Does medical marijuana work for chronic pain?

That's quite an interesting read, thanks for the info. Just enough THC to take the edge off pain is what I choose. I use mostly CBD with a small amount of topical gel or a quick vape, perhaps an edible of THC. I haven't gone over more than 2 to 3 mg of THC at one time, have been using medical marijuana for 3 plus years. I have a rule that I follow: I allow four to six hours in between having any more THC or cbd. Also, I have been dealing with migraines most all my life and wouldn't want to get blazed, because it could cause me to feel dizzy or unwell. That coupled with having to be dairy-free and gluten-free, well you get the picture- I need to lead a very clean and healthy life. Too much THC would be detrimental for most people. I've heard others comment that too much can cause a lot of pain. In summary, THC plus CBD combination is really my only medicine that I use!

Topicals have zero psychotropic effect as it absorbs through the skin slowly. Caution if you are on blood thinners, as sometimes cannabis too is a blood thinner along with many other spices. I have found high THC or at least a 50 50 ration of CBD THC on topical (salves) work quickly and can last over a day. Depends on the type of pain. Ingesting Cannabis I lean towards higher CBD and lower THC because the THC raises my anxiety. They need to have some THC higher than over the counter to bring up the effectiveness of the CBD. Some sublingual products,....under the tongue, or (tinctures) may be infused with THC, that gets the job done for me. I only take 1 ml, of 20 to 1 CBD once a day now. I believe after a while you may need less as it stays in your system, and its role is to block pain in our systems CBD receptors. For the occasion head aches, I take a couple Tylenol. Stay Clean
