I have used marijuana for pain, and it helps, but made me so high, that I was probably unaware of everything, period. I inhaled very little. The stuff I used was very potent. My pain at that time was very severe, so I appreciated it. However, it is not a state I would like to be in on a regular basis. I really do not have much experience with it at all, but I can tell you, it helped the pain tremendously. I have heard that marijuana is much stronger than it used to be. I really do not know. I would say that if you are at your wits end with pain, do it. Just don't make it a regular thing, because it is not a way to live a life. Lori Renee
