i know how people feel about the illegality of MJ and this is the general problem in offering advice. but when you hear the stories of fenris and the side effects experienced, the same simply cannot be said of MJ, especially in the small quantities it takes to get the legs pacified. i'm actually sur...

hi betty, glad it's helped you. i bought a foam mattress though (the memory ones) thinking it would be the answer but it only helped the g/f. what it didn't do was allow me to jig my legs like i used to. it sounds ideal but it made it worse. when you wanna jig, you wanna jig!!! so had to put that in...

I won't jump on my high horse (excuse the pun) and state it's no different than prescribing red wine in moderation. anyway i would like to say that for anyone thinking of ingesting MJ without smoking to be extremely careful of quantities as for some individuals it can make the drug more potent. but ...

this is a difficult call. i use mj and it settles my legs totally, apart from the odd time. except i'm trying to get off it because when you don't use it you have a mildly better head to do things the next day. there's definately trade offs but seeing your comments on actual pharma drugs i think i'l...

Could this be a cause for RLS?

i read a post on a forum i can't seem to post to (bad interface) that maybe lack of oxygen reaching the farther parts of the body is a cause for RLS. When you sleep your breathing slows and some people breathe very shallow at night, maybe even during the day. i didn't understand the science that was...
