Hi.

I was just wondering if anyone uses cannabis oil instead of medication diagnosed by doctors?

Thanks

My sister had early onset Az and her adult children made “brownies” which helped with her jerking for a while

I have been giving it to my father in the evenings to help him sleep and I also take it to help me "relax" and take the edge off caregiving.

I think it has helped; however, I'm all about "natural" treatment vs pharmalogical medications so I may just be using the placebo effect on myself and transposing it to my dad as well. Since I've started caring for him and making sure he gets his medications and supplements regularly, I think I've seen a marked improvement but again, it could be just me.

I am going to investigate using it. I would like to hear from others and their experiences.
