Marijuana and ITP

Does anyone smoke grass with their ITP? I have had ITP for 12 years and the only thing that helps my lethargy and tiredness is to smoke a bowl or a joint. My P count stays around 12.-18 and goes as low as 1 frequently. I have tried it all and now aM on N-PLATE.

Am not against marijuana and believe it may help some medical conditions . However like most drugs incl alcohol I believe it will contribute to lethargy but we are all different. For my ITP I try have a healthy balanced diet and keep as active as possible, it keeps my mind off things and helps me get a good nights sleep.

I smoke while my platelets are low. Didn't make any difference to me
