A member asked:

I use 6 different meds for my idiopathic pain and depression. i live in u.k. would cannabis be a useful add on with my other meds ? for my pain.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Maybe.: while cannabis can be used to help pain and mood, CBD CANNABIDIOL IS THE COMPONENT MOST HELPFUL FOR INSOMNIA, ANXIETY AND MUSCLE SPASMS. THERE is little psychoactive or mood -elevating property but if you feel better physically, your mood should improve.
