    That’s fair. Everyone has their own experience. Personally for me if I’m in pain and take some edibles, I am aware there is pain, but my brain doesn’t care about it. Certainly an interesting experience IMO

      Oh, funny, I just replied to the person above you about this. That’s exactly it. It’s a ‘pain modifier’ as my neurologist calls it.

      Being in pain and caring less about it is not as good as not being in pain, but it’s better than being in pain and it being at the forefront constantly.
