I have been using it for some time now in conjunction with CBD oil. It undoubtedly helps my mood, pain and sleeping. You will need to find an MD that is licensed to prescribe medical marijuana (there is additional training involved)

Here's a site that can help you locate someone in your area.

it is also expensive and not covered by insurance. One PD person I spoke to said it helped but not worth the expense.

Good luck

thanks for your response just curious how much does it cost for a month supply?

in reply toYhae

The price, like the product, varies considerably depending on what method you choose to use and how often and how much you use. The bud is probably the least expensive method, but vaping and tinctures are more expensive. The MM edibles are not too pricey, but again it can depend a lot on the actual content of each different edible.

It will depend also what you plan to use it for. If you are only using it for sleep, it is going to be cheaper than using it for daytime and night time use.

There have been many good and informative posts on this subject on this forum. Here is a link to some of them :

Medical marijuana is more expensive than CBD. The man I met was getting medical MJ and it was costing him $300 a week

in reply towifeofparky

$300 a week is insane! In order for me to consume that much of any MM in a week would mean I am stoned 24/7! For using it as a sleep aid, it's like a dollar a day or less for bud. Tincture would likely be about $1.50 to $2.00 a day depending on what you get, but there is that heavy tax, at least in California of 30 ~ 35% tax on MM, which is also insane!
