I am not familiar with using medical medical marijuana however I am currently on Vicodin for chronic pain. I live in Sarasota Florida. I want to get off Vicodin but not sure how that transition would work. I want to try the medical marijuana but don’t know if that would be a problem if it does not work and I need to go back to pain management. Anyone familiar with transitioning and how this will effect things with pain management Drs. Thx

You should discuss the issue with your pain management doctor, as many are okay with you trying. Then if it doesn’t help, you can tell them. I tried it, tinctures first. I looked back at my comments to my sister through messaging during that first year, and saw I immediately had a problem with nausea, to the point I thought I had a virus. I didn’t even realize it was the mmj, as the information I was reading everywhere said it relieved nausea!
I eventually figured it out and my marijuana doctor told me it happens to a small minority.
I then tried vaping, and only at bedtime, indica strain for sleep. That did not give me nausea. But I don’t feel it helped me with my spinal and neuropathy pain very much, and I didn’t like the feeling it gave me? The CBD alone does little for me. I did feel the topical helped my arthritis, so I make my own. I use on my hands and elsewhere, shoulders. It doesn’t do much for stronger lumbar pain, for me. I hope this helps, another opinion. The dispensary folks were helpful with choice of products.
