I have experimented on myself quite a bit with THC. It isn’t a pain reliever in my experience. I have had a headache or body pain, used some, and then I was just like “fuck, that’s all I can think about now.”
It’s great to distract from general malaise or boredom, but won’t help if anything painful is actually happening.
