I should clarify that I am not completely against Sativex. I generally support anything that has the potential to help people however, my primary issue with Sativex is that the cost prevents it from reaching many who could benefit from it. It's already a problem in the UK where there are many complaints from MS patients (for which it is approved) who can successfully obtain a prescription from their neuro but since the NHS doesn't cover it, they have to pay 550 British Pounds (or $900 USD) out-of-pocket for a 4-6 week supply. That's a problem.

Minnesota is about to become the 22nd state in the US to legalize medical marijuana. Patients will be permitted access in pill, oil, or vapor form, not smoke however since it is generally less healthy.

You're concerned about liquid CO2? Ethanol is the alcohol in liquor. I won't get into a debate about propylene glycol; I'll just point out that it's probably in more products you're already using than you realize. Anyone who uses an e-cigarette type vaporizor as a delivery method is going to be breathing ethanol and propylene glycol (which is one of my issues with the cussed things, but that's not what we're talking about).

If they bother you, be sure to find out how any hemp oil you get is "derived"/extracted. http://www.wikihow.com/Make-a-Medical-Marijuana-Oil http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KZXGH6mYr3Y And how do these methods test/ensure purity and potency, and deliver measured dosage? I've yet to see that with ANY "natural" MMJ products, and that's my point. Doctors are used to medications they can prescribe precisely. You should realize by now from my previous posts, I'm not the opposition here. Doc

Hi Beatle,
Thank you for posting this one, I think it's an important thread to help with pain, unfortunately it's absolutely illegal in this country. I have tried it though, smoking and is once made brownies with the proper weed and it didn't help with my pain at all, chilled me out maybe but that's it no pain relief, I haven't tried it since. As you said yourself what might work for one may not work for another. Best of luck with it yourself, I hope it gives you some relief. I would like to see legalised in this country but Holy Catholic Ireland nope, it would be a sheer disgraces to allow this madness into the country! I'm taking the p**s out of priest and their law abiding ways except when it come to children of course? All the best, S Quote:

Hope the plant works for you. I have PN and I know it does for me. However not everyone gets the relief. Let us all know how you do. All information helps those seeking answers. ginnie

The plant you tried may have had more THC (the chemical that induces "highs") than CBD (the chemical that treats pain). Some strains are now being bred specifically with low THC and high CBD.
It appears that, as in some other countries, while cannabis/marijuana is illegal in Ireland, hemp is legal (even though they're the same plant). Some here (review the thread) are looking into hemp oil, which may contain the CBD for pain, without the THC. I don't know if this is an option for you, but I think it's worth looking into. http://hempworld.com/Hemp-CyberFarm_.../irelandh.html hemp in ireland Doc

Very interesting thread and thanks to the original poster for bringing it to everyone's attention. I don't have pain associated with my IPN but tons of numbness and tingling. Since I live in California it shouldn't be tough for me to get a medical MJ license. Then I can at least do some research in the stores to see if any carry the CBD product. If it helps with the tingling alone it'll be worth it.

Please keep us updated on that. I've not heard of anything yet that substantially helps tingling & numbness from PN.
