In reply to the discussion: Large Review Finds CBD Products Don't Relieve Chronic Pain After All [View all]yliza
(193 posts)29. Morphine definitely works
        Only had it once when I broke my arm, they gave me a small dose in the ambulance.  Felt relief from pains I didnt know I had until they were gone, and that was from a dose so small I barely felt high. That being said, I dont think opioids are appropriate for long or even medium term use since they are highly addictive and become less effective over time.
If youre old enough to remember Darvon, now that was a painkiller that didnt relieve pain, at least it didnt for me.

        I think THC/cannabis has good medical uses, but it's not really a painkiller.

        That's been my experience, too. I got some to help with sleep, and sure enough, it helped

        Not surprising, since CBD is a threat to the pharmaceutical industry. So biases in reviews

        The problem is that most of it is just junk. There are no real standards on how much active ingredient there

        I tried CBD to alleviate arthritic pain, and it was useless. The CBD deal is all hype in my opinion.
