i use medical marijuana for chronic pain from 5 spinal fusion surgeries. been using this alone for 3 years. i am suffering from a combination of chronic and acute pain with my heart surgery . i have found using opioids and MMJ is making the present pain much easier to deal with. yesterday i went to the dispensary and purchased some gummies and drinks because it is not practical to try and smoke MMJ at this time because you really don't want to cough. so i took a 42mg. thc gummy last night and it dropped my pain level in my chest and neck and shoulders from 6 to 2 for a good 4 hours i was able to delay taking my opioids a good 4 hours. slept much better last night with an average of 5 hours , broken but an 70% increase from the days prior.

Thanks for sharing. Unfortunately medicinal marijuana is tightly controlled here in the UK, unlike the US and other countries, and only available to a select few, although oddly non psychoactive CBD products are available from what appears to be an unregulated industry.
