Is Taking Medical Marijuana Useful To Treat Chronic Pain?
My neurologist, neurosurgeon, and pain management doc. have indicted that the use of medical marijuana might b beneficial for my chronic pain. Since I live in a state that has not created laws to permit its use, how would I be able to get it, assuming, of course, that my docs are in agreement with its benefits?
