I used to live in the US and qualified for a state’s medical cannabis program. It was so helpful every day, I microdosed gummies, which are easier as you can cut them into smaller sections. It was great to walk into a dispensary and buy it safely, knowing exactly what I’m getting. Now that I’ve immigrated to another country where it is less available, I can definitively state that it relievers pain, anxiety, improves sleep, and just general body movement and functioning - some days it’s hard for me to walk.
That’s it, isn’t it? I have no idea or control of what I smoke, and it’s illegal for me to purchase it.
Yet there’s this wonderful drug that does so much good. Sure it has risks, but they’re mild, and what drug doesn’t come with risks and side affects?
Sorry to hear you’re struggling more now. Hopefully the world wakes up and we are able to follow all the US states, and other countries and have seen sense.
Sending you lots of love x
Been diagnosed since 2015. Was very happy that my doctor was open with me about the benefits of Cannabis. Only negative is if I go too hard accidentally go to the shadow realm haha. Microdosing is perfect for me and gets me through the days. Happy I stumbled on your channel. Peace.
I know I'm commenting a year later but I was diagnosed exactly a year ago now but timeline wise my doctor thinks I went 3 years untreated having maybe developed it in 2020, I started using CBD and THC around 4 months ago to help with my spine lesions as I had many clusters focused on my Th-9 and Th-10. It helps with it along with my pain med, but like you said it helps amazingly with the brain lesions. I can focus and remember things when high, I was proud? (not the word I'm looking for) of my memory prior to ms. Once the brain fog and memory issues started I felt like I was losing a large part of myself cannabis has helped but memory is still hard I find myself forgetting words quite often and its a struggle it feels like I'm not who I was.. Sorry for the tangent but that's my POV on cannabis and how it has helped me, its good for both the pain and Sativa especially like you said helps with the brain fog.
Here from California I’m so sorry it’s still pretty taboo there. It has changed my life with MS. I think it should be like this everywhere they gave me all kinds of pills and it was horrible !
You guys are leading the way! Maybe I need to up sticks and move to Cali 👊🏻😆
I’ve still managed to erm, “source” enough 🤫 and it’s definitely a game changer.
It helps with all repeat all of my symptoms!! Including sleep!! It's the only thing I take for my MS!! 41 years now!!
Hope you’re doing well. I’ve had a break from cannabis but definitely miss it 😢 think I’ll be back on it at some point soon 🙏🏻
@@livingwithms it's the best medicine!! 😎👍
MS since 2012. Cannabis and cbd has been very helpful for my symptoms. Hi from Arizona.🌵
Hi 👋🏻 😊 thanks for checking out the channel 🙌🏻 always wanted to go to Arizona. Big hockey fan and Liam Kirk is well loved over here.
Glad you’re benefiting from it all 😊
@@livingwithms Az is beautiful come on over . just not in the middle of summer if you have heat sensitivity.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts on cannabis. There are many who benefit from its use. I encourage you to consider tinctures or edibles. Smoking anything is risky for people with MS, it may increase the risk of disease progression.
Great comment, thank you 🙏🏻 you’re absolutely right. Although, in the book I mention it does say that smoking pure cannabis without tobacco is considerably less harmful. Although I’d like to see more studies.
I like edibles too, just end up having too much 😂
cheers from Canada! legalized here and you can buy at dedicated retail outlets or from online distributors. balanced hybrid strains work best for me!
For me. CBD Isolate = minimal improvements ie, bladder, sleep, anxiety. CBD/THC = Disaster. Massive paranoia which impacted my mobility. I have a history of anxiety / dpression. The THC component made me unable to shower as I was to scared to even move. Usually works for those who were regular users prior to MS. If it works for you, ........GREAT! Keep using it. For me it wasnt worth the $$$.
I have used CBD gummies that have helped with leg pain and weakness. Also, it gives me a nice little boost.
Glad you’re seeing benefits! It is so amazing what it can do 🙌🏻
Medical cannabis has been avalable in the uk since 2018. I pay £10 for a private prescription from a doctor and then £8 a gram for a strain that’s 29% thc much stronger than you will get on the street. I don’t know why people don’t know about this still.
Say whaaaaat?!!!! I DID NOT know this 🤯 thank you. I’m actually in the middle of the first break have had from cannabis in a long time. But this is really important information.
Drop me an email to liam@saltsteelmedia.com I’d love to ask a couple more questions.
@@livingwithmsGoogle mamedica my missus has same ms as yourself she has a medical prescription fully legal best weed out there aswell she says easy to get a prescription especially with u having ms
Hi Liam, I have been a cannabis fan since I was 17 (I am 50 now) and I prefer it over any rec activity. For MS, since I was diagnosed in late May it is nice in edible form as well as in vape form, but since my balance is shit, ( I am forced to very light movement cause that would not be great to walk around)I was a smoker until my asthma and COPD forced me to stop. It helps with relaxation from anxiety and overall life for me, and I am a supporter of you exploring its benefits. When it comes to pain, cannabis makes me hyper aware of any pain or spasms, but I deal with that anyway (damn MS), so I do it anyway!! Good luck .
U need to have yoyr b12 and folate levels tested cos m.s gets diagnosed wen it's b12 deficiency/pernicious anemia pernicious anemia and b12 deficiency can be non anemia b12 deficiency pernicious anemia is very under diagnosed if u do have m.s take vit d3 and mk7 k2 magnesium ttfd /benfotiamine
Definitely didn't work for me
Ive been a pothead since 09, diagnosed in 16 with projections it started in 13. So glad i already did smoke xD
I have friends that smoked it recreationally but I was never a fan of feeling high. I was diagnosed in 2022 and experienced horrible insomnia. I tried a 5 mg gummy and I slept like a baby so I got a medical license in my state and it continues to work for me. I still don’t like the high but I sleep through it and wake up refreshed. If I wake up and can’t sleep, I keep a vape pen next to my bed and take a small pull from that and am able to fall back asleep.
Sativa is right..... Stevia is the sweetner. ✌🇨🇦
That’s the one! Knew I was close 😂
Canada! Jealous. Have never been but know if I did visit, I’d never come back 😆
Hello Liam thank you for this video.I have MS along with Long COVID and other health issues.I was diagnosed in 2015 with MS. I was on medical marijuana back then but stopped because it gets expensive. It did help a bunch though and looking to start some form again like CBD or CBDA for the MS pain and headaches.
I am wondering what is the name of the book you mentioned and the author?
Blessings!
Hey thank you for your comment. I hope you are doing as well as can be. I found cannabis helpful at first, but found I was smoking too much
The book is by Professor David Nutt. Well worth a read!
I’ve had MS since I was 20 but was diagnosed at 21
Just like you I worry that my 14 year old son may perceive me differently if I were to smoke to alleviate some of my discomforts of my MS. I tried Edibles, but I got them from a smoke shop in NYC. I don't think this is the real stuff because It gets me weak in the legs. I will like to smoke the flower somewhere in the "Sativa" family so i am not going to sleep too soon.
That’s sounds sensible. I’m sure your son will understand, you’re not a typical stoner, looking to get high. You have a serious disease and if cannabis helps, then it helps. Think it’s maybe helpful to sit him down and explain. Let me know how you get on!
I am in NYC also and I got my medical marijuana card. I take edibles and it really helps. You can even get them delivered to you.
In my younger days I tried it but for me, I couldn't tolerate the way it altered my thoughts.
Sensible approach. It’s not for everyone. I certainly didn’t enjoy it when I was younger. Although it can negatively impact development if you have it younger than 25 apparently.
@@livingwithms I was a bit older than 25. Drinking alcohol and even some medications are not well tolerated by me. I guess I am just different.
Ya it's funny, I'm the one with MS but for some reason my kids were given it and I cant seem to get any
No doubt Cannabis helps with symptoms when I get the chance I put it into tea or a dessert as smoking is absolutely off limits with the therapy
I was Dx'd in 2014, when I was 28. I've only just started trying cannabis in the past few weeks, and I'm trying to find the strain that effects nerve pain, which is tricky, and I haven't found exactly the right one yet.
Where abouts are you based? I don’t get so much choice so have to see what I get. So far it’s helpful, but would be interested in trying specific strains
CO, so we have plenty to choose from.
