Before I share my experiences, I’m going to state upfront that I am not here to debate the usefulness or safety of cannabis, nor about legalization. I’m a registered medical cannabis patient, and this is what I speak from as a patient.

I live with a solid amount of pain daily. It impairs my ability to walk, lift, grasp, bend, type, or hold things. When I’m out of the house, I use a cane. This week, I’m using the cane in the house also.

Why…..serious balance issues. I think it’s due to my regular cannabis usage. The pain recedes so I can walk and do things. But I think a side effect is loss of balance, feeling outside my body sometimes, slowed speech, memory and cognitive function.

I don’t vape cannabis anymore because it burned when I’d puff, and I developed throat and breathing problems from that. I use gummies, and sometimes RSO.

I have to use a good amount of cannabis to tame my pain levels. However, pain meds like Tramadol and similar do very little for me. Cannabis just works better for me, despitetheside effects.
