Medical Marijuana Education

Hi-
I am looking for reliable education about using medical marijuana that is written at a consumer-friendly level. Any suggestions?
Many thanks,
Teri

  1. Hi, @TTCM! I see you are looking for information on medicinal marijuana use. I know one of our other moderators, Richard, provided you a link to our catalog of articles on this topic. I wanted to share links to a couple of specific articles in that catalog. One is from our contributor Wren, where she shares her personal experience with RA pain and using medical marijuana to manage her pain -- https://rheumatoidarthritis.net/living/cannabis-and-pain. And here's a piece on one contributor's trial and error with cannabis -- https://rheumatoidarthritis.net/living/medical-marijuana-pain-treatment. And here's an UPDATE from that article link I just shared -- https://rheumatoidarthritis.net/living/medical-cannabis-symptom-relief. Aaaannd, here's another piece -- https://rheumatoidarthritis.net/living/green-good-im-medical-marijuana-patient. Am I overwhelming you with links yet? 😉 I would definitely pay attention to the member comments at the end of each article, as that's where you'll find some discussion and suggestions on using cannabis effectively. Like any treatment for RA, it does tend to be a bit of trial and error and if you choose to try marijuana or CBD, it may take some time to find what works best for you. I hope you also get some helpful member feedback here and again, I hope I didn't overwhelm you with information!

    1. Just in case I didn't overwhelm you yet, I wanted to share another helpful article that's very user friendly, from the Creaky Joints community -- https://creakyjoints.org/alternative-medicine/how-to-take-cbd-for-arthritis/. Best, Erin, RheumatoidArthritis.net Team Member.
