Any scientific evidence that mj helps tourettes?

    I have had Tourette's since a child. I currently use mj instead of what I used to take for the past 5 years (risperadol and lexapro)

    I can honestly say that pot does indeed help me. It also helped me get through the withdraws that I suffered from the risp and lexapro (brain shocks, fatigue, and dizziness)

    Does anybody have any scientific articles or something that has tests that prove this? It's too bad that you still can't get a green card with Tourette's....
