I've been experimenting the last couple of weeks with various sorts of cannabis: a hybrid indica/sativa oil blend in a vape pen; cookies; a CBD tincture under the tongue. None, as Dr. Smith rightly predicted, does anything for numbness. There may be some lessening of the tingling in my arms from the cookies, which are the strongest and most psychoactive of the delivery systems. But that might also just be the euphoria.

I'm more or less giving up on help from the stuff for my PN, but am still pursuing it as a sleep aid. Must say that a bunch of puffs on the vape pen really helped last night to keep me asleep. The CBD tincture, 15 drops under the tongue an hour before bedtime, is allegedly very good for this purpose but for me the jury is still out.

For anyone who's being helped by this stuff for neuropathic pain, I say fantastic.

I'll continue to report on progress.
