Yea, no. It's a shitty painkiller rofl. It's more of an indirect effect. For me at least, it releases muscle tension and that extra relaxation is often enough to decrease the pain. But it can also work against you in that if you're anxious about the pain, it can amplify it and make it worse. So it really depends on the situation and the individual. Medical marijuana as an industry is kind of a fucking joke though. People shill it as curing cancer and straight make up bullshit.
