My point was only that a source of original research isn’t a substitute for doing original research for oneself, as sources aren’t always updated with the most recent data. I wasn’t looking for anyone to do the research for me, rather I was encouraging individuals to do independent research to get the most up to date scientific studies that would ideally corroborate or, at least, evaluate the accuracy of original source material.

Mayo Clinic is my personal choice (over Cleveland) because I’ve seen mistakes of omission in research & inaccurate conclusions by Cleveland, likely due to the problem of maintaining accurate up to date information in a long prohibited area of research.

Also, regarding the original question, I have experience collaborating on studies on the efficacy of medical marijuana vs CBD-A vs CBD for pain relief.

I’ve experienced the greatest success with a combination of CBD-A & CBD for treating my own pain issues. I combine them with Sunflower Liquid Lecithin & go slightly higher on the amount of CBD I use because of my pain threshold. My pain issues are from a fractured femur in early 2014 & have worsened as the copious amount of chemical anesthesia administered to me for the surgery has gradually worn off.

For information purposes, I don’t recommend Dilaudid for any reason. It’s not personal - rather it’s because of what it is (laboratory chemicals manufactured at a low cost), why it’s used to replace morphine (cost effective because of end user cost), the reason it’s used (greed), & the cost in terms of quality of life. In my case, the anesthesiologist lacked knowledge that Dilaudid was not intended to be administered as a 1:1 substitute for morphine.
