There are probably less medications being prescribed and less abuse of medications probably because people can choose to use a treatment that has been suppressed for 100 years. It’s definitely likely a good alternative for replacing addictions from other substances in certain cases due to the psychotropic similarities that cause increased neural plasticity.

Cbd oil for pain relief is new to me, is this legal?
Trying to get off opiates for nerve damage after I broke my neck….is this good to try?
isolated THC and CBD don’t work as well as whole plant cannabis. but they can’t patent that.
How many years of study do they need cannabis works for many things why are they always trying to demonize it in this country it’s much better for you than a bunch of these pharmaceutical medications
I am brazilian, so it is illegal here and I had been suffering with chronic pain in my jaw due to TMJ and nothing would work, I was going to hospitals every week and taking a lot of different painkillers, trying to see what would work and in the past 5 months nothing would take away my pain entirelly. When I was visiting LA I bought some water with cbd oil in it and I haven’t had any pain since, and that was a little over a month ago. I am in shock at how well it worked for me, and I had been taking tramadol for a while and it didn’t even take my pain away that much, it just made it bearable for me to go to work. I haven’t taken any painkillers since.
The state of Florida says marijuana does not treat pain and they have taken pain off of the marijuana treatment list.
Florida said too many people have prescriptions for pain so they’ve taken marijuana off the pain treatment list.
someone please help either have to tolerate my pain now or go back to opioids someone please help us here in Florida
Thank you for your comprehensive and inclusive explanation. When we use the term "whole leaf" does that mean smoking vs other means of consumption?
In my state I belong to a program medicinal marijuana but it’s for people to smoke and drink for him I have asthma clearly I cannot smoke it. Are there other recipes that the marijuana can be put into a tea and consumed to control chronic pain what other options are there if any that will give you 100% of the strength of the marijuana for controlling pain I want to see if it’s going to work to control my pain it may not be strong enough I don’t know but I certainly cannot smoke it which I’m shocked they don’t have any other options in the program no drops no. No other thing only smoking that’s all available so I thought it has to be other ways of converting it to get it into your body Cypress brownies I mean that’s you know old school I would think it’d be more potent in a t just drink the product inside the trt itself everything all in one shot. I would have said I look forward to suggestions is there a way to make it into eye drops concentrated eye drops where under the tongue?
OK. But all the terminology is confusing. Online I found some sites showing positive results for studies made on cannabis for pain. In short, can it be effective for lower back pain resulting from fusion of disks L1/L2. I had Harrington rods installed and removed cause one broke.
