"The only thing that relieves the pain is cannabis." That message came from Jeffrey from Virginia, who is still experiencing debilitating pain from a car accident about 10 years ago.

Sandy from Massachusetts similarly reached out to say that the drug has been a "lifesaver" in addressing her fibromyalgia.
