Hello,

Yes, methamphetamine drug will give those with vascular disease SEVERE pain. It very likely will also cause loss of a limb through gangrene.

While most people think cannabis drug is effective on pain, it has been difficult to demonstrate this in medical trials. There is a distraction from pain, and that might be good enough.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Matt Wachsman
