yeah, I have terrible back pain which comes from a really bad car accident when I was a teeneager, the discs between my vertebrae are very thin now from the damage,sometimes it even hurts to walk or sit down for any period of time. Smoking weed helps out a ton,I hate using RX drugs because they dont really work for me,my body has a high tolerance to them. but after a few hits of the good ole green I usually feel pretty good pain wise and dont notice it at all,by the time the first bowl is gone there is no pain felt.
