Yes, Bert. That plus a number of other ailments, according to the Health Canada website (tho it's sketchy at times??? - kinda like the Bible tells you one thing here and another thing there) and the hundred or so other websites I have been to... tho, many of those don't support their claims with peer reviewed research so I put little stock in them. I'd say there are only about 20 of the sites I have visited that I feel comfortable trusting. Most are... "My uncle cured his cancer with 5 doses of hemp oil..." or some such. Bullshit. If I see it in a peer reviewed medical journal, fine. Otherwise, it wastes my time.

In the end, I am willing to proceed with getting the prescription and then getting more questions answered before I actually decide to try it. I think (hope) my doc will say yes. Fer gosh sakes, I have refused to take a lot of meds that have been prescribed for me over the years just on face value. I still have four pain killer containers that I never took any of after 4 separate operations. 'Temporary severe pain' doesn't phase me. I just ignore it. But, this chronic pain that 'they' prescribe pharmos for is getting me down after 4 years of it because I refuse to take them. I figure the Mary Jane is 'natural' and I wanna go one step further to see if it might help without hindering. If yes, great. If no, I'll just not bother with it at all. I'll just learn to hurt 24/7/365. Heck, I have been doing for about 5 years and I ain't gonna live that much longer so.... so what?
