Anyone tried Medicinal Marijuana for relief?

My son keeps insisting that if I would try Medicial Marijuana it would help eleviate pain and I could get off of some of the narcotics.  He said they make chocolate, suckers, etc., that makes it easy to take, you don't have to smoke it.  

Are there Pain Management Dr.'s out there prescribing it for Fibro or has anyone tried it?

I turned to this as a last resort. It has been the only thing to give me any peace and relief from the pain and nausea. There are very few pills that I can take because of tummy troubles and my Dr is reluctant to put me on a patch because I don't have arthritis on xrays.

What I have learned is that relief varies by which strain you consume. I have my best pain relief and no nausea when I consumed the higher medical thc. Idk what cbd level was, but it was labeled for medical. It still only gave me 85% relief for 1 and 1/2 hrs. Other strains gave 30 -65 % relief for same amount of time. Edibles aren't offered here, but I think they might help with symptoms longer just not as immediately as smoking. These times are the only times I can function near a weak normal and do some things for myself. It motivated me and relaxed me while giving me moments of independence and happiness.

Brudisdog,

I live in Colorado and am in the process of getting a medical marijuana card. It definitely helps bring my pain down a few notches, on those evenings when I really need something more. My regular doctor offered to write me a prescription years ago, but I didn't want it.

But I'm considerably worse off now, painwise, so....I wish I didn't need it (or any of my meds!)

I prefer the edibles because I hate the feeling of smoke in my lungs.
