I would just like to point out that cannabis is not a cure-all or even effective sometimes. Here's my anecdotal story: I personally have constant extreme pain (the joys of Ehlers-Danlos) and when I tried cannabis for my pain it not only was entirely ineffective, it greatly amplified my pain. So not only was I stoned, I was also in way more pain than usual. So I had a pretty bad time. I think issue was that a lot of my pain comes from muscle overuse because when my muscles relax too much my joints stretch or pinch the nerves passing through them (which is super painful). So cannabis most likely made me too relaxed to not hurt myself constantly. The reason no one in the medicine has even mentioned cannabis to you is because it is a schedule 1 drug. The DEA does not allow doctors to prescribe or administer schedule 1 drugs for any reason.
