I need some ideas about how to get my oma (dutch for grandma) to use marijuana for the pain she is in. She has severe arthritis and tendonitis in both of her arms, and has been prescribed Oxycodon for her pain. She cannot sleep for longer than an hour at a time because the pain wakes her up. She isn't very old, and is very active and otherwise very healthy for her age. Arthritis and tendonitis won't kill her, but the decrease in the quality of her life and the meds she has been prescribed might. I hate the current medical system right now; how it only treats symptoms and never works to prevent diseases. It also rarely discusses lifestyle changes that could help a person out. I know a guy who had gout, and was able to clear it up in two weeks by changing his diet, whereas his dad had got it previous and is now on dialysis to help with his failing kidneys and liver due to all the medication he has been prescribed.

I would be very surprised if cannabis didn't help with my oma's pain and sleeplessness, so I want her to try it. I doubt she would go for it knowingly, so I guess I will have to try to get her to use it without her knowledge (is that wrong, given the circumstances and what she has to gain?). Cooking with bud is probably the best idea I can think of, but she might become suspicious or at the very least confused, if I tell her that eating a brownie every evening will help her sleep better. lol. Can anyone think of something to help me out?
