What is known about marijuanas potential utility in treating Tourettes syndrome?
“The movement disorders most often discussed as candidates for marijuana-based therapies are dystonias, Huntington’s disease, Parkinson’s disease and Tourette’s syndrome. As a general consideration, it is important to note that stress and anxiety tend to worsen the symptoms of movement disorders. Thus, marijuana’s calming effect could be a primary reason why some patients claim that it brings them relief.” Mar.
