I'm not a pot smoker but I have read that it relieves nerve pain. So when it got so bad I couldn't stand the pain anymore I smoked it. I will tell you that it killed my pain for 5 hours but I was so high I didn't like that feeling at all. But I understand how this marijuana plant can help people in cronic pain it does work. It would be great if there was a way to take away the high and just have the pain relieving properties, the world would be a better place for us PNers.

There is a strain that has been developed in Colorado (where medical marijuana is legal) that has little or no THC so no 'high'. The 10 yr old son of someone I know uses it there for epilepsy control. *admin edit*

Agreed; it's all about the strain/variety or blend of strains. Those for pain relief are generally lower in THC and higher in CBN/CBD.
What Medical Marijuana strain is best for your condition, Sativa or Indica? Doc

Did you smoke the whole joint? I have no experience but others have said that just a few puffs and it takes the edge off. You are not looking to get high just to take the edge off.

With some of today's strains (vs. what was available in the '60s & '70s) one hit/puff can be one toke over the line for someone cannabinoid-naïve.

I figured that you would say that. The people I've heard say that a puff or two is enough to take the edge off the pain are not from the 60's and 70's. They are from today's world. In saying that, they probably know what strains to use. These are people on forums I go on. And it does not work for everybody either.

I have no idea about strains of pot , but I got some relief from chronic pain just for a little while smoked 2 big puffs off a joint and the pain went away in less than a minute.I believe people suffering from PN shouldn't be made a criminal for pain . Is this still the Stone Age or what? All I know is that it worked for me and I don't judge people for trying to better there quality of life. It nice to know that smoking a puff off a joint works for my chronic pain and if that makes me a criminal so be it. Peace !
