Cannabis/Auto-immune Disorders

I have heard that the juice of raw cannabis leave is helpful in treating lupus and other auto-immune diseases. Does anyone have practical experience with this?

Hi!
Well, yes, there is a lot of research going on about the beneficial effect of cannabis in reducing inflammation. However, this is still experimental and you are cautioned against not using it to treat lupus. The right dose is yet to be approved. Taking cannabis without medical supervision can be really dangerous. Hope this helps. Take care!

The medical advice given should not be considered a substitute for medical care provided by a doctor who can examine you. The advice may not be completely correct for you as the doctor cannot examine you and does not know your complete medical history. Hence this reply to your post should only be considered as a guiding line and you must consult your doctor at the earliest for your medical problem.

Thank you for replying to my query. Although it is interesting that studies are being made, unfortunately products in the public domain do not usually become authorized treatments. This forces us to experiment on our own, or seek out alternative practitioners. Sad to say that Europe is more patient-friendly.
