Marijuana and Neuropathy

Thank you!

I use it for anxiety. Works pretty well - depends on how you use it. I like the gummies which have a delayed reaction but last a while. Calms me. I also have a vape pen but it is really too strong and hard to control an inhale.

I used marijuana frequently for years & switched to medical cannabis but over time it started to actually make my neuropathy worse. My feet stiffened & the numbness increased dramatically. Alcohol also cause the same thing. I wish I could do both but unfortunately I can’t do either any longer.

I’m sure you hate the restrictions put on your life too. I know I do. Frankly I’d like to be in my 40’s again but fat chance of that happening. In the meantime I’ll continue with the non medical grade of marijuana I’ve been using - gummies seem to work best.

Thank you for this information. I am signed up for the webinar!

Are you sure it wasn't the neuropathy itself getting worse, rather than the cannabis causing it to worsen? All my doctors told me the neuropathy in many similar cases,(I had a lot of chemo) and it worsens in time.

I've had to switch to more potent cannabis strains as years went on because the pain became debilitating. I use cannabis to be able to function through pain. Hope you have found relief.

I’m only using gummies these days & the numbness & stiffness gets worse after a couple of hours. I agree that my neuropathy has gotten worse over time but the gummies actually do have a negative effect. Stronger stuff may lighten my mood but my feet aren’t any happier.
I wish it wasn’t so!

I have PN and I use marijuana for the symptoms. I have started to grow my own marijuana so I know what exactly is in the buds.

I also take 2700 mg of Gabapentin but I am going to ween off of this pharmaceutical and try a supplement called Stonehenge Dynamic Nerve. It should arrive on Saturday, so we will see...

I also take Cat's Claw supplements, a vine from the Amazon used for centuries to sooth arthritis.
