Just because the weed you got from your dealer didn't help with pain management doesn't mean anything. For medical purposes you need high CBD, low THC weed. Stoners want the opposite. You've never tried weed strains designed for medical purposes.
Marijuana vs. Opioids for Pain

THC for some pain, I agree it works for dull pain, soreness. Some pain, it can amplify. For chronic spinal and knee pain, structural pain with sharpness, opiates and clear tequila.
I was looking forward to tequila, but aliens sabotaged that with dream psychic attack, because they were too swamped for infiltration work last night, all this gangstalking costs them their wills and finite resources.
The variety of pain is as much as the variety of anything. People overdose on alcohol and street drugs. For pain management, a variety should be used prudently to decrease body load and tolerance.

i've had medical weed since day one, weed isn't a substitute and really works no better than ibuprofen in a lot of the cases, on the other hand it does make the pain more tolerable due to the mental state it puts you in.
i fucking hate druggies and stoners, a bunch of fucking losers and there's a lot of propaganda that comes from those sort of people about the benefits of this shit, i've been smoking for 20+ years and am heavily involved with the scene and still feel this way.
thc or cbd isn't a substitute for opiates, if you are in serious pain you need to have prescription medications as even the most potent pot just doesn't have the same effect, the guy with MS should know what i am talking about here, it helps a little but by no means is it a substitute.
that said, the biggest benefit of pot for medical reasons i can see is in the dealing with withdrawal symptoms, it certainly makes life much easier when coming off the pharmaceuticals and i honestly can't say enough about the effect that pot has when your trying to come of the really hard stuff like fentanyl, thanks to the things pot can actually do i was able to quit my fentanyl patches 2 whole cycles early, cold turkey…not going to lie, it still sucked but was manageable. …i think there's more to this end of things than to actual pain relief…it's not a very good pain killer in of itself.

My back is all fucked up from military service and from genetically being gifted with a fragile back. I took vicodin without getting arrested or ODing for over ten years. It worked great and didn't impair me or cause any health issues. Then my doctor decided to become a pussy and stop prescribing it because I don't need it. Then my life went to shit basically, because I'm always in horrible pain.
Doctors and congressmen have encouraged me to try marijuana because it's the hip new thing. It doesn't work. Yes, it makes living in constant pain more enjoyable just like it would any other activity. But it isn't legal, it doesn't make me able to enjoy doing things I used to do when I had working pain meds, and it also interferes with my professional life as most employers still see it as a drug. With vicodin I could carry it around and consume it in plain view of everyone and not be judged.
I buy percs and vicodin on the street now and just hope that it's not being stolen by some nice little old lady's grandkid. I also hope it's not laced with fentanyl and won't kill me, but that's less of a concern to me because being dead probably hurts less than what I live with on a daily basis when I have no pain pills.
I fucking hate the US healthcare system.
THC/CBD may help people dealing with certain kinds of pain, but it isn't a replacement for opiates.

Opioids or marijuana? Really?
I heard a good ole' bottle of Man The Fuck Up (MTFU) works relatively well, and doesn't make you weak and stupid. Plus it's free.

..you're not alone.
your story mimics mine but i'm a recovering cancer patient…the whole cycle of being shorted meds we actually need and the quality of our life going to shit because of it is exactly the same.
i blame druggies and the whole coddling culture of our society, let fucking junkies overdose and fucking die if they can't handle their shit, people like you and me shouldn't have to live in pain and have the quality of our lives turned to fucking shit because some scumbag druggie picks up a heroin needle when they are told they can't have anymore drugs from the doc…. i have legitimate pain that hampers my life and makes it impossible for me to work fulltime and enjoy the things that makes life worth living, i would love nothing more than not to be a slave to some pills and having to fool with prescriptions and doctors and all of the rest, it's a burden and time consuming…i have better things to do with my time and money than going to dr's and paying for prescriptions ffs.

You should know what a pharmacophore is: a part of a molecular structure that is responsible for a particular biological or pharmacological interaction that it undergoes. Familiar, effective, and widely used analgesics (pain-relieving compounds) share a common pharmacophore. As far as I know, marijuana does not share this pharmacophore. I suspect that any perception of analgesic properties from the use of marijuana is just an illusion. I suspect that those who originally characterized marijuana as an analgesic did so to disguise their agenda – legalization for recreational use. (I believe that the recent wide-spread rallying cry for its legalization is premised on misinformation.)

Pot is good for pain and not Physically addictive like opioids but is mentally addictive not as mentally addictive as tobacco.
