>I find CBD about as useful as a sugar pill for pain treatment.

Same.

>THC amongst its most minimal side effects increases my pain, not decreases it.

I had green card before canada legalized and thc was my main go. Higher potency just meant less smoking needed.

Alcohol was what increased pain for me.

>but cannabis is not a miracle cure for every ailment.

For me, I cant do cannabis at all anymore; but you'd be surprised how effective it is as a medicine for a lot of people.

Nah, I mean even for me, it had some positive impacts, again, allowing me to eat for instance. So i'm not blind to its capacity to be a positive force for many conditions.

The problem is that it's really not a miracle cure without side effects for everyone which a lot of people are not willing to entertain. There are people who simply refuse to accept that cannabis is not always the best, or even a workable choice.

In my case for instance, despite the positive of an increased appetite, it increased my pain, it gave me heart palpitations, it gave me sinus tachyardia, etc. Despite this, cannabis users will argue with me and tell me I "must have been doing it wrong" or various other statements along those lines, rather than accepting that like any drug, the reaction and utility of it is down to the individual.
