I am looking for both pro's and cons, as well as what forms and strains work to cover the most symptoms.

Yep, I use it, and it has helped me a TON with all of my symptoms. I sleep better (and all night!), have much less leg, neck, back, shoulder pain, RLS is gone, visibly reduced inflammation, less anxiety, wake up every morning pain free which is a great way to start each day. I also add in some THC at night to aid with sleep and to turn off my worrying monkey brain that otherwise just leaps from thought to thought all night preventing restful sleep. All of my DRs support my usage; their only advice was to not smoke it because smoking interferes with the effectiveness of DMTs. But I find plenty of tinctures, capsules, and edibles in a variety of dosages that i mix and match daily. My personal sweet spot is about 30mg CBD daily and about 20mg THC at night. When I first started it, I got a 1:1 consultation at a great local dispensary where they spent about an hour with me going over all my options. That was incredibly helpful and I definitely recommend asking for that where/if you go. Because of my use of medicinal cannabis, I'm able to only have one prescription (Tecfidera) which is important to me because my body is really sensitive. Other than that, I use essential oils for other ailments (newsflash: I was highly skeptical, but they work so much better for me than any OTC medication!). Good luck to you - hope you find the relief you are seeking soon! XX

I use marijuana helps with my pain and also helps my mind rest and body rest

It helps stop the pain in my legs, helps me relax, and, quite frankly, makes me stop worrying about other things that can't be fixed.

Each strain is different though. Some make you feel hyper and others tired. In my opinion! You may look into CBD. Medical dispensaries should lead you in the right direction.
