Does Anybody Else Use Cannabis For Pain Relief?

I smoke a joint, late into the evening for pain relief, it's the only thing that works to reduce my Fibromyalgia pain and help me sleep, does anybody else do the same?

I wish it were legal here too.. The Police aren't too bothered about it here if it's in your own home and you explain why you're using it. Because of my partner's violence towards me, the Police have been here a few times and have smelled it in my home and only advised I smoke it away from the kids. I'm no stoner however and only use it on a night time. It really helps to relax me and send me to sleep. Only downside is the ferioushous munchies I often get, lol. 😁

Hi Julie.. It helps me a lot and my doctor's are cool about it too.. It helps me to relax and prepare for Sleep, it also helps my mood by keeping me calm and reduce my anxiety. I'm careful with it however and restrict it to nighttime use only.

Yes, I grow my own medicine, extract it to canna-butter and bake cookies with it. I have a high CBD strain and a High THC strain. I've just used the High THC strain (very low dose) and it took 99.9% of my pain away for 8 hours. I'm lovin' that... next time I will try the High CBD strain and see what that does. Rumour has it the high CBD strain will do better. Update to follow.....

@A MyFibroTeam Member You probably need to try the CBD oil, it does not have the THC in it that causes the high only the healing element. I'm like you, I can't handle marijuana just like that, tried when I was way younger and i didn't do well, full on anxiety attack and all.
