Those w/ chronic back problems, sciatica, numbness, etc. that partake (in one form or another) of the evil weed will tell you the truth - it helps. A lot.

Does it really help pain, or does it distract one from the pain by making one feel mellow and stoned?

I would say both. Not something I would ever use in the work place or during the work day. I would also say Jim Beam does about the same thing. I'd just rather not (given my JB history) turn into Hank Williams Jr. though.
