And what I want to find out is when did it kick in?
When did it peak?
When did it go away?
What were the benefits and side effects?
And if you can answer those questions, I can help you dial it in like any other medicine.
And if five milligrams doesn't work, you don't want to be like a...
a 20 year old boy and then take another five and another 10, you know, and pretty soon you're going to have a really bad evening.
And so you keep notes and over a couple of days we can figure it out.
So we use edibles to help with insomnia, to improve sleep, to help pain and spasticity overnight in a low dose during the day can help with anxiety.
And so we can use different routes of administration of cannabinoids to really target symptoms the same way that we do with Lyrica or Neurontin or Baclofen.
I mean, these drugs that I just listed, they have side effects and they have tolerance and other things that are also important to grapple with.
And so I just view this as another tool to help us navigate through, you know, helping someone live their best life.
I'll tell you a quick funny story, though.
Years ago, before there was medical cannabis in the United States, I was at an international MS meeting.
And a bunch of investigators, we were all having coffee or whatnot.
And I was talking to this MS doctor from Israel.
And he said, in Israel, we give patients with MS rolled joints for free.
And I said, really?
Why?
And he looked at me like I was an idiot.
