No, it's not that I need to be stoned, but rather have a certain amount in the body to keep the pain at bay, so tolerance doesn't matter really. I'm glad too, because with the tolerance, I can function without having to be stoned too

It's still a very unknown area. I wish you the best of luck!
If you don't want to smoke, there's always THC vape pens and oils. Experiment, it may change your life

I live in the UK right now, and edibles are usually just homemade. The problem with them, is they're hard to regulate usage, effects take a while, and they can hit kinda hard all at once.
I smoke sativas because they're generally higher in THC, and I find it dampens the nerve problem very quickly. It seems degenerative this condition, if that's the right word, or progressive. After over a decade of usage for this condition, I've found personally 4 small paper spliffs (I mix lightly with tobacco), 2 in the morning and 2 at night is the minimum to keep me good - about 0.5g a day, even with progressive effects of this condition, dosage has remained fairly constant. May I ask what the condition is? THC is great for general neural on the brain, whereas CBD is better locally in my understanding

So yes, for a lot of things. CBD works on your CB2 receptors, which your peripheral nervous is loaded in. CB1 are mainly in the central nervous system, and loaded around places like you hippocampus in humans, which THC clings to. In other animals its different, so you'll find weed will mess with co-ordination a lot more. I personally for my condition need the whole package, and not just CBD
CBD is more like a muscle relaxant when soley used.
At least this is what I remember reading a while back

When my condition was first looked at, they said it could be MS or a brain tumour too- those were scary times
When I was travelling and went to Indonesia, where weed is really illegal, I went 7 days without smoking and was by day 7 into constant spasm. A king pin on the island took pity, heard the issue an gave me a joint, amd told to to walk out into the ocean to smoke it away from everyone and not be caught. I was back to normal before I finished the joint. It's my godsend! I'm glad you found yours too!

I suffer with a rare form of neuralgia- a type of neuropathic pain
It started one day age 24, and left me unable to talk though the pain, or function - unimaginable pain. Neurologists started with sedatives, then gabapentin, yet nothing helped really. I started smoking weed, and as long as I kept up frequent use, it turned down the pains by 95%. Now I live a normal life again, sorta
Edit: I wrote a post about my neuralgia if anyone's interested

Oils definitely work. I've tried vapes and I'm sure they work. I only say sure because I'd need to come off smoking to fully see how it helps, and that's surprisingly difficult
