Does medical marijuana work for chronic pain?

Hi Chris,
I have to go back to basics. The main fact in using Cannabis is that is really helps lessen the pain from Neuropathy. Since my state of PA has only had this product approved since 2018, it is very difficult to find a product and stay with it. Because there are very few growers here, we can seldom get the same product every purchase. The demand is higher than expected and for a variety of reasons, most of us are having to change products on a regular basis. Some Dispensaries have consultation available with an appointment. Perhaps you can try that and get better information? Best wishes!

Good evening @fala, Oh dear.....I think I have failed you. Knowing the ratio of CBD and THC in your chosen medical cannabis is the best I can get and give you. Then you can use the mg or ml printed right on the dropper to make sure you are staying within the suggested or recommended dosage. You use the same ratio and then adjust the mgs.
When CA passed the recreational law we had the same problem. Products had to be able to prove that they met the regulatory rules. Fires in CA disrupted the growing areas by either infiltrating them with contaminants or totally destroying them. I casually met the owner of one of the dispensaries. He was older and understood what I needed for neuropathy. He became my guide and I am quite grateful.
At this point, you may want to stay with a particular strains....sativa or indica and then create your own dosage. I learned that way and was glad when the droppers were introduced and I could measure precisely.
May you be free, protected and safe from inner and outer harm.

My state of Montana just made cannabis legal one week ago. I have lots of family in Colorado and California who are helping me sort it all out--just need to find the proper dispensary here in my home state. I do appreciate all the help here! Thanks.
