Does medical marijuana work for chronic pain?

Itoo have been considering THC/CBD for pain relief but I'm concerned about adverse interactions with my statins, beta blockers, and levothyroxine. Does anyone have any experience, positive or negative, with these combinations?

@motorcarrier and all..I take all the above plus. No negative interactions. I don't take the heavier pain meds anymore. I worked all this year to taper carefully off Neurontin, Lyrica, Oxycodone,
large dosage of 800mg ibuprofen- actually helped a lot, but need to protect my stomach, intestines, etc. I'm so much better since off these drugs and using MM for pain control.

I'm thrilled with this process and MM. I hope you find the same. Elizabeth

I’ve researched cannabis drug interactions extensively as I’m on immunosuppressants and have chronic pain and neuropathy.

Cannabis interacts with hundreds of drugs, including, at least what I’ve read, statins and beta blockers. These and other cannabis drug interactions can be very dangerous, as cannabis may reduce or increase your medication levels in your blood stream. And, potentially reduce their effect or cause toxicity in your body and you may not be aware of this until damage is done.

I would recommend you consult with your physician prior to using it.
