My daughter thinks I should get a card and try the medical marijuana. She says it would help my RLS as well as the pain I suffer with daily. Has anyone tried this and did it work for you. would I be wasting time and money to do this?

Are you taking any medications or have you tried any other alternative treatments? Wishing you the best. - Lori (Team Member)

I have been using medical cannabis for several years and it does help with relaxing as long as the strain has CBD (to help sleep) and CBN (for pain). With that said, it does not get rid of it! I have suffered with RLS since I was a child. It has gone away, sometimes for years. I’m about to turn 71 and it has been very bad for the last ten years. I hope this helps.
