Opioids are dramatically more effective than cannabis at relieving acute pain. Arguably, so are ibuprofen and acetaminophen. What cannabis is useful for is chronic pain, especially pain of inflammation. The use of opiods to treat chronic pain is problematic for many reasons, addiction being a big one, but there are also significant side effects. Cannabis is much safer to use long term.
