@DervishHonestly, I'm highly skeptical about the pain-killing application of marijuana. I tried CBD capsules after my script for percs ran out and nothing really happened. Opiates/opioids are really subtle monsters when it comes to their effects. You feel light and are overcome with a sort of "glow" in your mood, where you're completely content with everything if you take a high enough dose. Easy to see why people in hard times would rather spend their 20 bucks on the stuff rather than food. I instantly remembered why I liked the stuff so much when they asked me if I wanted pain killers after I came into the hospital with a broken ankle.
I beg to differ on the pain aspects for that. I've had several experiences where the pain-killing side marijuana have helped with menstrual pains, headaches, toothaches, muscle cramps, etc. Although, to be fair, I've never just tried to CBD.
And I will concur on your experience with pain-killers as well, because on a surprise visit to the ER, I was given painkillers to help with some back pain, and just taking one a day gave me that feeling of euphoria. I did enjoy taking them, namely because of how relaxed they made me feel. Not to mention I would fall asleep within minutes after taking one.
