My mother isn’t at the stage of needing ongoing pain relief, hopefully chemo and radio will be enough now surgery done and successful. I have chronic pain including nerve injury and a sleep disorder and trialled CBD/THC, and it made a huge difference where I actually didn’t notice any side effects but significant decrease in my pain medication and breakthrough needs and similar with my need for sleep medication; however whilst I was on a level even the police agreed didn’t cause impairment and thus was safe for me to drive on, if I’d stayed on it the THC would’ve shown in a saliva test at an MDT which would mean police would have no discretion under the law but to charge/fine me for driving under the influence, so whilst the cost was a significant barrier, given we’ve lost most of our buses and I have a level of reduced mobility I need to be able to drive and had to give it up.
My sleep specialist is/was an authorised prescriber as is my pain specialist, but until there’s both subsidies and an amendment in the law to allow people to drive on prescribed THC as long as function not impacted (like is standard with opiates and many other medications), I’m stuck with increased medication, increased pain and poor quality sleep as I can’t use it and my consultants all agree on my case I need the extremely low but present THC with the CBD to have a therapeutic effect.
I wouldn’t rule it out, just be aware of the costs and the laws around driving if like me you have to drive (and I’m not in rural area but still necessary)
