Does medical marijuana work for chronic pain?

As I have written previously, CBD alone helped me reduce my oxycodone use from 6 to 4 a day PRN. Adding THC to the CBD (much easier and safer) helps me deal with my chronic pain better emotionally and throughout my day. I have no expectations of being totally pain free since I cannot use any anti inflammatory OTC or prescription drugs and never had back injections. I use buprenorphine patch 20mcg/7 days routinely, drink green tea, take turmeric 2000mg/day and eat an anti inflammatory diet. Except for my chronic level 5-6 back and leg pain I’m in the best shape I’ve ver been in for 69.

The doctors in my state don’t work with patients using THC and I wondered if other states allow it. Makes so much sense, to me. But since I use that medicinally I can’t get pain relief. I primarily use it for increased appetite.
I know plenty of people that have smoke marijuana to reduce the pain. Serious back surgeries, I mean even muscle spasm will stop. CBD oil how know what strength your setting unless it tested. The researchers found that participants preferred Indica strains for pain management, sedation, and sleep while they would opt for Sativa strains to improve energy and mood. works for me too. All the horrible synthetic pain med is bad.

@jenatsky Thanks for posting one more time. I concur with your recommendation to adding ‘THC to CBD. And your expectations are reasonable. Cannabis helps us mentally and physically. It is not a cure all by any means....it just makes living more joyous and pleasant.
May you have happiness for every day of your 69th year,
Chris
