Tourette's Syndome Entirely Halted With Cannabis

Billy needs 10 joints per day to get his extreme tics underneath

The fact that cannabis is an active medicine for many diseases is now certain. But the effect of this medicine is rarely proven as hard as with this video by Billy Wieschollek. He suffers - and not too little - from the Tourette syndrome. Because of his gigantic violent tics he can hardly do anything ... until he smokes cannabis! The metamorphosis is incredible, look yourself. The tragedy is also that Billy is a German young man and that medicinal weed in that country is still mostly illegal children's shoes ...

The muscles of Billy shoot so quickly and so violently in spasms that a normal life is impossible. In the video you see what happens when he wants to make a cup of coffee or eat a croissant. It is sometimes quite funny to see, but of course deeply sad. But fortunately there is one medicine that turns this impossible life of Billy into 180 degrees: cannabis!

Ty Bollinger: One thing. And thank you for sharing all that about hemp, cannabis, because that’s kind of a little bit of our hidden history. People don’t realize that. They think—they hear the word marijuana, which is actually a slang for the hemp or the cannabis plant, and they think, “Oh, you must be a pothead.”

Dr. Patrick Quillin: Yeah.

Ty Bollinger: Right? They don’t realize the thousands of medicinal and therapeutic uses for this plant. And so I think that’s really important for people that are watching to know that this is a medicinal plant. And so, thank you for sharing in those details.

Dr. Patrick Quillin: It’s an industrial plant. I mean, instead of—one of the beauties of hemp is you don’t have to, there’s no insect that will eat the plant, and so you don’t have to spray it. And so, instead of cutting down trees to make paper, we could grow hemp and use that to make paper. You can use it to make materials, canvas, clothing; it’s an industrial material. It’s a nutritive material, and it’s a medicinal substance.
