I just finished watching a program on this drug and they say is does work since it disconnects the receptors from the nerves temporarily. Works for around 4 hrs. smoked and 6 if you remove the active ingredients cooking it in butter and then using the butter to make like cookies, brownies, cake, etc. You can get a card through your Dr. from the state for $66.00.

Not a current user but can honestly say that it definitely has a numbing effect, ah my youth, as much as I can remember of it that is.
