@dabertime Pot generally does not work for me. But the few times is has, I've noticed something about pain.

I have dentures now, but as my teeth got worse, of course I had sore spots and painful areas. But just like listening to a conversation in a crowded room, sometimes you're able to tune some things out, especially if they're low-level and constant.

Some people use pot to help with pain. I didn't exactly find that experience. For me, it was like pot reset my sensation of pain, so that things which I was aware of hurting at the time, like a current headache, might dim, while other pains I'd forgotten about, like a low dull ache that I'd learned to tune out would be noticed all over again as if fresh.

Your story reminded me of that.
