Would you try Marijuana gum for pain relief?

As of June, 29 states (and Washington D.C) have legalized marijuana for medicinal use,(NCSL). That means millions of people suffering from chronic pain have access to a new way to relieve their suffering.

Some studies have already shown that inhaling marijuana can relieve chronic nerve pain. One study revealed that the pain symptoms dropped slightly when participants inhaled a marijuana vapor three times per day

This study showed that the actual pain relief was only marginally better than those who took a placebo, and some participants experienced a headache, dry eyes, numbness and a cough.
