does anyone use medical marijuana locality near Hagerstown?

Hagerstown, MD

Hello all 😁 I am wandering if anyone locally near me uses medical marijuana for their pain? With all the bad news that is out there about pain medicine.... Ie...

Members shared experiences and practical guidance for someone in Hagerstown considering medical marijuana as an alternative to opioids for chronic pain management. Several members explained the process, which typically involves consulting a specialized cannabis doctor (not a regular physician) who provides certification to purchase from licensed dispensaries, with specific advice to seek products high in CBD for pain relief and equal or slightly higher CBD-to-THC ratios to avoid anxiety or other mental health concerns. A recurring theme was the importance of thorough research before starting, including understanding different strains and their effects, with members recommending resources like Leafly and emphasizing that while medical marijuana can significantly reduce pain, the experience requires careful consideration and guidance from knowledgeable sources.

You can get marijuana that is higher in CBD which gives you more medical effects like reduction in pain and it doesn't give you as much of a high, the less amount of THC in the cannabis and higher CBD is what you should be looking for, I can't get things like that back in England as it is still illegal because I would rather take it for pain and not get high myself .

I live in California where medical Marijuana is legal . My son has a card for it so I have tried a low dose several times . It does help the pain almost better than oxen but I can't decide if I like how it makes me feel . I never used drugs growing up so this is a new experience for me .
