I wish there was more info on usage of cannabis for pain. It really helps me, but it would be helpful if they started sharing some research results. I think until recently, it couldn't be used to research because it is still illegal federally. I'm sure someone is looking into it! I am sure there are probably side effects that we don't know about.

So what kind of doses and what form are you given when you go the medical cannabis route?

Maybe we will hear from some suffering people who have more info on using cannabis.

You are lucky to have a choice. Cannabis is still illegal in Wisconsin.

I had a consultation with the pharmacist at the medical dispensary. He was knowledgeable about which strains, strengths would be helpful for pain, insomnia. It’s kinda trial and error. Start low , you can always increase a little at a time. It’s hard to figure out in Ct. because they don’t use the true name of the product so you have to cross reference the dispensary name online.
