Hello everyone,
My name is Heather and I am a prosthetic and orthotic student at George
Brown College doing a research project on medical marijuana and whether it
may have benefits in relieving phantom limb pain.

I am wondering if anyone had experience with a patient utilising medical
marijuana for their phantom pain. If so, can you please see if you can
answer any of the following questions for me;

What other treatments did the patient seek prior to a medical marijuana
regimen?

What made them decide to try medical marijuana to relieve their phantom
pain?

Has medical marijuana helped decrease their phantom pain?

Are they still utilising medical marijuana for their phantom limb pain?

Thank you very much for taking the time to consider my e-mail and any
information you can provide me will be greatly appreciated.

Regards,
