I've tried thc gummies but actually prefer to smoke weed. I use to as a teenager close to 40 years ago and stopped for many years this past year I started again to help with pain relief for my knee replacement. The stuff out there now is no joke compared to what it was like back then it's become a science. I will say how it has helped with pain is incredible the hard part was learning the amount to use and strains. I was lucky to have help from a very educated person. I found I have more control with smoking than edibles. Edibles slowly release and it's easy to go overboard because you don't feel anything right away smoking 1 puff wait a couple minutes and you know where you are at. the tricky part is getting the right strain and potency.
