Yes, I use it. I am medically certified with my state. I take it in pill form and yes, it is expensive, It does help with anxiety & sleep as well as pain. Like any new drug, it takes a bit to get used to it. At first I thought it was too strong, but that subsided in a few weeks. I don't use it during the day. Every person responds to Cannabis differently. I have very few side effects with it. I also supplement with CBD in capsule form as the oil tastes horrible to me. I hope this info helps.

No. I am allergic. Found that out in 1972 at college.

You are not supposed to have alcohol while receiving treatment. You’re not supposed to even use NyQuil or DayQuil, because of the alcohol contact in them.

I agree marijuana does help with the pain but it doesn’t last very long but it helps dull the pain. If my drug plan covered the cbd oil I would definitely use it more because it’s so friggin expensive. Bob 66 yeah our kids gave us a couple joints so my wife and I smoked one and boy this new stuff is way more potent than the stuff that I used in high school and I couldn’t get out of my chair too make another drink so no more of that stuff.

I would take CBD rather than marijuana. You get the medical properties without the THC which is the stuff that gets you high. Pharmaceutical grade stuff is pretty expensive and not covered by insurance. Also, MM patients should avoid NSAIDs to avoid kidney damage. Tylenol is okay.
