Has anyone knowledge about the effects of making a cdb laden joint with a crushed aspirin, then smoke it? Was told it was good at alleviating the pain of arthritis.

@Zellmet , @xtsho , @Star Dog . Thanks all, my thoughts as well as I was being told about this.
When my arthritis pain spikes I'll cut a regular, uncoated aspirin in half crunch it a bit and tuck it under my tongue for 5 min so the medicine absorbs into my bloodstream and relief is fast without the inherent stomach bleeding aspirin can cause. I'm very sensitive to arthritis meds of all kinds so can't take them. A good dose of CBD cocobudder before bed is the best for me tho. Wake up with way less pain in the morning which is the worst for me and dulls the ache all day long. Doc figures I have fibro along with the arthritis. Over all it's tolerable most times as long as I'm taking the CBD. Had rheumatic fever around age 13 and was told to expect joint problems when I got older. Doc was right and the joint pain started when I was in my early 20s. 67 now and not doing horribly as long as I got my pot!

:peace:

Had rheumatic fever twice and Scarlet Fever once as well. Was under quarantine with red card on the front door. Fingers are crooked and flare ups move around. Shoulders, wrists etc. Sucks, 70 here.

Same here with the pains moving around. Started about age 24 in my rt hip for about a year then went away only to start in the left hip a couple years later for a year or two. Few years ago it was in my shoulders especially the rt one so bad I could barely move them and working in the oil patch driving water truck to build ice roads you need those damn shoulders. Still sound like there's growun glass in them when I move them around but barely hurt any more. More in my hands and feet now but that also seems to be fading tho it could be the daily use of RSO helping with that. Saw a rheumatoid doc a few years ago and he says it's not RA but said that having the fever as a kid does a weird thing with joints. I'm lucky it never seemed to affect my heart which is another place it can screw up later in life.

All in all I think I'm doing pretty good for 67. Most of my peers are on lots of different pharma meds, bald or balding badly and have permanent ED and I have none of those. Testosterone is like a teenager's and blood pressure is lower than normal which causes problems of it's own. Not a chance of diabetes I am told after extensive testing to find the source of my chronic fatigue that cause 'nap attacks' often after eating even a light meal. Weigh the same as I did at 18 but losing muscle mass so need to up my exercise and protein intake.

Never thought I'd make 30 much less 70 but that's less than 3 years away so might get there yet. :)
