Does medical marijuana work for chronic pain?

You didn’t mention what state you live in, but I’ve been in the process of writing to the New York State office of cannabis management, as well as to Cannabis industry groups to express my concerns about who is looking out for the medical marijuana patient, once cannabis becomes legal, and the market gets flooded with products for the general user, who is often seeking a THC high. Medical marijuana products are not likely to be profits centers for their manufacturers and vendors. The medical marijuana patients need to have their voices heard, and need for the state regulatory agencies to advocate for them.

You are right, we who need it for medical reasons need it far more than those who want to get high. I live in Canada, 7 years ago the government legalized it. Our addiction and deaths went way up and many of us with medical needs have not been able to get it. Before, my doctor had given me a prescription which now I can't get. I hope that does not happen for you.
