    Honestly wish I could convince my grandma that weed would be better for managing her arthritis pain than the opiates her doctor has her hooked on.

      Weed sucks for pain.

      Opiates are the only thing I’ve found that makes any difference at all.

      Not everyone is you.

        And conversely, not everyone is you. Weed has particularly variable effects, I know it might not work for my grandma, but as I see it it’s worth a shot if the alternative is opiates. She’s only unwilling to try it because she grew up being lied to about cannabis and thinks it will make her crazy. She’s even afraid of CBD.

          Exactly

          But I’m not the one coming on here telling everyone weed eases pain.

          Notice what I said: “I’ve found”. I didn’t tell other people what would work for them.

            So I’m not a medical professional, and I didn’t speak out of an abundance of caution while making an offhanded comment on a shitpost. Sue me.
