I was wondering if you used medical marijuana to help with pain of fibro. Are you using an oil or smoking it. Does it really work or just make you high?
Thanks for your help

Members shared diverse experiences with medical marijuana for fibromyalgia pain, with many reporting that it provided significant relief where traditional pain medications and muscle relaxers had failed or caused unwanted side effects. Several members explained practical options, including vaping CBD wax for immediate relief without the high, using high-CBD strains from medical dispensaries tailored to specific conditions, and consuming edibles or cannabutter when pain becomes severe. A recurring theme was the frustration of limited access due to state laws or doctors unwilling to prescribe it, balanced by hope and curiosity from those eager to try it once legal barriers are lifted.

You don't have to get 'high' to feel the benefits. I vape CBD in wax form. I feel a huge difference. The fog lifts, I can think clearly. My nerves relax and my body still hurts, but not at the same level. My pain is greatly reduced.

It would be getting something very high in CBD's, there are all kinds of canabinoids in each type or sub type. If you go to a co-op or medical store they will help you but, need to know exactly what you have. Mine know I have cancer, thyroid, diabetes, and FM. What I use and what for they help me pick. Mostly a sativa hi-bread when I need to get things done and a indica for sleep or relaxation.

It depends on where you live When I visited my cousin who has Fibro. and has a card I tried it ,it works. no pain pills, you eat it , let us not forget its an herb that has been proven to work.

Doctor will not write a prescription for it. He says it hasn't been proven to work. I told him it works for me. Two seconds after smoking a joint I have no pain, no spasms. Unfortunately I cannot get the pure oil without a prescription which doesn't contain the THC which gets you high, I would prefer it. I have and use cannabutter which you use like butter in baked goods and smoke it in a joint or pipe. I only use it when pain is really bad because I get high, it is expensive and I am on a fixed income.
