General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hi,

Welcome to HCM.
Marijuana is not at all recommended as a pain killer. In fact pain killers in general should not be taken unless absolutely essential, as they are known to harm the body. Marijuana is worse, as it has adverse effect on brain as well.
Best is to avoid all pain killers. You may use any local application of pain balm, infrared light application, hot fomentation etc.

Hi,
You are thinking of opting for a greater sin than nicotin. It is not at all safe to use it as a pain killer, it has many harmful side effects.

Homeopath,  Dr. Anshita Singh Rathore's  Response
Hi
Welcome to Healthcaremagic Forum

Safe?
Please go through the effects and side effects of marijuana on google. There are other better ways to relive pain. You can get in touch with a homeopathic physician for pain medication, if you really dont wish to take the conventional pain killer med's.
Takecare.
