Does medical marijuana work for chronic pain?

The issues I have with vape is that it's kind of an in-between high, if your use to a quick hit. Doctors may have issues with mold and other pathogens that are not destroyed unlike fully lighting with fire. When I did vape it was on a high heat so close to lighting it anyway. Also the new things is more believe holding a hit in for more than a second or two is not needed like the old school of thought and old dirt weed, ( low THC). Vaping being more of a long inhale if like holding your breath and longer exposure to who knows what. We live on oxygen, so this doesn't seem good. Hit it and quit it!

So true! It expires and can get moldy. Will feel get like a soggy feel. If it has an ammonia type smell, its like gone, just dump it.
You have one set of lungs, they will grow more weed. Follow expiration within a few months. Buy a little flower, store cool, dry and air tight. Beware the 2 for one sales, you can get your choice of fresh stuff, when you run out. Things are changing quick, having to buy that big bag with todays quality should be a thing of the past!

I’ve gotten away from using flower as a past hippe who started toking at 16 I’ve had some pretty bad stuff in my day. I use vape cartridges and tinctures mostly and recently purchased a cream for an acute pain episode due to new dx. Hip Impingement. I like the ability to titrate my doses pretty specifically since I’ve replaced oxycodone with cannabis.

If one medication has stopped working and the Dr. puts you on something different, why are you still taking the first one? That doesn’t make sense. I went that route with different pain medications - found out which ones I was allergic to. Each time I was prescribed a different medication, I quit taking the one I was currently on.
From the list of pain meds you are taking, a lot of them interact with each other. And yes, the medications can quit working because our system becomes immune to it. That’s why your pain level is through the roof.

Ok, I was put on like 5 of these meds at the same time after fighting for my life for 4 months after a botched routine surgery. Next thing I know I have a 30 cm hernia. Took 2 years and many operations to me back together. I imagine I was on them all for pain. I am not taking anything now except xanax, 1 mg a day, and my Cannabis. You do not always get off a medication before starting another, it doesn't work like that with pain meds, you can die from withdrawals, at very best it is extremely painful. Some may or may not interact depends on the person. With pain medications I agree, you should be almost off one drug before starting another. I followed my doctors instructions to the letter seeing he was a pain management specialist. Never assume you understand the pain level a patient after massive major reconstructive surgery. For 5 years I couldn't feel most of my stomach and chest area due to these operations and nerve damage. A square foot of mesh is holding me together. I agree with your advice that these meds can cause pain in time taken together, that is why I insisted I lower and removed all of them for Cannabis. My doctor treated me for massive acute pain, and chronic would soon add to the equation. These drugs may have saved my life as physical trauma, and pain from stress, anxiety, emotional trauma, and other factors could have taken a toll on all my major organs that had failed during a one month induced ICU coma. I should be dead. But old fishermen never die, they just smell that way!

Drugs are used in many combinations to achieve the same thing as say a singular opioid, if you're allergic it. Can't help you understand if you don't listen. My pain is in control, and I was talking about past experiences with Tramadol. Everyones source of pain is different, so what works for your toes, may not work for someone with back pain. Don't try and tell others why their pain is through the roof if you don't understand something. Nothing is comparable here.

My friend's cardiologist had recommended a CBG, not CBD, product to her. The doctor had severe pain in his hand and swore this product is a game changer. He's now pain free. This doctor is a renowned cardiologist and my friend had been his patient for over 20 years, so she trusts him. Like me, she had very bad back and legs pain. Walking has become a chore and she uses a walker. She's very hopeful this product will help her too. I'm waiting to see if it works for her.
Has CBD/CBG products work for anyone out here? I have used CBD cream before but it didn't do anything for me.

What is CBG?
