Medical marijuana

I have finally gotten my medical marijuana card. I have an appointment tomorrow at a dispensary. What should I expect? What types have worked for you guys what hasn’t? Do you continue on with the same drug cocktail and add marijuana or. I’m excited to try it, scared about taking it and also afraid that it might not work.

The weed makes no difference and you will die from it he he . Better do the stretch exercises as in moving your legs back to stretch the muscles .

Actually the rate of morbidity associated with cannabis is extremely low.

The impact on rls is very variable - it works for some but does seem to be strain dependent.

If it is high in thc it will induce an appreciable change in how your perception of things. You will probably feel mellow and slightly zoned out. You might find you feel happier and/or sleepy. You could feel dizzy and your balance might be affected. You might experience nausea. Be careful moving around. It can be disconcerting at first but you do get very used to it. I really hope it helps your rls.

I was joking , no one says the exercises work , they work for me . I find hot weather seems to make it worse .

Good for you! But didn’t they give you an explanation with it? Weird.... Anyway, I am not much use, as I hardly have used marijuana before, only in drops of ‘Rick Simpson’oil, with a good but unknown to me percentage of THC. Just take it slow, and see how your body reacts. Others, with vaping experience, may advise you on how long to wait for effects before your second inhalation etc. I hope it works!!

They spoke to me about it but it’s always nice to see how others reacted or get advice from the experts who used it for RLS specifically
