Does medical marijuana work for chronic pain?

I’ve been using cannabis tincture for a month for chronic headache (24-7) . I have been using Tylenol for over a year every 4 hours and it stops the pain for that long, at least, but Drs have warned me to lower daily usage due to possible liver damage occurring. Since I added cannabis tincture a month ago, I’m having to use much less Tylenol, more hours between pills. Not making a final conclusion as to whether it’s the cannabis until I experiment a longer time. The supplier I’m using is in Iowa, Phil GAUTHIER, 515 226-9979. He is very knowledgeable and willing to work with me, finding the right dosage, etc.

Thanks so much for this source. I have wanted to try Cannibas but did not know whom to trust with a good product. Iowa is a long way from me in Texas but may just give Phil a try. And exactly what is a tincture and how do you use it?

I also have chronic migraine. Could the cause be a med you are taking? My doctor would not listen to me, so I did a little experimenting. Turns out, it was a blood pressure med: Hydralazine. My migraines have been reduced by ~50%. My doc finally substituted another med.

I was taking Botox for migraine about every 3 months. Injections are a little painful, but I was able to tolerate.
It helps; you still get them, but not as painful. The manufacturer has a program that gives you a refund, just call them. I have commercial ins, so had to pay $600 up front, then submit paperwork to get almost all back. I would charge on credit card, then pay it.

I have found CBD to be ZERO benefit for my Rheumatoid & osteo arthritis, fibromyalgia, plantar fasciitis, & migraine disease. I’ve only tried lotion, not pills. It’s so expensive to not work, but might order pills/gummies to try…

However, ID the med causing them has helped the most.
