Considering trying medical marijuana...

I gave CBD oil a shot, but I just didn't get any real relief and I've read that for some people a little THC is needed. So I'm looking into medical marijuana -anyone else here thinking about trying it to help with symptoms?

  1. I know a lot of people with chronic illness/pain use marijuana to help them with pain & the anxiety that the chronic illness causes. If you don't know what to buy, perhaps you could search youtube?

    1. I’ve been using MMJ since last summer here in Pa. It has been one of the best treatments I’ve used. It helps me with, pain, depression, insomnia and others. If it is legal in your state, I would seriously consider it. It helped me cut back on a number of medications.

      1. Thank you some much for the information!

      2. Not a problem Kerry! Although it is great to see more states getting on board with cannabis treatments, it is unfortunate that the education and dissemination of information on this topic are oft overlooked. Especially as this option is not accepted on a federal level, many doctors avoid the topic in fear of loosing their lisence(s). Good luck PsA warrior!! Let me know if you have any other questions

    2. Please feel free to ask me any questions, I’ll do my best to answer.

      1. Like patti, my state has also legalized the use of medicinal cannabis. I am a registered patient and have seen life changing results. Please feel free to message me with any questions.

        1. Awesome! What state are you in?
