Cannabis use.

After discussing Cannabis use with my Dr she gave me the ok to try. I got my medical use card. The THC is a God send. Have actually been able to go to bed and fall asleep. I have no fatigue next day. I buy 10mg gummy’s so I can adjust dose as needed. I take about 30 min prior to going to bed.

Worth discussing with your PCP.

I will chime in as well that cannabis oil, not CBD oil but the oil that has a good amount of THC, for which you need a medical card, is the ONLY thing that has helped me sleep better. I am completely amazed it's been 12 nights in a row now. Thanks for your post.

I live in the U.K. and a relative sends Cannabis gummies over from British Columbia. I doubt whether they are available on prescription over here so always look forward to the next package. A blessing as far as sleep is concerned but not sure it addresses the RLS.

I take a daily dose (patch)of Rotigotine which stills the arms and legs which after 35 years of RLS is amazing.

The cannabis helps with the insomnia which is the result of those years of hellish nights with RLS and use of addictive drugs.

Yes, I realise that cannabis is addictive too but sleep is blissful.

I also know that Rotigotine is a DA drug and can cause augmentation so wait and it’s and see.

Hi there. I am heading to UK next spring for three months travel. Last visit there I nearly lost my mind without Cannabis. Is it safe to mail it over before hand? Can I get in trouble if I do? That would be so amazing if I could access THC while there!! Teresa😊

If you are referring to cannabis gummies then remove them from the manufacturer’s wrapping and forward them to the U.K. address .Obviously if for some reason they don’t pass through customs then you lose them.

You know what? Food is addictive! So, I don't worry about cannabis being addictive. All things in moderation! Its the overuse or overindulgence (like too much food equals obesity) that creates problems.

Will send to a P.O. Box and see what happens. Travelling all around England pet/house sitting so will need to get organized before I leave. Thanks for that suggestion. Teresa😊🐶
