Cannabis treatment for psoriatic arthritis

Posted Thu 1 Jun 2017 00.44 by Louiseleigh

Hi my names louise and im 25 and have been suffering with psoriasis since i was around about 13. Recently i have found out i have psoriatic arthritis and was wondering if cannabis in any form has helped anyone with psoriatic arthritis as i have had a bad reaction to sulfasalazine i.e muscle problems at the back of my head/neck. I have really been put off taking these types of medicines which i think are called DMADS, if anyone can help i would be truly appreciative thank you.

I've known a few people, but unfortunately after a while they got lots of mental health problems - severe depression and hearing voices! One ended up in a mental hospital sadly. Hemp seed is safer than cannabis as it doesn't seem to cause the depression / psychosis / schizophrenia.

Thank you for your advice. How do you use hemp seed? Is hemp seed more for the skin problem or can it help with the arthiritus aswell and not just for the pain but to stop my bones becoming deformed? Any advice will help thanks.
