Does medical marijuana work for chronic pain?

Thanks Chris! I just re-read all the posts. I will try the tinctures- they are really expensive! I do find that CBD alone is usless in my case. Giving up alcohol going on 5 months has helped a tiny bit but it is so maddenning to have this condition and deal with constant pain, numbness and the resulting insomnia. The MM does help some.
can you let me know what the strength is of your tinctures?
Thanks!!

I use tinctures Ilera Healthcare product Ease (THC:CBD) 1:10 in the morning; Ilera Healthcare product Soothe 8:1 and PurePenn Full Spectrum RSO only THC 2.09% at bedtime. During the day I use cannabis oil and vape THC:CBD.
Doctors don't like it but a couple shots of Tequilla will help with the pain.

Hey there @luann262 ...... glad I could help. CBD alone is not my choice either. None of my tinctures have any hemp. The studies I have read claim a need for THC to jump-start things. I use a 1:3 CBD/THC. This is for my worst days and most difficult pain. It works and also forces me to take a nap. Maybe that is a good thing.
The 2:1 CBD/THC is my usual nighttime mix. It is calming and I go right to sleep. The THC amount just works well with the CBD. I usually sleep all night. Sometimes I have a toss and turn period at about 4 a.m. Depending on what my day holds I may decide to add a little and sleep a little more. As we use these medications, you will find that it takes a little more as our usage time lengthens, especially with the 2:1. The standard cannabis rule is: "You can never have less, you can always have more." I have made my way to a whole dropper at night and even more if I need it.
In the morning or at least when I get up, shower, and get dressed, I have a morning 1:1 CBD/THC dosage at about 3/4 of the dropper. This is my "get going girl" dose and is perfect for me right now. Once again, I use 3/4 of a dropper right now.
So....you are your own prescriber and administrator. I have been on this flexible tincture program for several years and a medical cannabis user for about 7 years.
May you be safe, protected, and free from inner and outer harm.
Chris
