Ever go to the gym? Ever injure yourself at the gym? Pulled a muscle, strained a tendon, hurt your back? If so, you have an idea of what it’s like to be in regular, ongoing pain, at least for a little while.
Now imagine that all your life. That’s chronic pain.

Chronic pain can arise from a wide variety of ailments, from neurological disorders to injuries that just never healed right. And as those who have, it can attest, it can consume your entire life.
With chronic pain, you can never predict whether any given day will be easy and relatively pain-free, or one of the worst of your life. You’re anxious, and your muscles are always tense. You get depressed, irritable, and anxious. You eat too much or not enough. You’re always worried and exhausted. You’ve tried every piece of pain-reducing advice anyone has given you. You’ve come up with a million ways to adapt your life to the pain. You don’t sleep well. Chronic pain is one of the most frustrating and demoralizing conditions anyone can endure.
A substantial number (more than 62 percent, according to one clinical study) of people who use medical marijuana use it specifically for chronic pain.
Of course, the boundary between medical use and recreational use isn’t a hard and straight one, especially when it comes to chronic pain. Even on days when your pain level is low, you might be anxious about when it’ll come back, or depressed overall. The role of medical marijuana here is to boost your overall quality of life in addition to relieving pain. Think of it as increasing wellness rather than just treating sickness.
But sadly, many chronic pain patients find it extremely difficult to access the medicine they need.
First off, if you live in a state where it’s still illegal to grow, possess, or purchase Cannabis, this article isn’t going to be much help to you. The next best thing is access to medical marijuana; in that case, talk with your doctor about what’s available (and don’t be afraid to get a second opinion if you feel your doctor has outdated views on pot use).
But the easiest situation for any user is, obviously, living in a state where recreational Cannabis is legal to buy and sell. Then you can find the best dispensary in your area and talk with a qualified budtender about what strain might be best for you and how best to administer it. No doctor’s note, no burdensome bureaucracy – just walk into a dispensary and walk out with a painkiller beloved by pain sufferers the world over.
Chronic pain can really mess with your mobility – it keeps some people from getting around at all. What’s more, the unpredictability of your pain might make leaving the house a gamble. So finding a fast, reliable cannabis delivery service can be a saving grace for many patients.
But again – it’s not always easy. Promptness and speed aren’t exactly hallmarks of cannabis culture, and sometimes that really makes getting delivery assurance a problem. Many delivery services drop orders, take hours upon hours to arrive, or bring you the wrong product.
There’s at least one solution to the speed problem. GrassDoor, a company headquartered in Commerce, might just have the fastest cannabis delivery in Los Angeles. Through proprietary AI technology, GrassDoor guarantees delivery to its customers in an hour or less (if it’s longer, customers can get credits toward future purchases).
Chronic pain sufferers have enough worries, the cannabis chiefs at GrassDoor feel. The process of getting Cannabis ready for consumption if you’re smoking it, or of waiting for it to kick in if you’re eating it, is long enough. There’s no reason you should have to wait all day for delivery on top of that.
