    Hey there Mike.

    I use a CBD tincture to control my seizures and have no ill or adverse affects on my MG. That being said, there have been some amazing advances in the medical uses. Not so much as studies that I’ve seen. There are hundreds if not thousands of strains of marijuana and hemp that all cater towards different things. If you found using it helpful, I would suggest/recommend doing some research into what you had been using that affected your mental clarity and maybe looking into a specific strain that will assist you with what you’re looking for, like the anti-anxiety benefits. Seedmans . org has been a great resource for me for researching this as they list all the medical strains and you can research based on benefit, CBD or THC content, etc.

    There are a couple of articles over on the main page about studies and person anecdotes on usage that you may find interesting.
