You seriously feel like the weed dulled the pain? My experience is the opposite. All our bodies are different and affected differently. I wish it had helped with my pain ☹️
Man, opiates never helped, I could be nodding the fuck off on smoking fent patches and still hurt. Booze helped but caused serious problems in my life to the point it caused more shit than it helped. Ketamine helped a lot but that shits expensive and not good to do every day. Injecting lidocaine above the nerves in a certain way to do a nerve block helped a fair bit, but made it hard to function in daily life because I couldn't move very well with a nerve block going. Hurting every single day fucked with my head and my self esteem, weed didn't fully fix anything but it helped me relax without causing other problems in my life, and made me not care so much about the constant pain. Now that I don't need any pain relief weed is getting popular and cheaper, which pisses me off a bit. I advocated for legal weed constantly, to my government in my state and to anyone that would listen, and I mostly got treated like shit by people. People would look at me and not see and think I was normal. Even doctors treated me like shit.

Sorry to hear that
Don't be, my life is SO much better now, I am back to work for the first time in 16 fuckin years. I had odd jobs here and there before but always hurt so bad I sometimes would end up in a fucking wheel chair and unable to walk and have to quit. I am pain free and much much happier now. I tried to have it done several times over the years and drs always treated me like shit and refused to do it, they just wanted to push drugs on me that never ever helped, and often made my life worse, whether it be opiates or SNRI like cymbalta. Cymbalta for pain can you imagine? It was used off label for a few years for pain and it was the dumbest shit ever and caused serious problems. I asked my dr if it was ok to take with 5htp which I took daily, and she said it was fine, and I was like WRONG BITCH I knew before I asked that it wasn't ok to take. She was just throwing shit at me without even thinking about anything.
I can walk run and lift weights with no issues, I work and have some joint pain but that's only because my body isn't used to it, but I get stronger every day and it gets easier and easier, I get happier and happier.
As for the OP, CBD is great, I never had a chance to use it before my amputation, but I use it sometimes now for muscle soreness after a hard day at work or after a workout where I am working on unused muscle groups and it works fucking GREAT. I have a very talented chemist friend who is an OG totsean that has a website that sells it. If anyone is interested in getting some PM me, I can't say who it is, obviously, but dude is talented as fuck as a chemist, and the grower who grows the weed has won the cannabis cup before, and is growing strains for harvard clinical trials, and is in the process of selling his genetics to several nation states, as well as pharma companies like pfizer. I have a discount code as well to give anyone interested. Shoot me a message if you want faggots.
