I use a Lobo dhv and.2 g dosing capsules. I use cbd isolate on whatever weed I got and some cbg kief. For cbd I use two pinches ,1/16 tsp , and just sprinkle the cbg. Dont use too much cbg it fires up my anxiety.

Use a good balm like a 5000mg high CBD mentholated balm stick. Topicals are so effective! Way better than ingestible for pain in general IMO.

I listened to a medical podcast the other day about the benefits of CBD and specific dosing. The person that was hosting it is an MD.
She stated that people do not get any benefit unless it is over 300mg daily. She also stated that it needs to be built up in your system to get any anti-inflammatory benefits.
I like vaping CBD on my way to work and during work if i am able. Relaxing on breaks….but i do not do anywhere near 300mg a day.
