He does in sense because by stopping the clonus it helps stop the pain. It is different for everyone. The best advice I can give is to try it and see what it does. It doesn't work for everyone from what I gather. Jim's doctor is behind him on using it and is trying to get a study started. Jim is on the list of participants. He takes it like he takes his meds. Three times a day at med time.

He does take Methadone as well though. It doesn't help with the clonus pain for some reason. But when he smokes the weed it calms the clonus down and helps the pain. If you want you can call me and Jim can explain better since he is the one actually "feeling" the effects.
