Question: Given my age and medical conditions, I am 79 years old taking Simvastatin, Metropol tartate 50 mg once daily, Levothyroxine .025 daily, Losartan 50mg daily Aspirin 325 daily vit D# 400 daily, Restasin 0.05 daily,
I have severe arthritis of neck and spine. Recently suffered minor stroke and will be seeing a neurologist and cardiologist soon. Cannot tolerate any narcotic pain medications. Would like to consider cannibus herbal but only if safe. Would love to live longer for my many beautiful children and grandkids. What do you think. I did have an IQ of 140 but would be happy just remembering all their names (around 300 at the last family reunion). Thank you so, so, much!!
Given above description of my medical problems, I am a very active XXXXXXX lady. I am an avid gardener...love plants, fruit/vegetable plants/foods. I also sew for all my family and friends. My specialty is artistic works of table runners, aprons, towels, kitchen adornments, and also unique men/women colorful scarves. My eyesight is very important to me, as I must thread and use sewing machines daily.
I am very social and donate much of my time to XXXXXXX

Brief Answer:
In my opinion, it is safe and should be tried once before proper initiation
Detailed Answer:
Hello ma'am and welcome.
Thank you for writing to us.
I have gone through your query with diligence and would like you to know that I am here to help. If you wish to use herbal marijuana for the pain, then it is completely safe in my opinion and should help relieve your pain to quite an extent.
Either way, I would recommend a test dose and you can check to see how well you respond to it, and also if you have any side effects to it. But if all goes well and you are comfortable with the response you have to it, then you can continue it.
I hope you find my response helpful. Please feel free to write back to me for any further clarifications, I am always here to help.
Best wishes.
