Hi Rick Many people i know smoke marijuana for all the usual reasons, but a few do use it medically. Some for migraine, some for nausea and one for dizziness.   Don’t know what the cause of his dizziness actually is, but he was miserable and nearly disabled by it until an associate suggested smoking marijuana. He claims it is the only way he gets relief, and that the stabilizing effect lasts far longer than the buzz. Purely anecdotal, so take it for what it’s worth.   The buzz ain’t bad either  -  and it does relax some folks who are so wired their health suffers.  No one around here has a prescription tho. Ma

Don’t recall anything other than that it makes T worse. Bob S.

I am not familiar with all the new medical marijuana laws, but I know that at least some of them are very specific about what marijuana can be perscribed for (glaucoma, cancer), and tinnitus is not one of them.  So, doctors may not have the option of legally perscribing it even if it does make sense. I assume my tinnitus is the result of Meniere’s-like symptoms I had last year (spinning, nausea, etc).  During one really bad episode, my Antivert and anti-nausea pills were useless because I was vomiting non-stop, and they came up with everything else. Marijuana probably would have been a miracle drug at the time because it has anti-nausea properties and can be smoked. Rick M gaberlu…@worldnet.att.net

But this is mainly anecdotal.  We know that marijuana does induce relaxation and inhibits anxiety.  I would be interested to hear from those who use marijuana for therapeutic purposes in terms of coping with tinnitus.
