I've been a Cannabis advocate loudly and outspokenly for the last 3 or 4 years now as well. Doing more mainstream these days. Little adult here and there. I may shoot some content again once I get moved out there and situated. I learned over the years thanks to Gfy to keep my biz stuff to myself. ;) But ya doing well and about to start a new adventure.

Sorry to hear about your Graves disease diagnosis. I also have autoimmune issues, and cannabis certainly helps me with the symptoms.
From what I've read, cannabis can treat Graves' symptoms, but is not known to actually be a cure for the disease:
Quote:
Graves' disease symptoms:
The onset of Graves' disease symptoms is often insidious: the intensity of symptoms can increase gradually for a long time before the patient is correctly diagnosed with Graves? disease, which may take months or years.
Traditional treatment: (1) anti-thyroid medication (2) radioactive iodine, which kills the overactive thyroid, cells (3) removal of thyroid gland surgically.
Marijuana is used to treat some of the symptoms of Graves? disease not the disease itself!
The patient needs to see an endocrinologist for a positive diagnosis.
Symptoms that can be treated with medical marijuana are:
reduce eye pressure
reduce anxiety
relieve insomnia
reduce irritability
encourage appetite/weight gain
relieve restlessness / nervousness
slow or relax heart rate
Recommendations: Sativa strains for daytime and Indica strains for late afternoon and evening. Alternatively, a 50 percent sativa:50 percent indica for all day.
