@Arn_007 I am so sorry to hear about your late friend's pain issues ..... the palliative care people keep telling us that there WON'T be pain at the end stage - but from what I've seen personally, this is NOT always so. :(
There are also quite a few 'strength levels' of THC and CBD that are available, one of which should suit most pain levels ... I wonder if they had been prescribed the correct dosage and/or mix, for their condition and pain level?
The highest dose (called 'feco') is actually a paste & a pinhead to rice sized bit can alleviate most pains better than opioids, without the fear of addiction.
As you say, everyone is different & their pain tolerance may be different as well .... there can be a bit of trial & error before the correct dosage can be worked out. :(
Here is an interesting read on cannabis oil strengths ...... explaining how a smaller bottle (but same 'strength') is effectively a bigger dose than from a larger bottle (as there is less oil in each dose!) Which makes sense, as we probably wouldn't reduce the amount of 'drops' that we take when swapping from a bigger bottle to the smaller bottle ..... so should get a better effect from the smaller bottle - tho our brain tells us that the cheaper price for the larger bottle is 'better'! But not necessarily so!

How To Calculate The Strength Of CBD Oil:
- Anything below 10 mg/mL (10%) is considered low strength.
- Anything between 15 and 30 mg/mL (15-30%) is medium strength.
- Anything between 30 and 60 (30-60%) is high strength.
- Anything else (60+%) is considered ultra-high-strength or classified as a concentrate.
