I think it can help for physical pain but not psychical. Marijuana turns off brain filter which is responsible for filtering more or less important informations received by senses. So if feel pain in Your leg ,it will bo stopped. But if You are scared ,this will be increased but non working filter which decreases this fear. Thats why people say that You have to feel positive to smoke ,or smoke in good company or smoke when You are happy. Marijuana just enhance this what You are feeling.

I'm sure my brother has Lyme. I would bet we both got it as children. He however is a daily pot smoker and a total loser. He is paranoid and just plain nuts. some of that could be the lyme but I really can't imagine how the pot could help him be any better. I'm sure it just makes him worse.

I have an old boyfriend who was treated for cancer. He took it and it stopped his weight loss. He no longer has cancer and no longer takes cannabis.

There are people who have addictive personalities. They get addicted to everything from cold meds to coffee.

However, there is unfort. a trend to ban painkillers because people "might" become addicted. When I was a burn patient, I had as much morphein as I wanted. That was 12 years ago. I am not a morphein addict.

Some symptoms of Lyme, such as vomiting 15 times a day or pain that makes life unbearable, may be helped with pot. To avoid lung issues, I'd put it in brownies.

My husband used to enjoy the occasional smoke (pot), but ever since Lyme it makes his heart race too much...so he's given it up. Alas!!!
