Does medical marijuana work for chronic pain?

I tried full spectrum CBD tincture and balm, and neither helped me at all. Decided to bite the bullet and get my medical marijuana card, and the tincture and balm I use now help me a lot.

I use only the Indica strain, which is the best strain for pain, according to my research.

I recently found out about Delta-8, and checked that it's legal in my state. I'm going to be trying Delta-8 tincture and balm, and if it helps, I'm going to use that instead of Delta-9. That would allow me to stop paying for my medical marijuana card and doctor, which would save me a bunch of $$$.

If anyone has used Delta-8 tincture or balm, I'd be very interested in hearing your experience, if you'd care to share it.

Thanks and best wishes to all,
Cookie

I am certainly no expert but have been reading about medical weed for pain and anxiety. Years ago I used to get sick when I smoked. So stopped for 20 years. Started w edibles but it could take 30-90 minutes for liftoff. Now I vape and microdose. A little at a time until the desired effect. During the day I use enough to begin to relax me but not high. Before bed I get high to sleep and wind down

Just an fyi. Delta 8 is not nearly as good as delta 9 and thco. Equal parts thc and cbd are known to be used for pain. Slow and steady
The absolute best site to learn is called Leafly. You don’t need a medical license to access the above mentioned. Many local gas stations now sell this and it’s legal because a loophole in some federal farm bill. Write down the brands etc and look it up on leafly I.e., gorilla glue strain and you can learn

You’ll most likely be disappointed. These products have less than 0.3% THC which is why they are legal. The stuff you get from dispensaries is much more than 0.3% THC and why it worked for you.
