Marijuana for Tourettes?

[MX500]

I have been suffering from tourettes since I was about 6. I started smoking marijuana regularly last fall, and my tourettes has never been more subdued. I don't have the urge to "tic" nearly as often as I had before, even when I'm sober, the left over THC must be still in effect because I haven't had much problem with my tourettes since I started smoking.

I've been pondering applying for a medical marijuana club card, but don't know if my case would be accepted. Is marijuana known for reducing the effects of tourettes? I would love to be able to have a card so I can make this legal.

Anyone else here have tourettes? I'm interested to see if the chronic helps you out too.

Yes! MMJ definately reduces the effects of tourettes. I recently watched a documentary on mmj and it showed a patient that suffered from tourrettes. her tourettes was HORRIBLE it was so hard to understand, i felt so bad =( but then she went n grabbed a bag(they showed the shit she had to go through to get it, it aint easy for sick ppl to get trees where u cant get medical mj)

so after she gets the weed they showed her talking and it was typical tourretes shit, then she smoked a bowl and was normal.

I don't have the syndrome, but I have several friends who do, and all are medical users who swear by it, no pun intended. At the very worst, it can't hurt to try.

With medical records showing a valid independent diagnosis, it is widely accepted for recommendation of cannabis in the state of CA. You must be in a state where cannabis is legal for med purposes.
