everyone wants me to try marijuanna for my pain instead of all the pain pills what should i tell them they say its healthier

It's not a very strong pain reliever compared to prescription pain meds.It's more of an anti-emetic (controls nausea)but again there are better ones available by prescription.Plus it's not legal most places.

depends on how severe. what type of pain are you having?

well i have a RA ans besides that i have chronic back pain due to my kidney disease i also suffer from migraines and i have joint pain all the time

for some people it eases the pain for almost all symptoms, for others not so much. for me personally its been more helpful regarding digestive symptoms and joint pain. for severe pain i would depend more on prescription drugs, but like i said, it affects everyone differently so you would have to experiment.
