Medical Marijuana is literally the only thing that even touches the pain for me. I've tried it all. No stupid side effects either.

Hi

Can I ask where you got it from? Was it the doctor?

If you're in the UK, then no - it's still considered to be a Class B drug... which, in my opinion, is ridiculous - considering it's the only thing that will help a lot of chronic pain conditions.

But pharmaceutical companies gotta make money selling their overpriced chemical drugs, so it's unlikely to be legalised in the UK until the people take action and push for it.

Hi, I've tried all kinds of pain killers and nothing touched my pains. I'm now trying morphine patches which my GP gave me and it's seems to be working on and off so far.

I hope you find something that helps you. It is frustrating when nothing helps with the pain.
