I have tried it and it amazes me. It relieves my pain and all discomfort, my vision and what really blows me away is that I have more muscle strength! I can walk where moments before taking it, I could not. I've been in a months long flare (mine last from 3-7 months!), part of which I have to use my hands to move my leg a couple of inches, or to put it on a flat pillow, and after taking it, I am able to move it myself.
It helps the breathlessness, too. Though I'd recommend using a long water pipe or vaporizer so it's easy on the lungs.
Sadly, I live in a state where it's not legal, so I can't take it. It's a shame, because it helps just everything! I was scared to death to try it the times that I did, (I tried it at age 53!), but I was desperate. I researched it out the whazoo, and found it clashes with no meds and basically there's no downside except the whopper of it being illegal.
So, back I go to being on a ton of highly dangerous meds that just aren't working anymore. Blah.
I just hope that someday soon it'll be legal so we all can get some relief!
