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.
