CBD / THC

Hi - I am wondering if anyone has had success being prescribed “medical” marijuana? I live in NYS where recreational use is not legal. I have been having horrible insomnia, and back pain and I’m wondering if it’s actually the miracle drug everyone says it is.. CBD is legal for purchase but it doesn’t have THC in it. I’m NOT pregnant, and I will be finished breastfeeding before I try it.

I’m not worried about getting a prescription, that’s actually very easy. I’m wondering if people feel it’s a safe and beneficial treatment.
