Grow Ohio Honey for all day all purpose relief and combine with some 1:1 THC-CBC Gummies. Botanist and a few other companies make them with cbc. It can really help with inflammation and pain relief when combined with a strong thc component I found. Also rso is another great option as you can eat it or just put a bit in a pill and swallow. Strong full spectrum long lasting relief.
Gotta co-sign the honey! I bought the Grow Ohio honey after trying Hon and Buckeye Relief— all are awesome imo. Hon brand is good as a lower dose I think and they have really cool flavors as well like cinnamon and lemon skunkberry. If he’s not into sweets you might also want to try their ghee or olive oil.
If you’re doing edible route, start low and go slow. Something including CBD for pain/inflammation + reduced psychoactivity if possible. Something that kicks in quicker - like a gummy or chocolate - would be preferable to a capsule, while they learn their dosage.
I'm 39 and new to the program as of December and ended up being blitzed out of my mind each night off like .05 g of flower of practically any THC %. Then one day, I magically had a little bit of a tolerance. Now, I can functionally medicate throughout the day. I'm actually a lot more productive with increased focus and energy than I was prior to joining the program. I feel like I was looking for back pain relief and while I was at it, I cured undiagnosed ADD or something. The power of sativa.
Seeking pain relief & unable to vape you say ? In that case I'd agree w/the majority of the other respondents in that RSO or F.E.C.O. is your best bet, financially as well. Definitely a product which contains a high amount of the terpene called Myrcene, ideally the lead terpene in a given profile if possible.
Rso, tincture, capsules. I have a broken 5th lumbar and a wedged 4th, alone with a non union in my elbow I fight with pain 24/7. Tincture great day time easy to accurately dose and be be functional. Rso when I get home, and grow Ohio makes a great 20mg capsule I. Take before bed that has helped me get some decent sleep.
I am halfway through my Masters in Medical Cannabis Science and Therapeutics through the University of Maryland. We have studied nearly every terpenes, many strains and delivery methods.
Start with a low dose RSO pill if he’s able to swallow. Can be given whole in apple sauce if there is dysphagia (swallowing difficulty). Formulas high in CBD, CBN, CBG are going to be most medically beneficial for pain. Also, give with something that has lipids, fats, to break down cannabinoids properly
Id go with grow ohio infusion powder it comes in 660mg and 440mg jars I think but you can really control ur dose so as not to over do it. The honey is another good one also tinctures 1:1 is good I don't know about the topicals but they could be worth a shot.
This is for my father as well. It really took a lot for him to even make the decision to go this route. But he is an avid outdoors guy and hasn’t been able to do anything lately and he is desperate. I am really hoping this will give him back at least a little bit of life
As far as strains I’ve found Rollins to be the most relaxing. No worse way to start than getting a strain that causes major anxiety and this one won’t!
Have you had personal experience with the rubs? I really think something like that would be a good option for him but they are rather expensive if they work no better than bengay or something
I use RSO for back pain from a car accident I had. Like some one said I’ve also heard good things about honey. Buddy dad use gummie because he has lost a leg. Good luck… and Tell him Welcome Home…….!!!!!!
The dispensaries typical give an additional discount for vets and some places will let you stack sales with discounts. Just something to keep in mind if looking to try to save some money. Big savings if you can plan it with a good sale day
I would try edibles first any of the drinks kick in relatively quickly but personally edibles dont do it for me there are also thc capsules that may he;p with pain i think you have to manage your expectations marajuana may help him deal with the pain mentally and allieviate it to some extent but hip pain is severe and there may not be a perfect product available. Try getting him to smoke a joint of a nice indica maybe around the 20 percent range that would for sure be his best bet.
It’s definitely osteoarthritis, and if I could get him to actually sit for a bit that would be great, and I may try it for myself as my hip pain is so bad I haven’t been able to sit long enough to watch a full TV show in over a year
I know everyone has recommended edibles/rso but if you find yourself wanting something different but not as harsh as smoking you could try vaping. It still might be harsh on your lungs though so edibles/rso might be the best option.
edible or tincture probably
Edible or tincture prob start with a 1:1 and high CBG

That honey i hear is awesome. RSO is always a good choice, but make sure to start small.
GrowOhio honey is the BEST bang for your buck with edibles. It's very potent (made me green out and I'm a VERY experienced edible user).

Whatever it is, I would start with a low dosage after that long.
RSO
maybe look at trying RSO?
Agree, RSO would be where I would look.
RSO is king

Get him some of the 5mg Kiva gummies to get him acclimated. Taste really good, you get 20 gummies in small doses to allow him to adjust.
This! Telling him RSO…come on, that’s of the deep end I think

Rick Simpson Oil. 👈🏾 That is all.
I like to get EPBC smalls and make small batch coconut oil. Then put it in my coffee in the morning for about all day relief
RSO and edibles or drinks if he has a hard time chewing and stuff. Also like others are saying 1:1 thc cbd to start or just start with low doses.
Edible/Rso
Rso capsules
Tincture
The Botanist RSO syringe. I've had about 15 syringes and all have been great.
Grow Ohio makes a water soluble Infusion Powder that you can mix with drinks or food. Works well, has a quicker onset than edibles.

RSO
Some RSO or THC capsules work well. Gummies, tincture and maybe even try a THC pain patch??

RSO size of a grain of rice to start..then mix it with certains foods and sauces that he likes
Capsule
RSO capsules. Seriously, look into them. Nothing thc is better pain wise.
CBD+cbg together. Maybe add in some delta 8 if that's not enough. If he sti needs more I'd try full spectrum d9 edibles.
RSO
Id go with grow ohio infusion powder it comes in 660mg and 440mg jars I think but you can really control ur dose so as not to over do it. The honey is another good one also tinctures 1:1 is good I don't know about the topicals but they could be worth a shot.
Tinctures and RSO!! Especially RSO for pain.
Another option available is R.S.O. capsules, if the syringe is a 'lil intimidating.
RSO
My father is your age, I make him capsules for the same reason. He typically prefers to take a night so he can sleep
This is for my father as well. It really took a lot for him to even make the decision to go this route. But he is an avid outdoors guy and hasn’t been able to do anything lately and he is desperate. I am really hoping this will give him back at least a little bit of life

Thank you everyone for the suggestions! I really appreciate it!
Edible, with a 2x1 CDB to THC ratio.
Does he want to smoke flower? I think at this point he can do whatever he wants!
Rso, i have hip and back pain and rso and tinctures are the only forms that really help it.
MUV/Main street health has a good transdermal lotion
Maui Wowwie
Ice Cream Cake Klutch
Transdermal patches or rub from muv would be a good place to start
Have you had personal experience with the rubs? I really think something like that would be a good option for him but they are rather expensive if they work no better than bengay or something
Animal Mints
Rso or flower
ICE CREAM CAKE FLOWER FROM KLUTCH IS GREAT FOR PAIN/PTSD/SLEEP
GrowOhio Butterfly effect tincture 1:1
Are you looking for consumables (edibles, tinctures, etc) or flower?
Consumable
If you want flower, ac/dc is a great high CBD strain. Very good for pain and won't make you stoned off yer ass.
Rso
I use RSO for back pain from a car accident I had. Like some one said I’ve also heard good things about honey. Buddy dad use gummie because he has lost a leg. Good luck… and Tell him Welcome Home…….!!!!!!

Buckeye relief honey or the Dissolve powder works well too!

I really like the overall effects of the botanist rso for the price…. Go lightly on it, it’s pretty strong…
edibles but start slow
What’s causing the hip pain? Is it definitely osteoporosis or similar?
It’s definitely osteoarthritis, and if I could get him to actually sit for a bit that would be great, and I may try it for myself as my hip pain is so bad I haven’t been able to sit long enough to watch a full TV show in over a year
Lemon Dosidios flower by buckeye relief. It will take away all your pains
“Cannot vape” come on bro. 🙄
Layer cake
If you haven't smoked in 50 years can you imagine how fried you'd be if you blew a J of layer cake?
I know everyone has recommended edibles/rso but if you find yourself wanting something different but not as harsh as smoking you could try vaping. It still might be harsh on your lungs though so edibles/rso might be the best option.
