Who in neuropathic pain uses 2400 Mgs of THCA and THC a day? How much would 2400 Mgs cost in a Ca license store? Smoking a joint will never work on neuropathy pain. But drinking it in Mgs will work. But who has 2400 Mgs of THCA and THC a day? What would the cost be? What was 1125 Mgs of Rx Oxycontin cost? Most neuropathic pain patients are told they can smoke mmj and it will help their pain. Many pain patients use Opiates and the two substance don't work together....the Opiates make the pain patient believe they need them. Cannabis medicine doesn't work the same. To help a neuropathic pain ask them how many Mgs of opiates do they use or once did, double the Mgs of THCA and THC and this will help the pain patient. These articles are written to get pain patients believing Doctors can help them. When Jazz Pharma bring a cannabis medicine to the pharmacy. Then we will hear cannabis medicine by way Big pharma works on pain control.

40 years of IDDM and an experience with neuropathy that is always near, sometimes startling, never really comforted.

Walking assistance helps when steel toe boots and concrete is on the agenda.

Mornings are the walking on legos experience, burning, general malaise from the knee down. No fun.

Pro medical device offers pain killers, mind numbing, addictive compounds that are just not a solution.

Less pain with a bright-eyed bushy-tailed motivation to get things done then some rest and relaxation later in the day.

Found some in CBD, more with THC, some with fungus.

Still trying to dial in the best mix.

Want the pain to be a more distant companion, guess we all do, no matter what it is…

Let me be clear smoking a joint or a pipe of hashish I use for break though pain control. It lasts for 25 minutes. But drinking it in Mgs is a long active medicine that lasts for 8-10 hours. Oxycontin was a long active Opiate. Roxicodon was a short active Opiate. I found a way to make long active cannabis medicine with olive oil and cannabis. Smoking a joint or hashish brings my cannabis level in my brain make to normal.
