I have made RSO before. It helps with sleep and appetite, but cannabis doesn't really lessen pain, in my experience, which include dispensary bought edibles. I was on pain meds, and then I stopped taking them because they made me nauseous, tired, cold, and caused a bunch of side effects that took years to get away from, like increased nerve sensitivity. When I tried to go back on pain meds, the doctors denied me because I admitted that I used cannabis. Chronic pain makes it hard for me to eat and sleep. I lost a third of my body weight and one point and almost starved while I was on pain meds after surgeries, etc. Pain meds kill your appetite. Cannabis is a great way to handle many of the side effects of pain meds, as well as allow one to use less of them. However, because doctors think they know it all, they act in a barbaric way and block pain patients from having the relief they need. One doctor told me that I might die if he prescribed me pain meds while I was using cannabis, and he was really self righteous. Guess what? Dying from an overdose peacefully in my sleep seems like a pretty good way to go, in comparison to how the nursing home killed my mom and it took almost two months for her to die after they injured her. Also, my own pain is so great, that death would, quite frankly, would probably be the best thing to happen to me in a long time. I chose to not take the pain meds and use over the counter anti-inflammatories, along with cannabis. I feel half dead from lack of sleep and horrible arthritis, along with other issues, but I don't want to deal with doctors anymore, and I can't really afford them anyway, as I can't work. Also, pain meds are addictive, and it is horrible to withdraw from them. My pain levels feel so much worse after I have to stop taking pain meds. It scared me really badly, and I don't want to go through it again. Cannabis at least is easy on the body, but it won't really combat pain, just some of the side effects of the pain, if that makes sense. Hope you feel better.
