I keep hearing that Medical Cannabis/Marijuana works greatly for both FIBROMYALGIA and ME/ CHRONIC FATIGUE SYNDROME SYMPTOMS . I am tired of both chronic pain and chronic fatigue. I don't want to take heavy duty narcotics as I have done that in the past.

Members shared widespread interest in using medical cannabis for fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue symptoms, with many expressing frustration over state-by-state legality and a desire to reduce reliance on prescription medications that often cause difficult side effects. Several members offered practical guidance based on personal experience, including using high-CBD strains during the day for pain relief without feeling high, THC-dominant strains at night for sleep, vaporizers to reduce the smell of smoke, and researching specific strains like Harlequin oil and Nordle that target particular symptoms. A recurring theme was the community's careful attention to legality and medical supervision, sharing educational resources about cannabidiol versus THC, state-specific laws, and the hope that more states will expand access to allow cannabis as a gentler, more natural alternative to heavy-duty narcotics.

I have tried marijuana and it is effective! I of course can't take it here in Florida, but I did in N.Y. There are different types, I used one that did not make you high, just relaxed and lowered the pain. I am hoping they pass the med. marajuana lae here.

I'm actually totally for medical marijuana, and I think that it will help. However, I will only take it if I am prescribed it. I'm like you; I don't want to take all of these heavy drugs/meds. I really believe all of these drugs are really not good for us, especially me because I am VERY sensitive to any meds.

I did some research and if you get medical marijuana with both THC and CBD it will help with the fatigue as CBD is an upper. I am in the process of getting my card. Should have it by the end of the month. I will post how it is helping once i get it.
