Neuropathy Pain at Night: What helps?

Has anyone successfully tried THC inn other forms than smoking? I have had NP since 2009! I have tried everything mentioned except THC via a pipe. I did not fall prey to the electronic-mechanical snake-oil salesmen and their devices "guaranteed to cure". I am 92 and stopped smoking when I was 36. I have healthy lungs and am apprehensive about inhaling any thing into them. Except for the neuropathy, I am in good health. Many years ago I did try THC in a mild pill form. I only had burning toes then. However, it did not help, then. Thanks for any advice.

Good evening @skipneuroathy. Congratulations on being 92 and having healthy lugs along with general good health.
I don't know how long ago you tried THC in pill form. However, the options have changed a lot since I began using medical cannabis for SFN (small fiber neuropathy) about 11 years ago. What I have learned is that THC alone just doesn't do the job. Number 2, smoking and vaping are not the best ways to use cannabis made directly from the "flower. "
For example, I use tinctures and topicals only. My choice for Tinctures is 2:1 CBD/THC
at bedtime or during a long social evening. A 1:1 CBD/THC Tincture is great to have some
get up and go in the morning. Just for education, you can read the product information on http://www.papaandbarkley.com. They also produce a topical balm in 3:1 CBD/THC as well as
1:3 CBD/THC.....one for chronic pain and the second one for acute pain. With tinctures, you can dissipate the medication through the skin under your tongue. In so doing, you eliminate going through the digestive system which can take a long time.
Regarding dosing, it might be helpful for you to take a look at this site. https://projectcbd.org/what-is-cbd/cbd-dosage/
May you be free of suffering and the causes of suffering.

Yes. I use toffee candies or they have tea or vaping. There are other edibles also. It really helps me sleep at night. I even get some cool dreams, JK it really works.

I have lots of neuropathy in my upper bk, neck and scalp. 22 yrs. Lyrica is a prescription for nerve pain. If u start taking it, be sure to start out at 25mgs which is lowest dose. When that dose is not enough to relieve the pain, go to 50mgs. Do u have a pain Dr? He or she would know how to prescribe Lyrica.
I am on medical cannabis and take Indica type of THC. It comes as a thick serum that is loaded into a syringe. At bedtime. I put the amt of 1/2 grain of rice on the end of a tongue blade and put it up against the inside wall of my mouth so it will be absorbed. Some ppl put it on peanut butter and take it that way. Don’t take more than that. The state you are in hopefully has medical cannabis. You never have to smoke it.
