I've always found strange all the talk about using cannabis to manage pain.
I've smoked alot of weed, well before all those talks promoting THC for this.
It was my experience, and common knowledge in my circles at the time that THC made pain way, way worse, at least in resin form.
Probably simply because you'll tend to isolate things and focus on them very strongly when under the influence, it makes you notice pain more. I remember toking some days after a knee surgery and regretting badly having done it. So much pain I hadn't noticed...

This is a very strong contender for why it increases my pain I think, and possibly why it induces some other side effects. I'm ok with my injury and how its changed my life for the most part, but when using THC i'd laser focus in on the pain, then from the pain to the cause and from there to "how unfair it is etc."
Its hard to explain, but the work i've done to be ok with this disability is undone when I go near THC for some reason, and is when I tend to break down and lose my ability to be "stoic" about it for lack of a better word I suppose.
