    hi everyone. i have dealt with tourettes syndrome all 18 years of my life, and in the past few months my tourettes have become extremely severe and debilitating. i am in constant pain from tourette related muscle spasms, and i have become extremely depressed due that fact.

    i have smoked trees forever, and i would love it if you guys could send some helpful ideas or suggestions my way. at this point i am open to trying ANYTHING.

    thanks in advance for your help

    Continue smoking trees? If it's helping with the muscle spasms. I didn't know people had to deal with pain if they had tourettes, sorry.

    A doc might help too.

    I have a few studies on Tourette's and cannabis. Perhaps you need a higher dosage?
