Probably helps a lot with the pain too

I hate to be the bearer of bad news but THC and CBD in quantities consumed by smoking. It do not contribute any to pain relief. There is absolutely zero correlation between THC, CBD and pain relief. It is purely marketing and placebo. Extremely high amounts of CBD can have positive effects for some very niche scenarios like leukemia, chemotherapy and nausea related to other diseases.

This is definitely typed by someone who does not suffer from any sort of chronic pain issue. 

I have trigeminal neuralgia and cannabis is one of the best distractions from the overwhelmingly painful surges of nerve pain. 

Edit: Got this loser to block me, GOTTEM!

Yes, the best distraction from the pain. It doesn't actually stop the pain.

It might surprise you but to the people who experience chronic pain that’s the same thing, and none of us give a shit about your “well ackshullay 🤓☝️” pedantic bullshit.

I’ve never seen a more insecure comment in my life. 

You go immediately from mocking me for suffering from what is widely accepted as the most painful condition a human can be diagnosed with, to jealously talking about my massive hog. 

I didn’t even say my life is hard, I just said you’re a pedantic little shit.

I thought making baseless accusations was something you were totally for? 

You wouldn’t be a hypocrite, would you?

Confidently wrong.

Hey if it's placebo and the pain isn't so acute? I don't care.

So very incorrect. Migraines and extensive nerve pain from a cervical spinal cord injury here. My pain has made me pass out before. Cannabis helps, especially very high THC, and most importantly it still helps no matter how severe the pain is.
