I was just recently diagnosed with Lupus and I was wondering if anyone out there knows of any positive or negative effects marijuana may have on this disorder? Thanks!!

    I am sorry about your dx. Lupus is strong, but you are stronger. While there are no studies of cannabis and lupus per se as far as I know, there are certainly anecdotal reports of cannabis relieving lupus symptoms, specifically the pain or lupus related arthritis. Here is a link to the person's description. www.rxmarihuana.com/lupus.htm
    Good luck, and I am happy to answer any other marijuana/health related questions you may have.

        my mom had lupus and had to stop working this year it's so bad. she's a vegan and i've been trying to convince her she should try marijuana as a form of therapy. i would be very interested in your experience if you do decide to try it. and good luck. be strong.
