Cannabis Drops

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.

Marijuana for PN

I have been through every avenue of treatment for peripheral neuropathy which effects mostly my thighs and lower legs. Nothing but "weed" has been effective. I believe part of the pain relief is simply a cognitve shift. The result however, is a drastic reduction of irritation agitation and depression. Antidepressants, especially SSRI's had disastrous effects-a manic episode, seizures, and eventual hospitalization - I warn averyone to avoid unsupervised use of these volatile drugs- marijuana is prediictable. Join NORML and remain sane!
