Everyday living

I read that marijuana can help with spasticity and I thought I’d try it… Pot has thc and cbd… I read that it is thc that helps with spasticity. does anyone know the minimum % of thc that can help spasticity. I dont want to feel stoned…

Hi Luke tricky question as it varies from person to person , did it as a teenager & stopped when i got to my 20’s, then after a somewhat dx and years of untreated symptoms having kids wife i tried it at 4amish in my garage came up the path fell over garden furniture woke dog which woke everyone up after only 2 , hence to say i was in the doghouse lol :slight_smile: i decided it wasn’t a route i wanted to go down yet but that may change in the future all the best

Hello Luke

I can understand you feeling desperate but please be careful.

Hi luke, I gave up smoking 14months ago, made my right foot & leg go dead as I was smoking, but as lots of people kept saying marijuana was good, we baked it in cakes & biscuits, can’t say it made much difference to me, the wife said it made her sleep better, I said they are mine. Lol, who knows, we are all clutching at straws, so if anything makes you feel better in your head, give it a try, don’t get in trouble or dependant though, Haha like we aren’t already on the drugs we are given, and lets face it, our nuroes don’t know if they will work?? Be carefully. Good luck.

Hi Luke I have used it for years. My neuro knows I use it and has no problems at all with that. It helps me a great deal. It is the only medication I use and have used. It works very well for me, and if I don’t have it, I certainly know about it. I use it at night when my symptoms tend to get worse. But it isn’t for everybody. I get no side effects except feeling a little bit stoned, but as I use it to medicate, not recreationally that is the only side effct I have which tbh, is fine by me as it helps me sleep. I hope that helped xx

Hi kuke Can only speak about myself,I’ve been using marijuana for my ms and find it helps with my stiffness but I agree it’s not for everyone,my doctors and specalists have no prob with this,they have problem with the smoking and nicotine so maybe try the cakes.
