Hello,
Medical marijuana is not the best treatment option for chronic pain because it can cause addiction and tolerance if used for a long time. For this reason, I would recommend discussing with your doctor on the possibility of other treatment options for the management of chronic pain, including Duloxetine, Amitriptyline or Gabapentin.
Hope you will find this answer helpful! Let me know if I can assist you further.
