I must agree for chronic pain it does not really help. For some people, it takes the edge off it but for me, it didn't. I only found opioids worked plus I traveled overseas a lot so medical cannabis even if it worked was not an option. My son suffers from chronic pain and finds a THC/CBD mix takes the edge off but does not really address the pain it restricts you from driving. After much searching, he found ketamine treatment was the game-changer for his chronic pain. A 150mg wafer a day and his pain went from a 7 to a manageable 4. Life changing but it does not work for everyone just like any medicine. What it does do is lower the baseline pain level, less side effects for him and he can still drive. I think CB/THC masks the impact but for chronic pain, I feel it is not a good long-term treatment option. It does not lower the average pain level which is the goal for those of us who suffer chronic pain. Why pain treatment is frowned upon for those who really need it is so frustrating being treated almost like a criminal for an issue that is out of our control. Never give up looking for the right option has been our motto as we are all constructed a little differently.
