Has medical marijuana helped your nerve pain?

Posted by patrick17 @patrick17, Feb 12, 2021

I have tried medical marijuana for the nerve pain in my arm and hands, but so far nothing I’ve tried has provided much pain relief. I have tried vape pens and tinctures with various combinations of CBD and THC. Just wondering if medical marijuana has helped anyone’s nerve pain. Thanks.

How do you use RSO?
Vape it? Or Eat it?

Medical marijuana here in Texas has not helped me with my PN. I do not know what strains they are using as that could be the reason why.

I have found that specific strains when smoking the flower help with my PN and others do not. I try to find strains with CBG(I think you can get CBG separate) and that helps. CBG says it helps with neuropathy and I agree from my experience.

Sativa is for the mind - Indica is for the body.

Hi which delivery system did you use and what strain? Has it continued to work on your foot neuropathy?

I use an edible made from Indica with some kava mixed in. Eating provides a heavy-handed calming of the nervous system and eases nerve pain and symptoms enough to get deep sleep. It takes 1 to 2 hours to kick in and lasts at least six to eight hours, so take it before you need it. I have been doing this for the last ten years. I do not take it daily because then I would build tolerance and would need to eat more and more to get the same effects. I take it every third night, alternating with nothing or Benadryl, or oxycodone, or other OTC sleep aids like Tylenol PM. This way, I will not overdo any one thing. Sativa keeps me awake and does not touch the pain at all.
