If you find the right edible it works for the pain in your bones better than any opioid. Or in addition to a pain killer. moving around even a little helps stop pain. Going on 6 years!

After 36 hours awake, moving around does nothing but make me suicidal. I've had 3 fusions, neck fractures and get terrible nerve pain. Being on my feet when pain is bad only adds restless leg syndrome to my horrors. And cuts off the nerves to my bladder. So stop already.

Show me data that proves it’s doing anything.

And when addicts are in severe pain they will seek out street drugs to help themselves.
