Does medical marijuana work for chronic pain?

Have to get back to you as soon as I get a different formula. Right now its a Tincture of CBD oil with very little THC. Nothing for the pain, does help with the anxiety. Also purchased some "Miracle Cream with THC" helps with the nerve pain and muscle cramping. I get that the THC is reported to interact with everything. Most the reports are not actual studies, rather based on theoretical models. Not that they are wrong, just that since THC was ostracized for so long. I'm sure reports still have concerns of the social repercussions. You never hear anyone saying a couple shots of vodka or whisky will help with the pain either.

Interaction of CBD with meds or health conditions is not totally theoretical.
CBD can cause blood sugar to rise, even when one is using meds. (Maybe not for everyone, but we have observed it in my husband and a friend.) And it can and does interfere with coumadin (warfarin) by increasing concentration in the blood. These are just 2 examples.
There are a number of studies - the best advice is to consult your provider(s) and to research the interplay between both CBD and THC and any medication you use or medical condition you have. Also, topical applications of CBD are generally thought to be safer because less is absorbed into the bloodstream.
