In that case, Sativex would
probably not work for you either,

The amounts of different substances in street drugs can vary substantially, which is one of the arguments used against legalizing medical cannabis. Ironically, dispensaries use the
same argument for stocking/selling different strains of cannabis. Different strains work differently at controlling pain for different individuals, just as doctors use different mixtures of other pain medications or anti-depressants to help individual patients. It gets complicated.
Patients with MS (or other approved conditions for Sativex, depending on what country they're in) probably shouldn't make a decision/judgment about Sativex based on previous experience with street drugs.
