bell palsy and marijuana?
Tony K
I have bells palsy now and my left side of my lip isn’t moving and i was really bored and smoked a joint today, what happens if i smoke one more joint tonight? I’ve had it for 4 days.
Thanks a lot
What do you mean, what happens, what do you think happens, you get stoned again. Are you thinking the weed is going to make your lip start moving? I don’t know how medicinally weed works with Bell’s Palsy. I think you need to reword your question.
My guess would be nothing, but one thing that helps bells palsy a lot is something called a TENS device. These are commonly used by physical therapists and chiropractors. TENS stands for “transdermal electro-neural stimulator”.
Two sticky electrodes go over the affected area and a weak electrical pulse is sent to the muscles. If done properly it does work.
Alternatively, you could try supplements for magnesium and folic acid.
Bell’s palsy is a viral infection that affects half of a person’s face. Smoking marijuana won’t affect Bell’s palsy but it will interact with the medications you are taking for Bell’s palsy. Marijuana plays around with many medications that doctors prescribe, and some results were catastrophic.

I have bells palsy and when I smoke it makes my face feel better. I’m not on any meds so it can’t react to anything but it does make my face feel better. I think it should be listed as something to be used when not on meds.
