Pain does such and seeking relief is definitely the way to go. Without a doubt some need THC to get the benefit they need, and THC can be an excellent tool for pain relief. But some get what they need from CBD or at least a very high CBD flower or tincture that has small amounts of other cannabinoids including THC. I think people should try everything they can and see what works best for them. The reason some avoid THC is because it can have negative affects when it comes to mood and cognition. But many others do experience cognitive benefits, including elevated mood and focus. This is all the more reason why people should experiment with different cannabinoids and see what works best for them.
