That's a really good argument i've heard for medical marijuana, Marine. A girl in my government class last year had a dad with a nerve disorder that caused him to feel like he was on fire, according to her. When he started smoking it all but killed the pain and he went from 28 pills a day down to a couple and a 2 doobies.
As long as the smoke isn't being blown in my face i'm fine.
I have the exact same type of pain, 24/7 my arm feels like its ablaze, my finger nails feel like they are being peeled back while a car is parked on top of it. When you damage nerves, they freak out and report mixed signals. I tore up an entire nerve trunk, not just one.
I took pills for years man, more kinds than I can remember.. During that time there was no way in hell I was smoking weed, I was still a detective, pot was "bad" and nobody could tell me otherwise.
After grunting it out for 5+ years, I gave in and smoked some bomb Kush.. instant and total relief, and this is no BS.. that was the 1st time in years all my pain was gone. Weed might not be for everyone, but for seriously Fed up folks like me, and that dude, it's nothing short of a miracle drug.
I started growing my own, you just cant beat pain relief for pennies on the dollar.. the Feds could bust me at any time tho. AAMOF one of my squaddies with a bad back got busted and is looking at prison time... which totally blows.
