That's...an opinion I respectfully disagree with actually. Also, if the pain is worth medicating, there are going to be days you won't be able to work because of the pain, in my experience.

Also, it's worth noting here (though I see the OP is in Canada, where laws may differ) that medical marijuana can adversely affect your civil right to carry firearms, obtain federal employment, and other consequences. Tread carefully.

It is legal for medical purposes on a federal level and will be legal recreational in the next year or two. legislation will be in the spring of 2017.
as a Canadian, I don't worry about gun rights or lack of

thanks

After a motorcycle crash this summer, I had a broken pelvis and shoulder. Here I am months later with pain. I would like an honest opinion without the politics on pain management with MM.
I am not interested in how stone one can get, just pain relief

thanks for any and all opinions!

there are also topical creams made with marijuana that work wonders for muscles and bones close to the surface (e.g. your shoulder. Not sure about the pelvis though)

Other topical creams like arnica can be palliative, as well.

I have been using Arnica for years -- good stuff. But recently a friend gave me some of the other stuff for my arthritis in my right hand. To my surprise, it worked noticeably better than Arnica (and that is saying something). Just need to wait for medical marijuana to be available locally and I'll switch.
