What are the true risks of using marijuna? am being told that if i use it for my ms it will be fine. this sounds stooopid to me. i have no intention

Medical MJ: There are risks in some, as psychiatric reactions are well recorded, and educational work often deteriorates. Medical marijuana can help with ms spasticity, actually some studies now, but does not improve ms otherwise, and could interfere with a drug such as gilenya, (fingolimod) which shares receptors. At this time, i cannot endorse medical marijuana in ms therapy otherwise, and suggest discussion with eco.
