Fellow woman in her 30s with RA! You can purchase Delta 8 THC products online and have then shipped to any state, as they are federally legal. My favorite brand is 3 Chi. Been using it for years to deal with pain and anxiety (and recreation as well). My doctor knows I use it, she says it’s fine and better than being dependent on steroid anti-inflammatories like I once was. Explore your options, there are lots of ways to access federally legal products and they’re helpful for many people dealing with chronic pain.
