Dog barking triggers off my T

So now my dogs barking, fire alarm checks and ambulance/ police sirens trigger off my T. The other day I couldn't tell if it was an actual ambulance or my T. It can get so frustrating! I'm thinking of trying medicinal marijuana. I have heard this helps. Any thoughts?

Leading tinnitus expert Don McFerran wrote this: "There has been discussion among some patient groups as to whether marijuana could help tinnitus. Although there is not much research on this topic, the evidence that is available suggests that it is not helpful. The use of hallucinogenic drugs and inhalants (solvents) does seem to be associated with increased risk of developing tinnitus."

Hope that helps!

Once the THC is removed (the substance that causes the psychosomatic effects) there are many benefits. So I shall take my chances. It seems this doctor doesn't know much about the healing benifits of plants and how the different parts can be used. CBD (cannabinol) is extracted from the hemp plant and is classed as a food product not a drug. I suffer with muscle and joint pain also so hopefully I will feel better all round.
