I've had some really severe back pain in just the last four days or so, and I'm sad to say I've not had any cannabis with which to treat it or I'd know the answer to this from a personal perspective. Back when I was smoking in the summertime, I still found that OTC meds like Advil or Motrin did the trick on headaches or muscle pain better than weed did, but I didn't smoke much weed even when we had it on hand back in the summer.

I finally went to the doc today for my pain and got some heavier-duty prescriptions. Stuff that I won't go into here because it's not cannabis-related. But I'll have to rely on the legally prescribed approach since it's all I have.
birdgirl73 Reviewed by birdgirl73 on . Back pains and marijuana.. About six months ago or so, I was riding in a vehicle that was involved in an accident, and something happened and I now have random back pains. At first I tried taking OTC pain relievers, and nothing worked. I next tried a few prescription pain killers, (lortab, oxycontin, darvocet..and maybe a couple of others) and nothing really seems to do much except give me a weird un-likable feeling and nearly eliminates my appetite..Now Cannabis..it's another story. I've always enjoyed the feeling from Rating: 5
