Cannabis and Tylenol are the only things that work on my severe arthritis. Keep your damn pain pills.

I’m not surprised, but I know I will get flamed for insulting Allah.

I made oil with it and use it topically. It seems to eliminate the dull ache of arthritis. I imagine smoking it helps with pain because you are so focused on how stoned you are.

How do you know they are the only two? Because the government and globalists tell us so?

With a title like “in some cases” you can’t be wrong.

I have no idea if it works...I never tried it, but I’m just pointing out what a garbage headline.

Placebo effect? MAYBE....

But if it works, it’s better than pilesof opioid.

I’m a hospice nurse. Some of my patients swear weed is better for their ills... who are we to tell them no?

Per FR rules, I am not allowed to change the headline.

But something to think about: Hubris is the enemy of science.. Responsible scientists are very conservative about studies, as the knowledge base continues to develop. Maybe, the headlines you should watch out for are the ones that blare their dead certainty.

There are at least two aspects to pain. Namely, how bad it hurts AND how much it affects you.

I can’t smoke anything (lungs are like Swiss cheese from many bouts of pneumonia and Valley Fever to boot) but I do micro-dose edibles, typically 10 mg Sativa during the day. If I’m having a bad day it helps even if only by giving me better ability to focus on other things.

For sleeping with pain I find a similar higher dose of Indica is wonderful.

After a 12 hour surgery and months of torture fighting 3 different kinds of cancer, MMJ kept me off a bucket load of pharmaceuticals. I can pretty much guess who was behind this article.

Don’t know, but I smoked a lot a weed in my day, and I have never voted for a democrat no matter what.

Sanctimonious drug warriors would disagree.
