as an NJ resident, I hope it will get cheaper than medical marijuana which is very pricey. Does marijuana help w/ inflammation?

Most people have commented it helped with their pain somewhat. But did nothing for inflammation which makes sense when I think about it. Price has been another hurdle for people. I know of people that tried it for chronic pain hoping they could get off their pain medications. Not only did they not get off the medications they could not afford the price. Then there can be issues with employers doing random drug screens, it may be legal, however, that does not mean a person is protected with their job.

I live in CA, and it's been very easy to get here for many years, so of course I tried it for my IBD. I think it helped for cramping, depression, appetite stimulation, but it didn't put me into remission or anything even close. I didn't even experience a slight reduction in symptoms. Other people may have a different result. I have heard of people using CBD oil and saying it has helped their condition, but it's not like there was a study where they accurately tracked results. People's experiences have so many individual variables.
