moose_man22 Posted May 9, 2017 Report Share Posted May 9, 2017 Hi there, just wondering if anyone on here has tried the use of medicinal marijuana / cannabis or CBD oil to "control" TS tics? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sheila Posted May 23, 2017 Report Share Posted May 23, 2017 Hi Moose_man22 -- I was waiting to see if anyone responded to this. I know some people have tried it and found it helpful. NORML is one of the best sites for marijuana information. This link talks about its uses for TS http://norml.org/library/item/tourettes-syndrome Of course the researchers only suggest it for "treatment resistant" TS, even though it tends to be safer than the conventional drugs used for TS and some would recommend that it should be a first line therapy, not after everything else fails. (Not that marijuana or CBD oil is without some potential side effects.) Here is an article about pediatric epilepsy and CBD oil (again they say treatment resistant.) http://blog.norml.org/2016/01/27/study-cbd-oil-highly-promising-in-pediatric-epilepsy-treatment/ I hope this is some help!

moose_man22 Posted May 24, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 24, 2017 Thanks Sheila, I have done a lot of research on the topic but was hoping some people on here may have actually tried this treatment option. In Australia however, the legality is still a big issue as they have only just legalized growing the plant to extract CBD We are a long way behind the US in this regard. Thanks for your input and hoping to hear from some people that may have tried. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sahm Posted May 30, 2017 Report Share Posted May 30, 2017 Tried it with 12 yo son for about 6 months, didn't really help. Charlotte's Web CBD oil. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moose_man22 Posted June 1, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 1, 2017 Hi sahm, is the Charlotte's web oil hemp oil or CBD/cannabis oil do you know? reason I ask is that you can get Charlotte's web oil in Australia online. However, you cannot legally buy CBD oil legally in Australia yet, so I am wondering if it is hemp seed oil? Joyle 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sahm Posted June 7, 2017 Report Share Posted June 7, 2017 It's CBD oil - we are in US, so you can buy online. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
