It seems like it would!. I don't have tourettes, but I do have symptoms from time to time, and I have distant family members with it!. Grass really mellows me out, and it's cool for that kind of situation!. Idk about alcahol, though!. NO CIGARETTES!!! I'm thinkin' you knew that, but the nicotine messes with people, man!. Honestly, I've witnessed it first hand too many times in my life!. Btw, pot is NON-addictive!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Well marijuana is supposed to calm people down!. Tics often occur due to some excitement and are reduced when the individual is in a calmer state of mind!. So im guessing that if your influenced by marijuana, you would calm down and reducing ticsWww@Answer-Health@Com

Yes it does help!. The THC alleviated tourettes symptoms!.
But it is hard to get a dr to prescribe medical marijuana!. I have tourettes and my dr prescribed Clonodine!. It really works! Tell her to talk to her dr about it!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

First: I would ask the doctor to switch medications!.
And yes, in extreme cases, Marijuana (the medical kind), CAN help relieve the symptoms of tourettes!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Sorry, but marijuana is illegal, so use a legal drug/alcohol!. Make your sister go to the doctor also!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
