That not the case in Virginia where we have legal dispensaries. In fact, my pain management doctor gave me the THC permit to purchase it. They don’t test for THC because it’s legal to purchase and use. Again, I can’t speak for any place except Virginia. Find out what the rules are where you live. Blessings to you and all of the pain warriors out there.

I’m considered a chronic pain patient due to a failed lumbar surgery where they inserted 2 rods and eight screws into my back which ended up causing me more pain than what I had before my surgery. This was back in 2017. Ever since I’ve been on hydrocodone 5mg/325 acetaminophen. I have also been prescribed 800 mg ibuprofen 3X a day. The prescription for the hydrocodone says to take up to 1 tablet every 6 hours. To be candid I only take 1/2 tablet of the Hydrocodone along with the ibuprofen first thing in the am and try to limit my ibuprofen intake to twice a day, morning and night. If I’m having a bad day I’ll take one in the afternoon with a muscle relaxant (Flexeril). I rely on cortisone shots in my lumbar area 4 times a year just so I can put on my own socks in the morning. Last summer my pain doctor said I’ve had my limit of cortisone shots and he recommended medical marijuana. I have a pain contract with my primary so all my pain meds need to thru her but she also recommended the marijuana. My problem is I hate to take it during the day because I get nothing done and I certainly won’t operate a motor vehicle while using it. I basically use it at night which will allow me to get at least 6-7 hours of sleep without waking up. Still have issues putting on my socks though.😕 I’m still in pain but it does help somewhat. Thank god I’m retired.
