Summary
Had ME/CFS with post-exertional malaise, body pain and memory problems, and had used cannabis heavily for years (vaping, edibles, oils). After being forced to stop, they said they were worse off: body pain, fatigue and PEM all worse, with only a short-term gain in memory and their other memory issues unchanged. They planned to return to cannabis as soon as they were able.
