Does medical marijuana work for chronic pain?

@artscaping is aware I’ve had very good success using THC/CBD in tincture and vape form to cease my need for oxycodone/Tylenol 5/325. I was taking 6 daily for breakthrough pain from my main control from buprenorphine patch. I’m now using maybe one a month and still have my October prescription 1/2 full. But it took me a year of experimentation to get to where I am. What works for one does not always fit another. I use combos of 2:1, 1:2, 4:1 for vapes, a 10:1 CBD:THC tincture 1mi in AM and 1/2ml at 12:30 and 17:30, a full strength THC 1cc bedtime plus a 5:1 CBD:THC tincture and I use an RSO (Rick Simpson Oil) 4:1 CBD:THC 3x day. I no longer get a buzz from cannabis but being relatively pain free for the first time since 1988 is worth it. BTW the person who stated that specific types and strengths were limited in Pa is wrong as I live in Montgomery County and have a tremendous selection of same products week after week.

Thanks- I have been experimenting for years and can’t find the right combo but I must get off these opioids this spring. I have chronic pain and am 6 weeks out from TKR -which is painful.I appreciate the specificity it’s hard to just try Radom amounts!

I was so hopeful Medical Cannabis would give me some pain relief but turned out THC aggravated my Fibro and neck nerve damage pain. Has anyone else experienced this?
And CBD makes me sleepy so I take it at bedtime.
