Hello dear. I never advise marijuana for my patients to releive the pain. marijuana can make a patient addictive. It can hinder a patient capacity to receive further treatment. We have better available drugs for pain control. So you should not worry about pain. Please ask your doctor regarding pain management and dont fall in the trap of marijuana.
thanks
thanks
