Reply to comment by pokey68 in Patient Reported Outcomes Using Medical Cannabis for Managing Pain in Charcot-Marie-Tooth Disease by Psi_in_PA

Dealing with chronic pain, I can tell you that opiates cause me to still feel the pain but not care as much, but also make me completely couch-locked. Medical MJ provides the same sort of disassociation from the pain, but still leave me the ability to do the dishes.

Been smoking/vaping since forever, and when I have had pain, have definitely found the pain less important. Might help with a marijuana/pain study if they followed the “How much does it hurt?” question with the “How big of a problem is it?” Then administer the pot and ask again.
