Cannabis and Tics / Tourette

Cannabinoid compounds are emerging as a potential treatment for tics and Tourette syndrome, particularly in adults with treatment-resistant symptoms. Studies suggest cananabinoids can reduce tic frequency and severity, improve quality of life, and are generally well-tolerated. Numerous well-designed studies by Dr. Kirsten Müller-Vahl and her colleagues in Germany have demonstrated measurable reductions in tics in controlled trials, supporting the therapeutic potential of cannabinoids in tic management. Medical guidance can help patients find good efficacy and no unwanted side effects.
