Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS) Discussion Board

Actually, I was feeling "guilty" last night about passing along the claim of successfully treating all RLS clients. They haven't yet successfully treated me -- because nothing lasts so my sleep is so broken still. When I heard this claim, I was in a pit of despair over this struggle and having a bit...

First recommendation: THCA is the way to go for movement disorders; tinctures best so you can be exacting about doses and theoretically these would last longer. This is the non-psychoactive THC. (I did not ask about CBD and epilepsy treatment which seems to contradict this.) I am guessing THC would ...

One of my frustrations has been the general ignorance of medical marijuana knowledge by the run-of-the-mill person behind the counter. While doing a lot of research I ran into the following place in Portland, Oregon (I live in California): Home Grown Apothecary: 503-232-1716 (I have talked to both R...

Is there any more detail you can fill in about "balancing out the endocannabinoid system"? First I have heard of this. Should I be taking as much CBD as THC daily?

Anyone have problems with tolerance to THC and what did you do about it?

Cytochrome P450 2D6 (CYP2D6) is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the CYP2D6 gene.

Thanks, Steve. Note on THCA: if you heat it or cook with it, it becomes THC and psychoactive. I learned from my trip to Oregon that the THCA tincture I am using (Jade Nectar brand) is grown in the Santa Cruz mountains and only available in California and I have been unable to find a THCA tincture in...

I have been to see Dr. B. He started out by saying PLMD is difficult to successfully treat (or some such encouraging word) and never recommended anything that wasn't standard for RLS patients. I have found lately that my RLS is worse, again maybe because I am withdrawing from so many drugs (at least...

Early report after 10 days: THCA tincture (THCA is not psychoactive, but the same as THC) one and a half droppers kicks in after an hour or two and stops PLMD shaking. (Testing if it kicks in sooner sublingually; that dose is pretty big for under the tongue however.) 5mg indica gummy kicks in after ...

Do you have a method for repeating the tincture and gummy before they've worn off? I am thinking of taking 5mg gummy a couple of hours before bed and then another 5mg 4 hours later (thinking it will kick in about 6 hours after the first 5mg). Maybe even setting an alarm? which seems so strange since...

Thanks for the useful input. I haven't worked it out yet, but the amazing thing is I can take 60 drops of THCA when the leg movements come on in the evening and they will go away in just over 1/2 hour. Doesn't last is the problem, but I can go to sleep initially which is very new since my PLMD usual...

That is kind of what I am thinking. I hope to find something where the high is as tolerable as possible and then just get into it or at least accept it. I did try Granddaddy Purp (vaping) and one toke got me high for two hours (not horrible horrible, but still was wishing it was over and too stoned ...

Thinking of trying this for PLMD. Did I understand someone to say that this can cause augmentation?

I'm not fond of getting high. The indica gummies 1:1 I am guessing get you high?

Question about gummies: Several people mentioned them. What is in them? How do you use them (for sleep or movements)? Will they work without anything else? Question about the THC:CBD 1:1 dose that several people indicate helps them: how much of each? FYI: THCA is non-psychoactive form of THC that is...
