[QUOTE=Swmnupstrm;655014]What effect does MJ have on your pain??? I have not had a lot of success with it, but perhaps I am not using enough.

*** More likely, not the correct strain. Two basic classes of MM -- indica and sativa. Indica is the strain most people use for pain. Within that strain there are different clones and crosses. It took me about a year to finally find a couple what generally work well for me. I went to a lot of social events where one could pick up samples. Was a "Judge" once for a "Whose MM is best" event -- primarily so I could sample many different varieties.






I also wonder, it it more effective if ingested instead of smoked??

*** The best way for me to ingest it is by vaporizing it. Special machine that heats the MM enough that the THC is turned into vapor which is inhaled. I also like tinctures (non-alcohol glycerin-based). But smoking is the quickest and easiest way to medicate.



Any opinions??

*** Given the fact that the AMA recently changed their position on it (something along the lines of "there may be some therapeutic uses and it should be studied more") and the fact that Canadian studies showed something like a 34% positive response by neuropathy patients, it really couldn't hurt. But do your own due diligence... every state is different.
