Chronic pain refers to any pain that lasts longer than six months, a nuisance that overstays its welcome. It’s not just the pain that gets under your skin; it’s the anxiety, fatigue, and sleep disturbances that tag along. Chronic pain can stem from an injury, an ongoing condition such as arthritis, or sometimes, without any apparent cause.
On the other hand, intractable pain is an even more stubborn adversary. It’s persistent, severe, and resists most medical treatments. Patients with intractable pain can feel trapped, experiencing an unending cycle of pain with no relief in sight.
The legal use of medical cannabis for chronic or intractable pain in Ohio has opened a new world of possibilities for patients. This alternative treatment has the potential to improve the quality of life for many who have lost hope.
Yes, you absolutely can. The Ohio Medical Marijuana Control Program, established in 2016, oversees the use of medical marijuana in the state. The program has a list of 25 qualifying conditions, including chronic and intractable pain, that can be legally treated with medical marijuana.

Perhaps the most significant benefit of medical cannabis for chronic pain is its effectiveness in alleviating discomfort. Medical marijuana offers substantial pain relief for many patients suffering from chronic back pain. Its cannabinoids interact with the body’s endocannabinoid system to reduce pain and inflammation.
From neuropathic pain to pain related to conditions like multiple sclerosis, fibromyalgia, back pain and arthritis, medical marijuana offers wide-spectrum pain management.
Opioids are often prescribed for chronic pain, but they come with a slew of side effects and the risk of addiction. Medical marijuana offers a safer alternative.
Chronic pain can severely hamper one’s quality of life. By effectively managing pain, medical marijuana can help patients sleep better, improve their mood, and boost overall functionality.
Compared to conventional pain medications, medical cannabis has a lower side effect profile. Common side effects such as dry mouth and increased appetite are often minor and manageable.
Another benefit of medical marijuana is the ability to personalize dosage and strains based on individual needs and responses.
