Does medical marijuana work for chronic pain?

We have 2 very nice dispensaries in our town. Our grocery stores should be so bright and clean, and staffs should be so courteous and knowledgeable. Unfortunately.
It does nothing for me, and I mean nothing. I don't get high and I get no relief. My first try was 3 or 4 years ago when I was 77, and the clerk suggested a reliable cigarette.If I may use that terminology and it did nothing no matter how much I inhaled it, which was two or three times what she had suggested. I then tried chocolates and got no feelings at all from them. More recently I got something That looked a bit like a ballpoint pen and I was to click out a serving. Again mullible servings did nothing. Maybe you could suggest Adosage, as well as a dosage of just what. I'm afraid the clerks are being too "gentle" with me. Thx

Hi@cekkk:
Hmmm... I am puzzled by your experience. In a lifetime of using marijuana, I have encountered only one other person with the same complaint, a senior friend of mine. In my friend's case, he tried it only after much persuasion from me! So, I believe he talked himself out of any good experience. You don't sound negative, as you keep trying despite zero effect. It may be
possible that staff are
under-dosing you, as you say. Being 'careful' with the senior!
The potency of bud (dried) cannabis is measured and labelled by THC content. I bought the highest content I could find: 41 mg./gram. Six or eight puffs give me the three-hour pain relief I desire.
Next time you shop, ask staff for a THC potency in that range. It's not an extreme dosage. The really strong stuff is still only available from illegal pushers on the street. Don't go there!
I perhaps haven't provided you with all the available advice there may be. Just my own experience. I hope you can get it working for you. Cannabis is a miracle!
