I hope this is okay to post here. Long story short, I have extreme, intractable chronic pain 24/7. I use medical cannabis vapes on occasion to help me deal with it, but I’m not able to get it right now.

I’m seeing all these websites that talk about delta 9 as if it gives the same effect as regular thc products.

For example, a cookie that says it has 100 MG per cookie, and you’re supposed to divide it into doses.

Anyways, is this stuff legit, or is it like CBD which in my experience had no effects on me? I’m in a great deal of pain, and just considering my options, but I can’t afford to spend money on anything if it doesn’t actually help. If anyone could advise me on this I’d be very thankful.

Edit: thanks everyone for the input. I decided to get a vape, and it’s helping a great deal. I’m glad that I asked here.

    Delta 9 is just THC. Cannabidiol is just CBD. Delta 8 and Delta 10 are the strange ones made from CBD which get you high but less so than delta 9. Sounds like a THC cookie to me and would probably have an effect. Interesting that CBD didn’t work for you, but the Cannabidiol vapes did as those should in theory be the same ingredient.

      I’m probably using the wrong word. The medical ones here have “thc from full spectrum oil and terpene”, and I think there’s a little cbd in there as well. They aren’t super strong, but it’s definitely thc. They’re from Batch Extracts.

        Some people just don’t metabolize edibles. I don’t know the scientific explanation but it seems to be the case. I am a lightweight when it comes to edibles but you’ll definitely hear people saying they took 10x what I would consider and felt very little effect.
