RLS symptoms usually present most severely at night. Gratefully, this is when patients can consume more THC( at home) with less worry of impairment. In fact, consuming CBD past 5 p. m. is generally a bad idea as CBD can interfere with sleep. To get a good night’ s sleep, take an edible( 5-10mg THC) an hour before bedtime. Edibles generally take an hour or so to take effect. If more immediate relief is required, smoking or vaping will do the trick. Though edibles take longer to take effect, they also stay in the system for hours longer than smoking and vaping. Many patients enjoy smoking or vaping as soon as they get home and then take an edible before bedtime. THC is also a great sleep aid, relieving the insomnia that so often accompanies RLS.
Cannabis is providing relief to thousands of RLS sufferers. Many patients report a reduction of the unpleasant sensations of RLS, and some even report total elimination of those pains, sensations, movements, twitches, etc. Just be reasonable about your dosing. Both THC and CBD are biphasic. Take only as much as needed. Too much can be counterproductive.
