I’ve tried it a few times when I had a lot of pain. Didn’t hep me. I’m jealous of those for whom it works. Tried the pure CBD too, no help. I’ve gotten some THC/CBD capsules for my brother who has ALS. He’s not really in physical pain but completely helpless in an electric wheelchair. I’ve been getting him edibles for a couple years, he can’t breath on his own so can’t smoke. But the capsules seem to help. They certainly help his mood which is the most important thing. It’s hard to say if it’s had any effect on the disease. I started getting it for him about 3 years ago. He’s been on hospice twice because they thought he’d die, but his progression has been really slow so maybe it’s helping with that too.
