Weed.
ineffective for dental pain IMO
It was much nicer for me then opioids when I had a biklcycl colision, planted my face firmly into the pavement and had to have a number of roots canals and 3 hours of buccal surgery.
For me it just made it hurt weird, it didn’t make it not hurt. Maybe one of those things where not everyone responds the same way.
I had a similar experience when I got my wisdoms out. Took an edible and when it kicked in the pain felt so much worse. Or at least I felt more aware of it and became fixated on it.
That’s what opioids do to me; they just make it hurt weird in a way that doesn’t matter.
hurt weird and feel out of it in a way that was absolutely NOT fun
