Buddy of mine has something akin to diabetic nerve pain. He has tried everything. The cortisone and NSAIDs are starting to damage his kidneys.

Should he turn to pot as a last resort? Does anybody have any anecdotal evidence that marijuana works for nerve pain?

TIA. This is my best baw, and he is really suffering.

Everyone says it helps but there isn’t science supporting it,so everyone will say it’s snake oil

It's definitely a painkiller so I can see it working for nerve pain.

If he wants to go the legal route, CBD oil can help decently for pain... until politicians get their head out of their asses and legalize MJ.

Go low carb. Start water fasting. Inflammation go bye bye.

If you were suffering would you try it?

I have anecdotal evidence of the "healing" powers of MJ. It definitely works better than any otc pain meds and would probably offer him relief of some sort.


ETA: Don't let some people deter him from MJ. People will scream from the rooftops about pot while their wives are hooked on antidepressants and adderall.

Gabapentin or Lyrica didn't help?

Why not test it out with him? Take a cheap flight to one of the free states and try out a bunch of strains.

high CBD/low THC is the way to go

apply as a cream to the affected areas

stuff works

In all seriousness, he has tried that. I have seen him go low/no carb for weeks at a time. And when this dude signs on to a program, he follows it ruthlessly.



He should look serious into long-term fasting. Search for the Snake Diet on YouTube. The dude seems crazy but the info is there. Basically you drink 1 to 2 liters of Snake Juice (salt water mixture) each day and don't eat. When you thin you can't go anymore eat a small meal and start over.

Start taking Curcumin.
"Curcumin is the main active ingredient in turmeric. It has powerful anti-inflammatory effects and is a very strong antioxidant."

"Most of the studies on this herb are using turmeric extracts that contain mostly curcumin itself, with dosages usually exceeding 1 gram per day."

That’s really sad that he’s so painful that he’s looking to end it all by smoking poisonous marijuana

First off, yes on the MJ. It damn near cured my wife from a decade of chronic nerve pain. She also eliminated sugar and other inflamatory foods. Have him get on the Keto diet and smoke up at night. Report back in about a month.

Yes to whole plant usage for BOTH his diabetes and nerve pain. There is a correlation that is not understood yet between cannabinoids and diabetes. You or your friend have undoubtedly seen references to this if you Googled diabetes and pot.

Europeans and Asians are studying it currently (talking controlled scientific studies). NIDA controls all pot research in the USA (National Institute on Drug ABUSE so they will not allow any studies to determine benefits. US studies must theorize a negative and disprove it. Backwards work.)

Tell him to smoke weed, studies show it cures everything. I broke my leg and healed it by smoking every night. Big pharma has been holding this shite down for too long.

So literally nobody else here has ever had nerve related pain exacerbated by marijuana? I find this highly improbable, and I assure y'all I'm the most pro marijuana person here. I absolutely endorse trying it, but not gonna pretend it's a sure cure. Pretty sure CBN is where it's at here, not CBD.

Wouldn't hurt for him to try Kratom either. Don't get it from a gas station, buy a "red bali" strain online and have it shipped.

If he's in that much pain I'd recommend him trying both.

Get a cannabis with a high CBD count, critical mass is a strain I've learned helps with that.

I get nerve pain from plane rides. Helped me.
