I tried it when it first became available here at a local store (NJ). It was recommended by pain management which was two minutes up the road. I didn't feel any help with my chronic pains which I had been taking Oxycodone. It wasn't cheap as I recall. I have a friend with chronic pain issues and spine surgeries. He's been a firm believer in weed (even before it was legalized). Says he's had bad experiences with pills. He's quite artistic and does great tile and masonry work. I've been wanting to try the edibles, I can't do smoke.
