im pretty sure the answer to this is no, but i figured id ask just for my friends sake:
my friend has a VERY mild form of tourettes (i.e. only one tick, which is he opens the side of his mouth and makes a click noise), but is on medicine that completely stops it. i wanna get him high tomorrow for his first time, would cannabis interact with his medicine? i told him that even if it does, it would probably only be for the duration of the high..
One of my friends has tourettes and weed helps him
niiice thx.Quote:

Sure marijuana might help someone with tourettes, but there is no way to know the effect on his drugs its going to have.. You need to find out that info first.
i agree with him.. but it should be safe for the most part i dont think cannabis acts bad with other drugs.. but this is just me assuming this.. and you know what can happen when someone assumes something.....Quote:

oh shit thats not good.. i thought it didnt do much with other things.. thats to bad that it does
Have him stop taking his meds and start smoking weed, it helps with tourettes big time.:smokin:
I have tourettes, actualy. I dont take any meds for it, but I notice I get kinda twitchy when I smoke weed.
I think it definitely depends on the person with Tourette's and how he responds individually to weed. Some people will have negative effects and some positive. There's probably no overall conclusion or generalization you can make on whether it'd be beneficial or not. It would likely also depend on the strain of cannabis, too. Different strains have different neurological effects.
I never said that it wouldn't interfear with any meds he may be taking, I was just stating the fact a freind of mine has it and weed helps him with itQuote:

(synthetic THC pills) i dont plan to take the pills, but they will be my excuse for having thc show up on my tests.
Night you should take the pills they are kinda fun :)
