Cannabis for MS

What is the best way to take medical cannabis

[Royjr]

Now I’m going to tell you my personal experience, vapping is better than smoking (I think smoking anything is not good for anyone with MS). A high strain with CBD and low THC will not give you that high feeling. CBD is is one of the beneficial components of Cannabis. Do your research before going this route. There’s edibles and other ways of consuming the drug. CBD is legal in almost all 50 states. I don’t know where you live but know you can legally consume CBD in these states. Just like all medication it effects everyone differently. Do your research. Good luck.

When I go to a dispensary, I make it a point to buy a high CBD strain. I’ve noticed an improvement in my energy and a slight improvement in my gait. I’m not a heavy user so I’m still learning how much and when to consume it. I guess it works for me but I’m not expecting an instant relief in any symptoms but it’s not hurting me so I’ll keep consuming it. If you consume a lot it can get expensive.

take it as a liquid tincture, make sure you are very high CBD 80% low THA20%, be sensible take it at night before you go to bed, food and liquid not required.

From the little I've read, it looks wise to start small and build, especially if there is any THC with it. Everyone is so different, and you may need more or need less than others. Edibles will have the slowest absorption rate.

I hope you get relief from your symptoms and will let us know how it goes.

I Eat it in Chocolate before bed. I find that it helps my legs relax more than Seroquel does. I don't feel I've run 25 miles in my sleep.....only 10 lol

I find that the straight CBD oil (which is great for daytime) helps my emotions stay more even. The best for sleeping is the Rick Simpson Oil, which does have varying amounts of THC is awesome. If you haven’t ever been a smoker these options are great. The CBD oil (olive oil consistency) goes under your tongue, and the Simpson Oil with THC & CBD (tar-like when refrigerated) goes into a capsule that you can buy at the pharmacy or online. No need to smoke or vape! Nobody should be afraid to try these options. You don’t have to consume anything high calorie or ever smoke to get the benefits. Whether you support MMJ or not, CBD has enormous benefits for all.

To clarify, I am referring to the Hemp Oil CBD, which is not even made from MMJ. It is made from Industrial Hemp, the plant which naturally contains Zero THC. Technically, only CBD oil or tincture derived from MJ would be using MMJ. Everyone should please at least consider trying Hemp derived CBD Oil, regardless of where you live or whether or not you support MMJ. The CBD Oil contains fatty acids which are good for healthy people too, because they support your brain and heart similarly to fish oil. (I take Krill Oil instead of fish oil to avoid the awful taste and risk of mercury)

I am sure that the delicious sounding infused chocolate someone recommended is probably pricey, but pure hemp derived CBD is relatively inexpensive. Not cheap- but worth the cost for those who it helps. Plus, I just paid a $75 copay on 1 RX. Prescribed Pharmaceutical medicine is definitely far more costly and potentially deadly. Hemp oil could not make you feel high, much less OD, no matter how much you took.

You could try rectal assimilation of cannabis. No high and far more efficient as absorption can be 60-80% as opposed to ~15% via lungs and ~ 30% by eating. Far higher blood levels can be obtained by this method too. Place oil in a capsule, lube with coconut oil and insert one to one and a half inches in. Make sure hands are dry.
