Does medical marijuana work for chronic pain?

My heart goes out to you..pain sucks! I am dealing with 3 thoracic compression fractures that gets my pain tolerance really tested most days. I use infrared therapy...a belt for around my back and hips..and I also use a heated wrap from the microwave. These at least calms the pain down so I don't have to take pain meds. I've been a 'toker'...(enjoyably so) for the last 50 years...not a lot..just enough to get me 'comfortable' with what my day would bring. I always use flower and high in THC....without CBD...
Then the CBD craze came along..and along with expensive CBD products of all kinds for all kinds of "what ails,ya"...so I never really got into it. BUT....I've been educating myself regarding the healing and pain benefits from that part of the plant....and I now have more knowledge as to how the CBD part of this 'flower' is ever so helpful in so many ways. I live in a state that has a dispensary on every corner..just about!....so there's always a wide array of 'the kind' as well as all the other forms of the plant. I bought a few of the CBD products in the past, but never felt anything from them at all....That's until now. I'll admit to being drawn into an infomercial by the title...I watched it and ordered their product. I'm not a wealthy person...this wasn't inexpensive..but the story behind the product, how it was conceived as a last resort to treat the daughter of the president of this company..and to see her now is quite an eye opener. I got the product....(from Vermont) opened it at the Post Office and took 1/2 dropper under my tongue. I was in a lot of pain at that moment..having been out shopping and walking. In about a minute...really!...I could feel the pain 'melting' away! That was 3 days ago!!..I haven't thought about taking any more..I'm typing this without the wrenching mid back pains I would normally be in and I feel no need yet to take another dose! To say I'm blown away wouldn't even touch how I feel! I've been staying at a 1 on the 1-10 pain scale..as opposed to where I was..6-8, most of the time. The product comes from a 600 acre organic hemp farm in Vermont...the video is impressive. They cold-press the plant which might be the difference in how our bodies assimilate the drops/gummies...as opposed to other ways that are used. The two bottle deal came with 10 gummies..I haven't tried them yet...
Full disclosure....After sitting writing this, I was starting to get my familier back pains. I got up and took the 1/2 dropper of the 1,000mg. Full Spectrum CBD..sat back down at my desk and as I'm writing this..I have no more back pain!!! WOW!....I'm impressed....now I can think of things I'd like to do today..instead of looking to get out of pain!...I think I gave you all interested enough clues so you can find this company without me naming it. Good Luck!

Good reporting @bunky44. I am very happy for you. To find relief from pain is just wonderful. I am also one who has followed the medical cannabis trail to find relief for my SFN (Small Fiber Neuropathy.). The pain does just kind of melt away or at least dribble away. Good luck to finding a new way of living.

There are a number of organic hemp farms in Vermont. Any additional clues without naming. I.e. town?
