Brief Answer:
Medical marijuana can be used for management of chronic pain
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thank you for trusting HealthcareMagic,
You can definitely use medical marijuana for managing chronic pain and muscle stiffness only if other pain management options have failed to give adequate results.
You need to follow up with your treating physician to get the prescription for medical marijuana. California has legalized the use of medical marijuana.
Once your doctor has given you the prescription, medical marijuana can be bought from marijuana dispensaries.
Side effects of using Medical marijuana include dry mouth, increased appetite, anxiety, lung infections/bronchitis (if smoking marijuana).
