Yes it is possible to use cannabis extracts or tinctures without getting stoned, i do this most days. I experience pain ( burning, stabbing nerve type pain) on a daily basis. This can cause me some anxiety and tension. I use MCT oil as a carrier, to which i add simple screen hash, ISO oil or butane oil. The key is dose, just like any other substance you may put into your body. I take very small doses on a regular basis. This relaxes my body and mind without leaving me feeling stoned. It does not completely take away my pain, but it does enough to help me feel like being more active. It may take some time to get used to the regular doses so that it is giving you the desired effects. You can also add extracts to virgin coconut oil, then massage this into sore areas. My partnet milks 1000 cows a day, she does not care for cannabis, but when she gets sore she requests the coconut oil, sends her right off to sleep as well. Also, strains and harvest times need to be taken into account and how that reacts to the individual. The only way to find what works for you is to grow a few different strains then experiment with harvest times and how you then consume the plant. I also vape and smoke from time to time. Its pretty hard to not get blazed even from small amounts as i find it hits me much more in the head, but yeah if im in serious pain i vape or smoke. cheers
