I started out with the CBD Oil. Now I strictly use THC Oil. Reason Being it's fast acting, all around more effective for MS symptoms and prescribed medication to me. That's my opinion. It may be different for the next person. CBD nor THC Oil gives me a serious head high. When I started the @ Avonex I was sick for 1.5 days with Flu symptoms, in the bed, unable to eat, which was on top of the MS Symptoms. Taking additional Cold Medication to combat the Flu. This I endured for awhile once the approval came thru to be in the Medical Marijuana program, I tried CBD first As I stated earlier its not has fast effective and targets MS Symptoms as well as Prescription Drugs like THC Oil! Using THC Oil I can at least be among others instead of in the bed, sick. @A MyMSTeam Member

Grace, Yes Marijuana lets You completely empty the Bladder out. That is great at Bed Time. I used to be up quite often at Night and now maybe once.

@A MyMSTeam Member Hello there. I have tried both and found that the CBD Oil helps with Leg Pain without the High I Also have tried the other 18 percent THC and maybe because I don't Smoke Pot I got really Stoned and the pain was much better. When I spoke with the supplier they suggested CBD for me to avoid the High. I didn't like the high when in my Teens so never smoked it and I still don't like the High now. It makes my already dizzy head even more dizzy. LOL
