Hi Danielle @daniellef, since I don't have any pain associated with my neuropathy I have never thought about seeking help through using medical cannabis. I think it can help reduce pain symptoms but I have no personal experience and no medical background or training. I did see an interesting video on Mayo Clinic's Medical Professionals hub with Michael Bostwick, M.D., Mayo psychiatrist, called "Blurred Boundaries: The Therapeutics & Politics of Medicinal Marijuana." that may give you some insight.

i think that medical cannabis is worth a try. I tried it because I had read Of success for some. I was on it for three months and gastric side effects kicked in before any pain relief. In the state where I live you must be certified by a physician and then you are under the supervision of an experienced pharmacist. I was using three forms of the cannabis , starting with very low doses and gradually increasing. The program here requires close monitoring and i received that.
