No, no, no! Don’t ever use weed for pain!! Anyone who tries it will know it makes your pain a lot worse!!!! I still don’t understand why people claim indica helps! If it has thc it will make your pain go from 5 to a full 10 (1-10 scale) without fail every time!! I don’t understand why people continue to try to claim it helps! See for yourself if you don’t believe me.
I dont think weed helps pain that much either. Not like an aspirin. It does have great anti- inflammation properties that gives me a lot of relief from my symptoms.
but it never made my pain worse.
yeah that’s true, everyone’s body reacts differently.I haven’t had any bad reactions from CBD but people tell me that a heavy indica like granddaddy purp with all that THC would do wonders for my pain. Never tried it until I had a few cavities filled from the dentist. Smoked heavy indica, and I couldn’t be in more pain! Absolutely agonizing. Weed kicks in fast. When I smoked weed for my pain, my pain went from a 5, localized in the jaw by the filled cavities, to a overwhelming 10 that would encompass a majority of my head and neck. maybe try with caution as I could be one of many others who experience paradoxical reactions in regards to pain.

far from anxiety, specific to pain, weed works wonders in every way for me, indica absolutely crushes anxiety, and sativa crushes depressive anhedonia type feelings, or ya know, from a medicinal point of view everything is great. In fact I never experience paranoia or any other adverse reaction to any type of weed except I’ve discovered some kinda of paradox with pain sadly. It sucks because that means no matter how bad the anxiety, if I smoke weed for my anxiety, and my leg hurts, I’m trading anxiety for more leg pain :(.sounds like anxiety induced effect.
But for sure it is different for everyone.

Another time, long time ago, when I sprained my ankle I wasn’t entirely sure

or like right now when I don’t want to smoke to get high but just a little bit to help me feel better, like one hit. just that one hit is enough to dramatically worsen my pain.
Got to disagree, most and I would say a great majority get some level of pain relief from cannabis, and just cuz you and whoever wrote that article do not doesn't mean you're 'educating' anyone, you're only sharing your opinion.I was trying to share a link to help educate.
Cannabis Can Paradoxically Worsen Pain
Many people think of cannabis as a way to alleviate pain. After my friend was in a bike accident, she took cannabis edibles to escape the chronic pain that had developed in her back. Instead,profofpot.com
The misinformed public is stupid funny!Here are some quotes from the link I shared to save time. And as I said before there are more studies and a lot more anecdotes to attest. Just look at the comments to the post I shared. Just trying to help. Maybe you would use caution when suggesting a friend to try cannabis for pain as you don’t know how their body would react. You could suggest pot for pain and tell them to be careful at first to make sure the pain doesn’t get worse. Maybe start half dose. Instead of being like the friend in the story and your good intentions strangely put your friend in more pain.
Beachwalker, instead of disagreeing, why not look, and learn something.
Anyways here are the quotes, then the link again.
“Within the spinal cord, the C-fibers connect with second-order neurons that relay the signal up the spinal cord to the brain. Where C-fibers and second-order neurons intersect are interneurons that can modulate this signal. Specifically, inhibitory interneurons can decrease the strength of the signal sent to the brain. The brain then interprets the signal and produces the negative emotional state we know as pain.”
“inhibitory interneurons express the cannabinoid CB1 receptor. When the CB1 receptor is activated, the interneurons stop releasing the inhibitory neurotransmitters GABA and glycine. Without these inhibitory signals present in the spinal cord, pain signaling to the brain intensifies.”

Of course, as juggernaut says, I’m the one who is misinformed and It’s the shitty weed I’m smoking that’s causing my pain to intensify.
I’m doing a lot more than sharing just an opinion, it’s a collaboration of some information on the way pain works in the body and studies conducted observing how this phenomenon is possible. I’d suggest taking a look.Got to disagree, most and I would say a great majority get some level of pain relief from cannabis, and just cuz you and whoever wrote that article do not doesn't mean you're 'educating' anyone, you're only sharing your opinion.
It depends on the type of pain. It can make my nerve pain worse, (usually only a couch-lock indica for me) but a solid Sativa not only relieves my pain but enables me to get moving like I used to.Got to disagree, most and I would say a great majority get some level of pain relief from cannabis, and just cuz you and whoever wrote that article do not doesn't mean you're 'educating' anyone, you're only sharing your opinion.
