22mg THC / day ) and orally administered oil ( equiv . 12.5mg THC / day ). 4 Other less severe adolescent TS cases have reported that as little as 2.5mg THC per day may be all that is necessary .

TS patients quite often suffer as well from ADHD and / or OCD . 5 And because of the social challenges they face , most TS patients report they suffer from anxiety , 6 including social anxiety disorder , 7 and often chronic depression . 8 As this author has written about previously ( refer to the footnotes ), cannabis can be highly effective for all these other conditions as well .

Clinical studies of CBD have shown it to be of little to no benefit for tics and Tourette Syndrome . THC alone , i . e ., high THC strains lacking in CBD and other cannabinoids , as well as THC drugs ( e . g ., Dronabinol , Marinol , etc .), are unlikely to produce optimum longterm benefits . Seek out strains that possess a good balance of cannabinoids . Most TS patients find it best to consume via smoking or vaping , as well as orally . Smoking and vaping produce almost immediate results , while oral consumption stays in the system for hours longer . For adults , start with the equivalent of 10mg THC per day . For children , start with 2.5mg THC per day . Allow a few days for the body to adjust , and if necessary , slowly increase the dose to achieve optimum results .
