I am on anti-inflamatories, but when it comes to my fingers, a different story altogether. When I went to see the doctor to get medical marijuana, I was chatting with the receptionist and she was telling me about a rub you make by taking WINTERGREEN rubbing alchohol and adding 2-3 tablespoons of marijuana. Let it soak for about 2 weeks, then strain out the marijuana and use the rub for pain. She told me to ask the doctor about it, which I did and he told me to come back in 3 months and by then I will be ready for other uses, but he wouldn't offer up any further information about it. The receptionist also told me about a time she told a much older woman about the rub and the woman told her she had been doing that for 30 years!
