35. it just takes the pain away
Mon Nov 12, 2012, 07:10 PM
Nov 2012

You still get some of the THC high but mainly you just get relief from the pain. How much high versus pain relief usually depends on how it was grown and what the levels of THC and CBD are. Any marijuana can be "paralyzing" if you take too much. I know a patient who has some pretty potent brownies and some of the patients eat too many brownies and end up sitting in the same spot for hours. But if you take the right amount you can still be mobile and lucid.
