Does medical marijuana work for chronic pain?

Here in New York, there are some gummies w a very high CBD dose and a minuscule amount of THC, which work very well for Chronic Pain for people who are sensitive to THC. Hedy is the company that makes a green apple flavored gummy that contains 1mg of THC:54 mg of CBD. I take 1/2 a gummy as a dose, and it lasts about 6 hours. This is called microdosing. I did some research on Google scholar last year and found an article about Israel doing studies on microdosing. They found it to be very helpful for many adults that don’t need a lot of THC, and are even bothered by THC’s psychoactive effects. But it’s enough THC to potentiate the combination and make it effective. In New York, products are labeled according to the ratios of CBD to THC. 1 mg of THC is enough to put my head in the soup. A pharmacist at one of our dispensaries told me about this product and how to use it.
My biggest fear is that since there’s only one manufacturer making this product, and you really have to hunt for who might sell it, that perhaps it could be taken off the market as not enough of a moneymaker, now that the adult recreational use market is legal.

I had been taking pills 1/2 thc and 2/3 cbd which worked very well. Since it is now legal there are no stores in my community. The government did us no favours. My pain was under control now it is always over 5 and getting worse.

This is the product that I usually purchase at the dispensary. And you are correct, because of the low THC it’s not very popular & difficult to find.
I even go further with microdosing, and will shave slivers off the gummy.
