Does medical marijuana work for chronic pain?

Hi. So I use cbd/thc oil. A balanced blend between the 2. I found when using cbd only, it didn't help. I use a blend of cbd/thc, codine, pregabalin and duloxetine. I am not an MD, pain specialist or an advocate for medical marijuana or anything else. Up until now I had only tried marijuana when I was in college but I did not inhale, haha. I had been taking hydromorphone and a number of other meds including codine and pregabalin. Some of the meds where to combat the serious side-effects of the hydromorphone. I was very sick, addicted to opioids and STILL IN A GREAT DEAL OF PAIN!! I weaned myself off the opiods onto the marijuana. A very tough time. Here in Canada marijuana is legal. I experimented with various blends and strengths to find what works for me. Now, I am still in pain but don't seem to care as much? I am able to eat at least one meal a day and function well enough to get my cows fed. I have ACNES which is severe nerve pain all of the time, 24/7 365. Hope this helps

I agree with your comment of "still in pain, but don't seem to care as much". There is an analgesic component to Cannabis, but I also think much of the relief is due to the distraction (buzz). The PTSD people get alot of benefit, which doesn't surprise me.
As a sleep aid, cannabis is something else.
