If you've had any form of depression with your MS. Apparently 50% of people with MS have some form of depression. (clinical depression or depression as a result of changes in the brain with MS) then be very careful taking marijuana.

Marijuana can lead to a serious worsening of depression and very far from a minor reaction or consequence. You have to be aware that it could deepen the terrible effects of depression. Marijuana is not a benign treatment and its effects are often insidious.

I agree with you on Tysabri! My neurologist looks at me like I'm paranoid because I don't want to take a drug that may help me, but just might cause my death. My first neurologist said he was 99% sure I didn't have MS pre MRI.

I'm glad your MS is very manageable. I never tried steroids but they have never really caught me in an active relapse, but I have the spasms anyway. Tried everything, only mj, relaxation, stress management, physical therapy, exercise and Vitamin D work. 5,000 IUs daily

Stoners give pot a bad name. It takes the few that abuse it to screw it up for everyone else. Marijuana has a lot of medical benefits. Too many to really list. Marijuana helps MS because it calms down the immune system. It contains anti-inflammatory properties. Though smoking pot can eventually lead to lung cancer because smoking any carbon is not a natural thing to be doing. But marijuana can be ingested. MMmmmm pot brownies anyone?!! :D

Hi!

I agree with everything you've said. I don't have MS but the more I know about it, the more it makes me want to commit to helping the cause.

Thanks for subscribing too.

I am a lot like you. Never tried MJ and the MS hasn't gotton so bad for me that I have to resort to it now. saw a comment somewhere that said "I would smoke a dog turd if I thought it would help". Thanks for your viewpoint. I wish the "Legalize it" people weren't the stoners and were actually intelligent people like yourself. It just makes it more difficult for the people that actually need it. For now I take copaxone. Who knows...Maybe I'll be lighting one up in the future.
