> About a year ago I had nerve impingement from a disk in my neck, with pain for 6 weeks. Moderate pain, as far as nerve pain goes. I used opiates to a small degree to deal with it, and also marijuana. I thought it was of some use, if only for converting a physical experience into a mental one. At low doses I think the time disconnect effect of cannabis can give some relief, and maybe there is a small degree of analgesia as well.
> DeclanI did an uncontrolled experiment last night at a party. Cannabis worked. Hmmmm.
There is a medical license process for legal use of cannabis in Canada, but it is such a heap of red tape. My understanding is that it takes 18 months for initial approval, and you have to renew annually.
