MetalHeader, if cannabis helps you great! I wish everyone who could find relief from using cannabis in any form would have a prescription and access to it. If you love someone dearly, yourself included...every minute of life should be as wonderful, carefree, joyous and as painless as possible. I truly hope it works for me too. I mostly take codeine but I imagine a non opiate might be a healthier alternative. Pain management is tricky and chronic pain is not simple to deal with. So many variables, what your job requires, general health, weight, mental health, family support. Even a decent doctor or health care worker is nothing to take for granted, if in fact you can even find one ☝️
