I’m not looking for medical advice, but more understanding. I have chronic back pain. I can alleviate it completely with only 2 things - alcohol and a heating pad. Ibuprofen lessens it but it’s still present. Muscle relaxers do nothing (which makes sense because it’s not muscle related, it’s spinal disk degeneration).
A tall glass of whiskey makes my back relax and I can move normally. Once it wears off tho, it’s right back to tense and painful.
Well, I mean at least the head fog and sleepiness from weed also comes with actual pain relief. 🤷🏻♂️
But also, it really depends on the weed. Some strains make it impossible to function from the fog. Others help with sleep. And still others give me crack-like energy.
