My wife has fibromyalgia so unfortunately has to take daily tablets like Zapain to cope. We tried various CBD oil/ gummies/ tablets but, aside from the cost and unpleasant taste, they had little or no effect. Having done a bit of research, just as the active ingredient in Turmeric you need is Cumurin, the thing you really need from cannabis is THC. This is the component that gets you high and isn't available now in off shelf form. At one time you could get it mail order but they've closed that avenue down so we missed the boat. We know enough people to source cannabis to smoke but she doesn't want to go down that route. Hopefully, legalized CBD with THC pain relief will come at some point as it is surely a better alternative to other forms of pain relief such as opiate based ones.

Anyhow, even though it is an anti-inflammatory rather than pain relief as such, may well be worth trying the Turmeric Soulman. Very fortunately don't have it myself but I understand from living with someone with it how debilitating living with chronic pain can be. Hope you are well otherwise and still enjoying the guitar.
