> there are lots of different kinds of pain, right?
Yes, we have 7 or 8 different types of categorical pains listed for this reason.
> Is cannabis most effective for any particular type?
To my knowledge, there is not a specific type of pain that cannabis has been shown to be "most effective" for. Cannabis acts on important receptors as an agonist or antagonist throughout our bodies.
> Is it probably the wrong choice for any particular type?
There is no evidence, that I'm aware of, that would indicate cannabis would exacerbate or otherwise extend pain for any type of treatment. On the contrary, we discovered our endocannabinoid system[1], which is a strong regulator of pain and discomfort signals, through research and treatment with cannabis.
