I haven’t used it but it is in stage 3 trials in the US. And there is solid clinical evidence of its success from UK research. Mostly, it seemed patients started off using Sativex with their current medications and the results showed medications to work better and pain to de rease. Patients used less of all pain related medications after a year or so, which I think was to show it’s not addictive.
