Tic Disorders/Tourette's and marijuana.

[lazrbeams]

I'm not sure if anyone else on here had Tourette's or a tic disorder, but as someone with Tourette's I feel inclined to ask, how have marijuana/concentrates effected your tic disorders? When smoking, I find it to be anywhere from very effective, to making it even worse, depending on the bud.
After using concentrates for a bit I noticed I'd be so medicated that tics simply weren't an issue, it seems less strain dependent.
I've yet to try vaping, but I am interested in the what differences other people with similar disorders have noticed when vaping as opposed to smoking flowers.
Any questions are certainly welcome as well

This is not the same, but I think you will find a similar answer with respect to Tourette's. Sativa strains or lower temp vaping sometimes kicks my ocd routines into a higher gear, whereas Indicas or high temp vaping makes me more relaxed about the routines. This is not a hard and fast rule, but the extremes can be classified as such.

I would definately avoid any strain that boasts euphoric effects as you well know to cause nervousnous to someone with tourette's syndrome makes their ticks go wild. I recommend looking into low thc strains and higher in cbd. This is more calming to the CNS.

I have mild tourettes and originally took up pot again because I thought it might help. Ive had mixed results...

I mainly vape before bed and have found that some strains help me relax and ease stress-induced ticking which was keeping me awake. However, I dont find it particularly effective during the day. Also, if I'm playing a video game while medicating before bed, it can get worse. This may be the current herb I have... I suspect it is a sativa. I still have lots of experimenting to do and I think its woethwhile to try and find the right dose/time/strain combo. That being said... Dont expect a miracle.

It sure would be easier if I could buy it legally from a shop rather than relying on friends of friends and not knowing the strain I'm vaping.

As for smoking vs vaping - I have not noticed any difference other than a bad taste and less efficiency. Have not tried consumables.
