Summary
A person with ME/CFS described pain that cannabis flower relieved for only about 30 minutes on their worst days, and said they could walk their dog only on good days. Adderall, prescribed for them, put them to sleep for hours even at half a pill, and they quit experimenting after 30 mg. They later said "It helped me tremendously."
