The problems with eating weed products are getting the dosage right and the time it takes for the effects to be felt.

I'd agree with herb that a vaporizer would be best for medical use - if only because it`s better for the lungs than other methods of smoking.

Weed may well be a good pain reliever with minimal physiological side effects but one side effect it does have is it gets you stoned, lol.
Better than wrecking your liver though.

Your dad might try different varieties, sativa, indica, whatever, he might find something that makes an acceptable compromise providing pain relief without getting him too boxed. A lot of people consider hash to be mellower than weed.

Taking any drug , if you fight the effects you tend to have a worse time.

I do know some people that just shouldn't get stoned, it just doesn't work well for them, just like some people shouldn't drink alcohol.

A friend of mine thought he was allergic to weed or something, he never enjoyed it, just felt monged out and red eyed. Years later he realised he got an unpleasant reaction to indicas, and could enjoy toking sativa- all the weed we got back then tended to be SK#1 or NL (one a ind/sat hybrid, the other indica).

Trial and error is probably needed as anyone's reaction could be different.
