Chronic Pain & Medical Cannabis

July, 2008 - Buddy, an 86 year old man suffering from chronic neuropathy of the feet expresses the excruciating pain, ineffective narcotic medications with side-effects like constipation, and the realization that medical cannabis (marijuana) could help relieve his pain. His own doctor told him that cannabis would help, having certainly read Dr. Donald Abram's study, "Cannabis in Painful HIV-associated Sensory Neuropathy", published in February, 2007, that proved cannabis as effective for neuropathic pain as conventional, opiate-type medications - http://www.neurology.org/cgi/content/abstract/68/7/515
This video features sections of Dr. Abrams presentation of his findings, at the 2006 Cannabis Therapeutics Conference, in Santa Barbara, CA, hosted by Patients Out of Time.
Dr. Abram's presentation, "Cannabis in Pain & Palliative Care", is viewable in its entirety at:

Buddy's interview was conducted by Mark Pedersen, Cannabis Patient Network.

I also live in chronic pain and take cana-caps,

Dr Hornby one of the leading researchers on cannabis has found a way to give me a capsule of converted cannabis , THC/CBD in a pill. It works amazing for my pain and I also know how much I am taken per dose. Each capsule contains measurable amounts of cannabinods that have been activated to better treat conditions like chronic pain.

Our Government knows the efficacy of the cannabis plant and that is why it is it is illegal.

It is medicinal.

I feel for this guy we are both in the same boat I had several back sugerys and sometimes I have such intense pain I do wish I was dead. And when my family finds me in this state, they break down and cry. I feel even worse because I don't want my stupid ass body to hurt anyone else, It hurts me more than any person should have to endure. So what do I do Kill myself? Or smoke pot? I don't want to die

Hi all,

I am a 32 year old woman, Have a chronic migraine( Status migrainosus) and a have cluster headache also in a chronic way, And MS.

I have verpamil, oxygen, morphine, Imigran but the only way to escape the pain some bit, and exactly could relax.. is smoking medical cannabis.

Not for the migraine and Cluster unfortunately, But for the MS pain it work's for me. Better then morphine. I have the vapir one inhalation and i would recommend it!

Legalize please! Bless you all.

@vandra420 What is the name of the pill? I have neuropathy pain in my feet.

I am only 39 and feel 80. Neurontin, Lyrica, Ultram haven't helped me.

The pain is so bad I can't work and have to collect Disability to support my kids.

I appreciate any info. Thanks
