Does medical marijuana work for chronic pain?

Thanks for all your suggestions here! I live in northwest Montana, where marijuana has just been finally legalized. I'm 74--somehow, missed the Reefer Madness craze when I was young, and trying out THC tinctures for the first time, to be added to my CBD tincture. I am having pain, itching, burning from a stroke 11 months ago. The ratios you've mentioned here are confusing because it seems the THC tinctures come in MLs or Mgs, and there's a huge difference in absolute amounts in a ratio. I do not want to feel high but sure would like to take the edge off of my suffering and wonder if you could refer me to a site to figure out the dosage and strains which I should be examining. Thanks!

Good afternoon @rebsue. I'm sorry that my message was unclear. Since you reference "here" and I don't know where "here" is, I will just add a note of clarification that is true for all of my tincture bottles with a dropper. There are 30 ml in 1 fl oz. The cannabinoids are measured in mgs, e.g. CBD 480mg, THC 240 mg. And that reduces to a 2:1 ratio of CBD to THC.

Most droppers have measurements expressed in "ml" along one side, so you can figure how many fl oz of the final mixture you would be taking. Not all tincture bottles are the same. You may ask someone at the dispensary if you need help with the conversions.

And in case you struggle as I do with remembering all of the math, check the product website or call customer support. Good luck. I sure hope this helps.

Remember one thing......the golden rule for administering cannabis dosages. "You can always ask for more, you can never ask for less. "
Do you have additional inquiries?

May you be free, safe, and protected from inner and outer harm.

Chris
