Good day to all. I have a question to ask and hope to get answers. Has anyone ever tried cannabis pills for the pain and relief of symptoms of lupus? Does it work and is there any side effects? Does it damage your organs or is it fine to use?

I have a friend who has used the cannibis oil. She said it helped with pain and she sleeps well when she takes it. Apparently there are different types of cannibis and grades, some of them aren't good so I think check before you buy.

Medical strain, high in CBD helps my joint pain better then pain killers, sleep is much better. Not side effects when you know your dose otherwise drowsiness in the beginning. For me it took a while finding a good strain as medical cb isn't available in my area.

I am currently taking cannabis oil before I go to bed. It does help with better and more restful sleep and lessening my stress levels. My feet are usually really aching when I get up. The first few steps I take are so painful I feel like crying, but it feels better since I started taking the oil. I read that it may also cause flares to be less frequent, however, I am only using it for ten days now.There are different types and grades of oil, so it is good to be informed before you buy.
