Does medical marijuana work for chronic pain?

It took me a year of experimentation with THC and CBD combinations to finally find my sweet spot. I wanted to stop oxycodone for breakthrough pain and I did. I’m still using buprenorphine patch for pain relief 24/7 as I do not believe cannabis alone will suffice to relieve osteoporosis, spinal stenosis, chronic pain syndrome symptoms. It took a lifetime of living for our backs to get bad and to expect instant pain relief to me is unrealistic. For whatever you decide to treat your pain with give it some time and yourself some time to see if it works before chalking it off.

I have done the same thing working for years working towards finding the right formula. I get anxiety from a large THC content, not sure why. I have neuropathy and chronic pain from scarring following plastic surgery of my front upper torso. I purchased 2 different tinctures, one being a 4 to 1 from Vidda....., and the other 20 to 1, that being a broad spectrum CBD from the same company. Both are grown from Stanley brothers seed. I took the 4 to 1 yesterday and have serious pain today. So I just took my 20 to 1 again. Unlike the many that have told me THC is as much a pain killer, it really depends on you. For me the high medical CBD low THC is killing my pain. I can't compare my pain with other conditions, So i won't knock anything that help you with your pain. Pain is pain, but its source I'm sure makes a difference. THC does in fact work in the topicals for me.
