Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
Medical marijuana can help in decreasing the pain sensation and muscle stiffness due to fibromyalgia. But it should be used only under medical supervision as it can be misused and can be habit forming. The efficacy can also decrease with time.
I hope this answers your query.

Wishing you good health.
Regards.
