Medical marijuana vape for pain relief from Peripheral Neuropathy?

Good morning @mcd123, how are you doing? It is nice to see you posting again. Let me see how I can help or even if I can help today. Perhaps I don't understand what you are asking. There is really no mixing of tincture and topical except that you might use both products at certain times during the day like morning and bedtime. But then, you also might use a calming tincture in the afternoon. The actual products are different. A topical is often called a "balm". That just means heavy cream or lotion that you rub on your hands or feet. So I may use a topical after my walk or exercises. Bedtime is mandatory for my hands because I am replacing some gabapentin. My two topicals are 3:1 CBD/THC for chronic pain and 1:3 CBD/THC for acute pain.
Tinctures are liquids in a dropper bottle that are placed in your mouth and held under your tongue for a minute or so to make sure the medical cannabis goes right to your brain. If you swallow it, it takes quite a while to get through your digestive system. They come in many different CBD/THC dosages. For example, I use a 2:1 CBD/THC tincture at bedtime. Then in the morning, I usually use a 1:1 CBD/THC tincture which I call my "get up and go...girl" dosage. The second measurement I use is how much I fill the dropper....1/3, 1/2, or by mg if the dropper has markings to measure it.
If might be helpful for you to take a look at the Papa and Barkley websites just because they explain the products and their purposes quite well. They have two sites...one is for CBD only which are legal everywhere. The other includes products with THC included in them.
And now for the mystery. What is "see cream"? I have never heard of that one.
May you have happiness and the causes of happiness.
Chris

Hey Art hope you’re doing well. To add to Art’s wonderful explanation vaping only lasts a short time and many of us who suffer with PN will vape throughout the day as needed. Your statement about needing to wait until a specific time for your next hit intrigued me too? I have found that over time my pain control has increased, my mmj use has too but I no longer get buzzed, which is fine with me. You need to experiment to find your sweet spot and it took me a year.

Hi Chris. Thanks for the response. I am sorry that I did not check my message before sending. The "see cream" was a typo. I live in Florida. Due to Florida being a strickly medicinal thc state i cannot get any balm stronger than 1:1 ratio of cbd and thc. I need something stronger. I want to stick with the topicals. My next thought was to mix a tincture with higher dose of CBD into the 1:1 balm. I want to try the ratio you have talked about, 3:1 and 1:3. Im just having a hard time getting there. Ive also been told that since I dont have a gallbladder the tincture in and of itself cant be metatisized by my body. Any thoughts you or anyone may have to help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
