A follow up to the shingles discussion. There was a new episode this week of "The Nature of Things" with David Suzuki that discussed many aspects of cannabis. One of the things that he mentioned was that there was
fairly conclusive evidence of the efficacy of cannabis for neuropathy (ie, nerve pain, ie, the kind of pain that is why shingles is so
horrible and mostly non-responsive to opioids.)
For us here in Canada, that's easy. And really, even in the US there are 37 states where medical cannabis is legal. Sadly, if you're in the UK, you're out of luck for a legal source. For most of the EU, I don't know.
