Rick Simpson Oil

[Whippetmama]

I just ordered some. I am very hopeful (aren't we all when trying something new?) I searched but didn't see anything on this forum. Has anyone tried it for RLS? I googled it and the anecdotal claims are very convincing. I'll report back after I get it and have had a chance to try it.

Hi ive been taking Dihydrocodeine for ruffley 20 years always 2 tabs 3 times a day or 2 before bed I can sleep all night! Just a suggestion for you

It seems very helpful for some Whippetmama, but not all.

Sadly it did not help me - although I was on pramipexole at the time, and I have come to believe that pramipexole interferes profoundly with all drugs/herbals.

I did see my homeopath about it, and he said the best solution would be to make suppositories with the RS Oil, as it would have a much longer life in the system and get you through the night.

He made some for me, bless him, and I still have them in the fridge. He says they are very easy to make.

It so odd that I just happened to read this tonight. I met with a functional practitioner today at the medical marijuana dispensary. She helped me to pick out some items to try. This all new to me. She said that suppositories are really the best way to go. She is going to hold a class to show how to make them as apparently they are really expensive to buy premade.

That is just excellent.

Very easy to make indeed, if you have ever cooked anything.

Perhaps I should get mine out of the refrigerator tonight!

I would imagine you will get great relief.

I made the oil myself - a lot cheaper than buying it although more awkward. It has ALL the cannabinoids from the plant and as Madlegs1 has posted new research is showing the importance of THC, (which a lot of us already knew from experience).

My advice, especially if you are not a regular cannabis user, is to use very little VERY little as too much can be very scary (or very pleasant ). It is an extremely potent and productive drug with minimal side-effects.

Good on you for taking proactive steps to sorting things out. Let me know how you get on please.
