@notborntoburn My brother has had back surgery and he walks with a cane. He has had issues for years with his back and legs. He gets neuropathy in his legs and has been known to fall down at times. The other problem he has had is when he goes to sleep at night and he’s just gets ready to fall asleep his feet cramp so bad. He tried many meds that didn’t work. He is married and has two sons. The three of them did a lot of research and presented it to my brother. They told him that marijuana would work for that. At first he was thinking no he didn’t want to do that. His sons both graduated with honors from Wake Forest. His wife is smart with business matters. He does use marijuana. He vapes it before he goes to bed and it helps with the cramps. Before my brother retired he was taking morphine extended release. He weaned off of that because he didn’t want to be on that forever. As I nurse I use to work in Hospice and one thing I learned about pain meds is that what works for one may not work for another. They have their standard meds. Some people can take a 5 in pain others a 2. My brother does vape a small amount before sleep and it helps him a lot.

I have legal homegrown marijuana that I toasted and chopped up to use in edibles. I ordered some CBD gummies and I am going to take a gummy with some marijuana and see if I can land on the proper amount of CBD/THC that will make the neuropathy in my feet feel better. They are numb, not painful. I read that the two used together work best for my situation.
