Does medical marijuana work for chronic pain?

It works differently on different brain receptors than other narcotics as it is an agonists and attaches to MU brain receptors. One patch lasts 7 days and only certain docs can prescribe it. I had to increase my initial dose to 20mcg from 15mcg but been on same dose x3 years. I tried high dose THC but didn’t help. I still use THC with CBD as the entourage effect works better than CBD alone. I use tinctures mostly and micro dose throughout my day and no more oxycodone

Had to do quite a bit of reading to understand the entourage effect. Basically speaking, the ratio of THC and CBD among other compounds creates a therapeutic response.
When you are talking about agonist and mu receptors I am a bit confused, but will do more reading on it.
I saw you use tinctures mainly. What dose is normal for you versus micro-dose? Do you get into CBN? My doctor supports marijuana for ways of alternative pain relief too. Curious with your regiment for possible trials on my end. Thank you.
Last night I used mixed flower Jokerz and Breath Taker. Then laid a 6 second vape of Groove Solventless Rosin Oil Blueberry Muffin vape at 83.40% THC. I slept almost 10 hours.
