My story (short version) - I had SEVERELY PAINFUL!!! lower back sciatica a year ago, was put on opioids by Doctor, (hydrocodone, etc) (See? Solve it with a pill is the modus operandi" for many dr's) and a friend in al legal MM state gave me some MM she takes for glaucoma. She uses edibles, no smoking, makes cookies out of it, per her doctor, mixes it in the butter. Anyway, I took 3 hits and the MM did more than about 5 bottles of opioids did!!! I of course, immediately stopped the opioids and used the MM. MM comes in strains. If you can legally get it, get strains called "Indica" and, specifically, the strains "OG Kush" and "True OG" and, after 3 hits, or bites of a cookie, and you will smile, laugh and then lull into a dreamy sleep for the night. With no pain at all.
