Yes and yes. It helps brighten my mood and relieves pain. Most of the time it makes me stop and relax which I need because I'm struggling to accept my limits. The issue is when it's over, and if I over did activity because I feel less pain, I'm in more pain than before I took it. But that's my own fault, not the weed 🙃 It's definitely beneficial. Just start small and slow. I prefer edibles over smoking and those tend to be stronger and take longer to hit, so be careful if you go that route. I took wayyyy to much my first time and literally thought I was in another dimension/plain of existence 😂

Yes! It’s the only thing that works for me. It dulls my pain enough to revive me for a bit and I can happily get some things done 😅

Yes it helps me sometimes. I recently started taking low dose naltrexone and it appears that the cannabis is more consistently helpful when I take it after starting the Rx. Perhaps it's coincidental but I'll take that.

For me it helped put pain in the back of my mind instead of in the forefront. But I don’t like feeling high, maybe because I already have brain fog, and it makes everything seem even more swimmy. But I take it at night sometimes or high stress situations. I think it’s good to have around. I don’t have a med card but a local cbd shop sells stuff that is NOT cbd lol

Life changing. Drastically improved my quality of life. Without it, I’d still be in bed. Constantly.
