If you put 'cannabis' in the search box, there are some ready made replies for you. I haven't tried it ..it's incompatible with heart meds, but did ask on here , if anyone had tried an alternative ...PEA... but no replies.

Yes, cannabis does interfere with heart function, usually speeding it up!

It is currently the only treatment that I have that’s actually effective! It relaxes my muscles so I’m not having crazy spasms anytime I’m still. It helps so much with pain & gives me energy.

I’m a long time smoker so it wasn’t a big transition for me. I will say (warn) one thing. There are certain strains that make everything WORSE! These tend to be Sativas, as they are more stimulating. Indica blends work for me.

Also, edibles have a terrible effect on me. Eating cannabis means your body processes the drug differently and in my case, regardless of the strain, I get intense heart palpitations that take hours to go away. As much as I want to protect my lungs, if I eat my weed, I feel like I might have a stroke.

Smoking is the only thing that gives me my mobility back & allows me to finally be still and in control of my movements.
