My brother has an marijuana addiction and cannot find a solution to his insomnia/back pain. Please help.?

So my brother came back from college and my parents found out he has been using his medical marijuana license to buy marijuana for his back pains and his insomnia that almost seems incurable on account of the 15+ different kinds of medications he has tried. He knows his drugs very well and does constant research on what is prescribed to him. Everything but marijuana in his case is dangerous or bad to him. For example: He was prescribed ambien, which he read causes nightmares in his dreams. On other medications, common side effects specifically written on the bottle are seizures and increased diabetes, etc. He has tried all kinds of prescribed drugs that the doctor gives him but he claims that none work, and he is afraid of the side effects that most of the medications are said to give. He says he will give up on the marijuana if he can find something that works. He isn’t using it as of now because my parents are not in favor of him using marijuana. They think he is using it just to get high. What can you guys recommend for my brother to help cure his back pains and his insomnia? He constantly cannot fall asleep night after night. My family is falling apart and I want my family to be together again. Please help my brother. Thanks for reading and I hope to get some helpful answers. No hurtful comments please.

He has also tried other natural substances such as melatonin. I am curious to see what effect kava has on him. Anyway please help. Thank you.

What did they think he was doing with his medical marijuana license?
Wow – that is sorry that a family would fall apart over a little marijuana. How’d he do with his grades?
He needs to explain the savings over not having to buy 15+ types of meds, work with his Dr. and do well in school.

    marijuana is psychologically addictive, you cannot experience physical withdrawal if you stop smoking weed.

    convince him to stop liking it, good luck.

    Marijuana will cure his insomnia, and help him relax… just let him smoke!

    if you are worried let him smoke but moniter him. if he gets lazy and starts slacking off at work or school get him off it.

    There is no physical addiction to marijuana, also no proven long term harmful side effects. It is only frowned upon because the government had condemned it to be a harmful drug. However, for his insomnia he can try using sleeping pills, but they do become addicting. And for his back pains, a chiropractor usually does the trick as long as there was no surgery involved.
