I'm sorry, but I'd like to add a couple of cents of mine to your conversation. Medical marijuana has long been legal in our state and I know a couple of dispensers near my home. However, I regard marijuana smoking as fun most of the time, and the benefits of this use are offset by the harm and psychoactive effects of smoking. It is not what I needed. But I follow the news of medicine very closely and learned early on new options without THC in the composition - here I tried it myself and realized it was the perfect cure for pain and stress. I recommend focusing on these drugs as they are effective and have no side effects.
