Has medical marijuana helped your nerve pain?

Hey there patrick17,
Please do not smoke marijuana products. Although that is the fastest way to get action it is also dangerous for your lungs. I just tossed all of the vapes and vape cartridges that had been in the bottom drawer for a few years. Your post reminded me.
Tinctures, to be effective are held underneath your tongue and absorbed right to your brain. This means that they do not go through your digestive system. The response is within 15 minutes with the under the tongue application. The digestive route can be 30-45 minutes or more, the product not as stable, and you are more likely to be subject to reactions.
So depending upon your distribution choice...you can judge how long it will take to feel relief and that becomes your starting point. By trying different dosages, e.g. 3:1 CBD/THC or 2:1 CBD/THC you will know when to use what. I use 3:1 for a lazy afternoon and 2:1 for bedtime. If I need to be particularly alert I use a 1:1 CBD/THC,,,, which I call my "wide-eyed and bushy-tailed" response.
If this kind of information helps you let me know.
May you be free of suffering and the causes of suffering.
Chris

Chris, I do hear what you are saying in regards to smoking. Not optimum to take any foreign substance into your lungs, smoke included. That being said, my wife Linda smokes at least 3 days per week. Surprisingly (to me at least) she takes in the smallest of puffs, that is all. One toke. That will relieve much of her pain for 2-4 hours, depending. Then she might take a 2nd toke sometime later. So the amount of smoke she inhales is on the low end. I bought her what some others had described as some of the best THC containing CBD oil, from which she noticed no effect. So she lost interest in that and continues smoking. She has never tried vaping as she is happy with smoking her MM. Not saying it's good to do, just another angle on it in regards to effectiveness for pain relief.. Best, Hank
