Reader Remarks on:

Marijuana for Painful Peripheral Neuropathy?

Cannabis Drops

Jack Futerman, 6 Jul 2009 2:57 PM EST

Competing interests: None declared

In Canada there are drops available which concentrates the pain killer in cannabis. You put the drops in your nose and from there it travels via the capillaries in your nose directly to your brain. I will be starting this sometime next week for my idiopathic peripheral neuropathy. My pain specialist informs me that he has a patient suffering from MS who has benefited from these drops. I hope to resume my normal recreational activities once I experience the pain reduction this medication promises.
