Had to sneak around with it, but it was the only thing that relieved spouse's broken back pain. High THC.

It ain't doing SHIT when you have actual, real, acute pain.

Talking about the kind like when you need a root canal, or an appendectomy, or you've just come out of surgery where you just got cut wide open ... THC ain't touching any of that.

It may help you 'forget that you're in mild pain', but anyone who thinks it's an actual analgesic ... is pretty much just high.

And I say this as someone who quite likes pot ... going back to the 1970's ... it has it's values (especially as an anti-emetic/appetite enhancer), but imagining that THC is a potent painkiller ... is a joke.

Hell, alcohol is a better painkiller than pot ... and it sucks as one.

Bought 100 mg of CBD oil for $30 then read you may need 200-300 mg per day to work.
I got nothing out of it at such a low dose. Amazon CBD oil search only give you ridiculously high priced hemp oil with no real ingredients. Might as well buy peanut oil or salad oil. I am disappointed at the scams and ridiculous prices out there. Maybe another day I can try something again but its just money making schemes as far as I can tell.
